48.3: Mehidy Hasan Miraz to Wellington Masakadza, OUT! TIMBER! An absolute beauty from Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Bangladesh continue to strike back! Bowled from wide of the crease on the around-the-wicket angle, on the off stump, on a nagging length, Wellington Masakadza presses forward to defend but gets squared up as the ball lands and straightens to go past the outside edge. It goes through to hit the top of the off stump. Back-to-back five wicket-hauls for Mehidy. Zimbabwe are now 161/7, needing 13 more runs.

0
79.2: Blessing Muzarabani to Jaker Ali, OUT! CAUGHT! THAT WILL BE THE END OF BANGLADESH'S INNINGS! Full on off, Jaker Ali shuffles across a bit and goes for the slog sweep. He gets a lot of air on that one but not the distance, as the deep mid-wicket fielder gets under the high ball and gobbles it up near the boundary. That is a good catch from Nick Welch near the boundary. Blessing Muzarabani finishes with a six-fer to his name. And Zimbabwe have a target of 174 runs!

0

The ball hits his boot on the full and a loud appeal follows. The umpire is unmoved and Zimbabwe go for the review. The Ball Tracking shows that the impact is outside off and Zimbabwe will lose the review.

Slanting in, on off, on a length, Khaled Ahmed plays for the ball angling into him but it lands and straightens enough to catch the outside edge.
