- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.4 Mortaza bangs it in on a good length on the offstump and gets it to cut back in, he tries to defend close to his pads but he appears to get a thick inside edge on to his pad which lobs up to Shakib at square leg who runs forward, the appeal was initially for a lbw but he was given out caught, I need to see another replay of that 23/113.3 floated from outside off, the ball lands in line with the middle stump and goes through with the angle, Sibanda defends very close to the pads, Shakib persists with the appeal and the umpire Nadir Shah raises the finger 53/221.6 that's a stunning catch! He gets forward to chip it with the turn towards mid-on, Raqibul at short midwicket flings himself to his left and pulls off a stunner while airborne, he will cherish this catch for a long time 94/419.2 that reverse sweep was bound to out him in his place at some point, he tries to cream a high full toss over the off side, Mortaza at short third man leaps up, fumbles initially but takes the catch at the second attempt 88/322.2 now Zimbabwe are in deep trouble, he gets it to turn sharply from over the wicket, Williams tries to work it to the on side but the ball hits his pads in line with the leg stump, he gets only half forward 94/535.1 very soft dismissal, it's a long hop which should have been put away, he stays back at the crease and tamely punches it back to the bowler, he takes a very easy return catch 123/649.5 makes room and heaves it over square leg, they attempt a second run but the throw from the deep is sharp and Rahim does well to slide to his right and whip off the bails 204/944.4 gives it a lot of air on middle and off and tempts Utseya into going for the slog sweep, he gets a thick top edge and it sails straight in to Mahbubul's hands at deep square-leg 155/748.6 easy take, Mortaza continues bowling the slow off cutters and this time he pitches it up, Price makes room and tries to cart him over long-on but he fails to get enough elevation and finds Shakib who takes it easily just before the rope 185/8Extras14 (lb 3, w 11)TOTAL205/9 (50 Overs, RR: 4.1)Fall of wickets: 1-23 (Hamilton Masakadza, 4.4 ov), 2-53 (Vusi Sibanda, 13.3 ov), 3-88 (Tatenda Taibu, 19.2 ov), 4-94 (Stuart Matsikenyeri, 21.6 ov), 5-94 (Sean Williams, 22.2 ov), 6-123 (Keith Dabengwa, 35.1 ov), 7-155 (Prosper Utseya, 44.4 ov), 8-185 (Ray Price, 48.6 ov), 9-204 (Elton Chigumbura, 49.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.1 terrible mixup and Tamim can't believe what has happened, ashraful gives the charge and scoops it just over short midwicket, the throw from long-on is fired to the keeper, Ashraful isn't interested in the extra run but fails to notice that Tamim's already half way down the pitch, Tamim has no time to turn around and he gives up thanks to the accuracy of the throw 32/31.2 not so sure if that was hitting the stumps, he delivers from round the wickets and gets the ball to drift away from the left-hander, Junaid gets forward and is hit on the pad but it didn't really look like hitting the offstump, no wonder Junaid was a little surprised at Doctrove's decison 9/12.3 Mushfiqur completely misjudges it! Rainsford lands it on a good length on the offstump and gets it to come back in, Mushfiqur shoulders arms and expects the ball to sail over the stumps but to his horror it clips the top of the offstump, excellent delivery to square him up and it's game on already at Mirpur 10/211.3 now Ashraful goes and Bangladesh are in deep trouble, Ashraful gives him the charge and tries to clear long-on but fails to get the desired elevation, the ball dips on Sibanda and he manages to hang on to it very well on the dive 33/434.2 the bowling change works, Chigumbura adjusts the line closer to the offstump, the ball kicks up a bit on Shakin who shapes to cut square but he only ends up getting a thick edge to Taibu 126/725.3 that run-out miss didn't cost anything at all! He slips in a quicker one and Raqibul's beaten in flight as he gets forward to drive and the ball goes through straight and hits the stumps 92/526.2 Zimbabwe are clawing back and hard! Price teases him with flight and he gives him the charge and attempts to take him down town, he misses the ball completely and Taibu has the easiest of stumpings 95/641.6 another direct hit! He nudges it softly towards short midwicket and attempts a risky run, Williams gathers the ball and under arms the ball directly at the non-striker's end, the third umpire takes a look 146/937.4 it's that man Chigumbura again! He taps it towards square leg and sets off for a quick single, Chigumbutra gathers and in one motion effects a direct hit and Mortaza is a yard short, excellent fielding, the third umpire takes a look 132/846.2 and Zimbabwe win! Mahbubul tries to launch him downtown by stepping down the track, he fails to get the elevation to clear long-on and Matsikenyeri cups it just in front of the rope 167/10Extras10 (b 1, lb 3, w 6)TOTAL167 all out (46.2 Overs, RR: 3.6)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (Zunaed Siddique, 1.2 ov), 2-10 (Mushfiqur Rahim, 2.3 ov), 3-32 (Tamim Iqbal, 11.1 ov), 4-33 (Mohammad Ashraful, 11.3 ov), 5-92 (Raqibul Hasan, 25.3 ov), 6-95 (Mehrab Hossain jnr, 26.2 ov), 7-126 (Shakib Al Hasan, 34.2 ov), 8-132 (Mashrafe Mortaza, 37.4 ov), 9-146 (Naeem Islam, 41.6 ov), 10-167 (Mahbubul Alam, 46.2 ov)
