    20.2 Price has struck right away, Tamim trying to take him on with a lunging slog sweep, Price does not give it a lot of air, pushes it through, and Tamim smashes it straight to midwicket, Price celebrates with lots of words, that is a huge wicket 79/3
    9.2 Meth has struck, that is a lovely delivery, the angle from round the stumps has worked, angled in on a fullish length just outside off, he has to play at it, but it moves away to take the edge and this time Taibu holds on 30/1
    16.2 Elton has struck and has taken off in celebration, bends it in with the angle on a length close to off, Ashraful goes feeling forward for it and gets an edge through to Taibu, just walked in to a prod 70/2
    27.1 Rahim has given it away after looking so good, pushed through flat and shortish with the angle from round the wicket, Rahim looks to sweep it over square leg but gets it straight to that man, it got on quickly to him and he was not in a great position for the shot 119/4
    47.6 Shakib is gone, Meth goes full on leg stump from round the wicket, Shakib walks across trying to scoop him over short fine leg, misses and leg stump is uprooted 234/6
    29.5 Price has struck again, he has kept building up the pressure with those dot balls in this over and the newcomer has cracked, Hom saw one bowled fuller and lunged hard at it, but swung it straight to deep midwicket 127/5

    1.1 gone right away, Rubel strikes first ball, Taylor pushing away from his body, a problem he has had throughout this series, holding its line some way outside off from a length, no need to do anything with it, but Taylor goes poking limply and Rahim gleefully snaps up the edge 2/1
    13.4 Sibanda is gone, off a mistimed pull, not for the first time in the series, rocked back as he saw one angled in short in to him, but got the pull off the back of the bat towards short third man who took the dolly 59/2
    16.5 gone leg before, this time the appeal is upheld, shuffling forward to one coming in with the angle, struck in front of middle and leg, that would have hit leg stump, and he is sent on his way 73/3
    17.2 could not get plumber that that, Taibu trying to drag the sweep from off stump, Shakib angles it in full from wide of the crease, pitched around middle and off, Taibu misses with the big swing, and that was hitting off and middle, more middle than off 73/4
    31.5 gone! superb work from extra cover, and guess who it is, it is Shakib Al Hasan, low full toss hit hard, he thought it had enough to go past extra cover, but Shakib was around there to put in a big dive to his right and stop the ball, Mutizwa was more than half way down the track by then, and it was too late to get back as Shakib fired in an accurate throw to Rahim, can any performance get more all-round than that? 140/5
    37.2 that is it for Waller and for Zimbabwe I say, down on the knee and tries to slog-sweep over midwicket, gets it straight to the man in the deep, been an entertaining innings, and has brought Zimbabwe back a shade but he has given it away 160/7
    33.6 the tamest of tame dismissals, shuffled across to a short delivery turning in, seemed to be in two minds whether to crack it over midwicket or play it out, in the end did something in between and pushed it straight to the man there 145/6
    37.6 another one goes, Utseya departs now, shortish one, he tries to go back in the crease and pull it through square leg, tame top edge, swirls up tamely and shot fine leg is waiting under it 160/8
    38.2 all over for Zimbabwe, that is the game for Bangladesh, Meth is not going to come out to bat, widish delivery, he goes after it from the crease and hits it to backward point 160/10
