What a finish again. One run yesterday and last ball today! I think that we have all got our breath back after the end of the game. Bangladesh win the last game by two wickets and so win the series 3-0. The truth is in the last 2 games it was much closer then that.

Mortaza has been named Man of the Match for both his bowling and his batting. He took 4-19 and then hit a quick fire 30 off 13 balls, which won Bangladesh the match today.

Bangladesh now move on to the Netherlands for two T20 games against Scotland and the Netherlands. For Ireland South Africa A are up next, touring throughout August.

That just leaves me to thanks you for following my commentary over the past week. This is Justin Smyth saying goodbye from a cloudy Stormont ground in Belfast. Goodnight.

Johnston to Elias Sunny, 1 run, its pitched up from Johnston. It goes past the short mid-wicket and KOB runs in and picks up the ball. He throws at the non-strikers end. He misses, if he had hit Sunny would have been out. What a finish! Second day running!

All the fielders have come in and the batsman are talking in the middle
