    49.1 Sarkar departs for 169! Full, wide and in the slot outside off. Sarkar, all day, has been smashing that over extra cover. This time, though, he just does not get enough elevation and offers a tame catch to Nicholls. A bit of an anti-climactic end but take nothing away from this innings. This has been sensational, given where Bangladesh were today and in the series, and considering the pressure that was on Sarkar individually. A standing ovation from those at the venue, and the NZ players applaud Sarkar off the field - fitting of the sort of knock it was! 290/8
    4.1 edged and gone. Anamul is waiting but Latham is confident. Length ball again, this shaped in and left the right hander. Anamul was half forward, tentatively pushed away from the body. The ball catches the outside edge and carries to Latham at second slip, who swoops down and takes a good low catch 11/1
    7.2 two down. Length ball on stumps, seemed like it stopped in the pitch. Shanto tried to flick but only manages to present a dolly to Nicholls at cover 36/2
    9.4 dangles the carrot and Das couldn't resist. Touch fuller, the line was wider too. Litton throws his bat at this one, fails to keep it down and gifts a dolly to Will Young at cover-point region. 44/3
    16.5 gone this time.. Fuller in length on off, thumped back straight. Clarkson in follow-through gets low to stop the ball but it bursts through his fingers, looks like the ball has flick his trousers and hits the stumps at the bowlers end. Towhid was backing a long-way down and had no chance 80/4
    34.5 edged and taken! Duffy breaks open the game for NZ! Length in the sixth stump channel. Seems to be a cutter and the ball just sits in the surface enough. Mushfiqur tries to dab it fine past the keeper but the lack of pace and the slight extra bounce means that he guides it straight into Blundell's gloves. Massive, massive moment in the game! 171/5
    43.4 Ashok gets his maiden ODI wicket! Shortish outside off, and Mehidy's eyes light up. He throws the kitchen sink at it but cannot keep his stroke down. Cannot get it over backward point either and hits it straight down Young's throat. Not what Bangladesh would have wanted, especially with the partnership blossoming! 232/6
    47.6 and Tanzim hits it straight to backward point! Another cutter, bowled into the track outside off. Tanzim, like Mehidy, cannot keep his stroke down and ends up guiding it straight to the fielder. A handy cameo, but he would be gutted with this dismissal! 272/7
    49.4 edged and taken! Two in the over for O'Rourke! Length outside off. Rishad clears his front leg and aims for the moon. Loses his shape completely and gets a healthy outside edge that is snaffled up by Blundell! 291/9

    49.5 two in two, three in the over, and Bangladesh are bowled out for 291! Full and slanting into leg stump. Mahmud backs away and swings like a rusty gate. Misses it completely and the ball pings off the back pad into the stumps. Bangladesh do not quite get to 300 but they will be happy with how many they have on the board! 291/10

    32.5 Young perishes! Length delivery on middle and off that seems to just stick in the surface. Young is trying to work it to leg with the angle but the sluggishness off the pitch means that he pops it straight back to the bowler, who makes no mistake. Another top innings by Young, and one that has put NZ in a very dominant posiiton! 204/2
    10.6 Rishad Hossain pulls off a good catch at deep midwicket! Short delivery outside the off stump. Rachin pulls it once again and it did seem for a while that he would get to his half-century with a six. Rishad Hossain intercepts the path of the ball with a well-timed jump and takes a superb catch. Entertaining innings by Rachin comes to an end 76/1
    40.4 holes out to deep mid wicket! Banged into the track again but this is closer to the stumps. Nicholls, looking for the pull, is cramped for room and cannot generate the power or the elevation he wants. Arrows it straight down Rishad's throat and Nicholls has to depart, five short of what would have been a deserved hundred! 260/3
