- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4.5 leading edge, simple catch, and Zimbabwe have some relief. Jarvis delivered another offcutter, but Najmul didn't spot this one, glancing across it much too early. The ball spoons tamely off the leading edge of his bat, and Jarvis is in no trouble holding on to the simple chance 49/15.5 stunning catch! Liton walks across to the off side and attempts a pick-up over fine leg. But he swipes underneath it and the ball balloons way, way into the sky off the leading edge. Madziva is at short fine leg and has plenty of ground to make, but he sprints back and tumbles into position under the ball, holding the catch cleanly 55/27.2 chipped down Williams' throat! What kind of a shot was this? Shakib leaned forward and checked his drive at a full ball, lobbing it softly out to Williams at long off. He barely had to move, just walking in a few metres from the rope. There was no power at all behind the shot. Burl can't believe his luck. And Zimbabwe have another one! 65/316.3 gone this time! Excellent work by Taylor behind the stumps. Mushfiqur swipes across the line at another one that bursts off a length, getting a thin top edge. The ball bounces up at Taylor, who parries it to his left and then grasps it at the second attempt. A difficult chance, but he's held on 143/419.3 another full toss, and he picks out the fielder! Mahmudullah was aiming for the stands beyond midwicket, but couldn't get enough on it, picking out Williams near the rope. The umpires want to have another look at this, as the full toss was quite high ... but replays show it was dipping just under waist height, and he's got to go. 169/618.4 edged, and caught! Afif steps to leg, making room, and aims a flashing drive into the covers. But he has to reach for it, and ends up feathering an edge through to Taylor, who tumbles to his left to hold on 159/519.4 action replay! Another high full toss, another swipe into the leg side, and he gets more height than distance to pick out the fielder. With two rank full tosses, Jarvis is on a hat-trick! 169/7Extras7 (lb 3, w 4)TOTAL175/7 (20 Overs, RR: 8.75)Fall of wickets: 1-49 (Najmul Hossain Shanto, 4.5 ov), 2-55 (Litton Das, 5.5 ov), 3-65 (Shakib Al Hasan, 7.2 ov), 4-143 (Mushfiqur Rahim, 16.3 ov), 5-159 (Afif Hossain, 18.4 ov), 6-169 (Mahmudullah, 19.3 ov), 7-169 (Mosaddek Hossain, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.5 length ball around off, Taylor looks to go over the top but ends up toe-ending it, and as a result gets only the height and not the distance, Shakib settles under it at mid-off 0/18.4 fuller on the stumps, misses the sweep and is struck on the thigh. That's as plumb as it gets. Masakadza is having a chat with his partner but he knows there is no hope and walks back as the timer ends 44/61.3 tossed up on the stumps, Chakabva comes down the track and looks to go over wide long-on, misses and the ball sneaks in through the gate to hit the middle stump. Zimbabwe 2 for 2 in the second over 2/23.1 and strikes straightaway! Was a short of length angling across, Williams goes for the pull but is cramped and ends up slicing it towards midwicket, Afif comes forward and takes it comfortably. Zimbabwe reeling at 8 for 3 8/36.3 and he gets a wicket in his very first over. Was fuller around off, Mutombodzi looked to go over long-off but failed to get the timing right and Najmul takes it comfortably near the boundary 35/47.2 played on! Burl departs! Length ball just outside off, Burl was playing away from the body, just pushing at it, gets an inside edge that ricochets onto the stumps off his thigh. Half the Zimbabwe side are already back in the pavilion in the eight over 37/518.2 fuller and wider outside off, Mutumbami looks go over extra cover but it's a slower one and he ends up slicing it towards short third man, easy catch for Saifuddin 124/812.2 fuller around off, drives it firmly towards extra cover and sets off but Shakib is quick to the ball and fires in the throw one bounce to the keeper who breaks the stumps, Madziva was sent back by his partner, puts in the dive but is way short of his ground. Third umpire needed just one replay 66/719.4 short of length around off, Jarvis looks to go over long-on but cannot clear the fielder, an easy catch for Sabbir and that's the 50th T20I wicket for Mustafizur, the second Bangladesh bowler after Shakib to reach the landmark 136/919.6 moves across way outside off and too early, exposing the stumps, Mustafizur bowls it full-ish and in the line of the stumps to hit the middle stick 136/10Extras5 (b 1, lb 1, w 3)TOTAL136 all out (20 Overs, RR: 6.8)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Brendan Taylor, 0.5 ov), 2-2 (Regis Chakabva, 1.3 ov), 3-8 (Sean Williams, 3.1 ov), 4-35 (Tinotenda Mutombodzi, 6.3 ov), 5-37 (Ryan Burl, 7.2 ov), 6-44 (Hamilton Masakadza, 8.4 ov), 7-66 (Neville Madziva, 12.2 ov), 8-124 (Richmond Mutumbami, 18.2 ov), 9-136 (Kyle Jarvis, 19.4 ov), 10-136 (Ainsley Ndlovu, 19.6 ov)
