Bangladesh hold nerve to win series
After failing to chase 211 last night, they overcame three difficult phases in their pursuit of a target of similar proportion, to win a series they had led 2-0 but almost let slip out of their grasp

Presentation
Sammy Congratulations to Bangladesh, they played well. We were in a good position to score 240 but we did not get there. We have had a good year but this might put a dent on our Christmas. But everything happens for a reason and hope to improve. The batting of Powell, Pollard and Roach getting a five-for, all of them are positives. We have one more game to go and hope to finish the series on a high.
Mahmudullah, man of the match Was worried when I got out but Nasir played well, was nervous in the dressing room. No thinking, play your game and take advantage of the bad ball. Happy with my contributions, that is what matters and that we won the series. I want to thank the crowd, they were fantastic.
Rahim Boys stuck to the task, had said will be the test of nerves and happy to execute our plans. Last two games did not bat well, we needed to do the right things in all three departments. I thought today we did a good job after losing the first three wickets.
Rahim is also declared the man of the series!
Right so that makes it an excellent series win for the home team, who looked like they were down and out after West Indies came back from being 0-2 down to level the series. Then again, when Pollard was taking on the bowling today, it was again advantage West Indies but Bangladesh have clawed back really well to win it, hats off to their superb show.
Both teams are out and shaking hands, the Bangladeshis understandably cock-a-hoop and the players are dancing to the music on the field, all of them!

Russell to Nasir Hossain, FOUR, phew, now that is a boundary, cut away to the fence for a four this time, and this time it is definitely a win!
43.5
0
Russell to Nasir Hossain, no run, that was cut away but the ball does not get to fence, the batsmen don't cross over thinking it has gone to the fence and by the time the ball is retrieved back, the stumps have been uprooted by the batsmen. West Indies are appealing for a run-out or probably telling the umpires that the run was not completed! wow drama!
43.4
1
Russell to Elias Sunny, 1 run, another short of length and tapped away to the leg side, they are off for a very quick single to tie the game
43.3
0
Russell to Elias Sunny, no run, bouncer and left well, swayed away with the eyes on the ball, the gloves were close to the ball but does not hit them
43.2
0
Russell to Elias Sunny, no run, outside the off stump and lets it go through to the keeper
43.1
1
Russell to Nasir Hossain, 1 run, short of length and on the pads, he tucks it away to the leg side for a single
Right, so Russell, who has had a very poor day, comes on. Can he turn things around. Roach, by the way, has five wickets now. With an over to go.
