34.2: Riley Meredith to Towhid Hridoy, Short of a length and on middle, Towhid Hridoy pulls it crisply but staight towards deep square leg for a single.

34.1: Riley Meredith to Towhid Hridoy, SIX! Makes the most of the Free Hit. Bangladesh are a couple of hits away from a famous series win now. Speared on a length, on the pads. Towhid Hridoy makes good use of the pace, nails the pick-up shot and whips it over deep backward square leg for a biggie.

34.1: Riley Meredith to Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Sharp short ball climbing at the shoulder height of the batter.

33.6: Nathan Ellis to Towhid Hridoy, Excellent running! Good length on the middle stump, Hridoy stays put and turns it wide of square leg and they show good urgency to hustle back for the second run.

33.4: Nathan Ellis to Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Ouch! Surprise bumper on the bodyline, and it springs up from the pitch. Mehidy Hasan Miraz is completely taken aback as he takes his eyes off the ball while attempting the pull shot, but is beaten. The ball smashes hard onto the side of the helmet and lobs over and to the left of the backward point fielder for a leg bye. A concussion test will follow for Miraz and he looks shaken by that proper blow.
