- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR14.4 Raza finds the breakthough, clean bowled! A topsy-turvy innings by Saif finally comes to an end. Length ball quicker on middle-leg, sligth deviation and that's enough to go through the bat-pad. Saif gets down on one knee to play the slog sweep shot, misses the length and the ball crashes onto the stumps. 120/115.2 Dragged on and Ngarava is pumped up! Length ball angling in on the pads, moves away from the wicket and tries to whisk it down, gets cramped for space and inside edges onto the pad, ricochets off the pads and rattles the leg stump! No need for the fielders there; the bowlers have taken the responsibility on their shoulders. 122/215.5 Finally, Zimbabwe fielders have managed to hold on to a catch! Hard length ball on the stumps, strides out of the crease and gets cramped for space; plays the slog stroke half-heartedly across the line and chips it to cover point. Madande tracks back and times his dive to gobble it up, brilliantly taken by the ring fielder! 128/316.3 Raza completes the catch! Shortish length ball around off, tries to send it downtown and miscues the stroke towards long on, not getting enough elevation or power. Raza rushes in and settles underneath the trajectory of the ball, makes no mistake. 137/416.5 Gloved it to the keeper! Bowls a bouncer ball on the leg stump line, moves away from the wicket to play the pull shot, gets into an awkward position and loses his shape there, feathers it off the gloves behind the stumps and Marumani grabs it. 141/5Extras9 (b 1, lb 2, w 6)TOTAL186/5 (20 Overs, RR: 9.3)Fall of wickets: 1-120 (Saif Hassan, 14.4 ov), 2-122 (Tanzid Hasan, 15.2 ov), 3-128 (Towhid Hridoy, 15.5 ov), 4-137 (Parvez Hossain Emon, 16.3 ov), 5-141 (Nurul Hasan, 16.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.6 Sends the leg stump on vacation! Full, overpitched and pace on ball darted on the leg stump channel. Bennett moves away from the wicket early, creates ample space to flay this one through the covers, throws the kitchen sink at it and connects with thin air, exposing all three stumps and Rana hits the target with sheer pace! 19/20.6 Soft dismissal! Back of a length ball angling in on the stumps, moves onto the back foot and parries it down casually across the line, chips it to the midwicket ring fielder for a regulation catch. 15/12.4 Mahedi strikes! Arm ball on a length darted on the stumps, gets down on one knee to play the slog sweep shot, misses the length and lets the ball sneak through the bat-pad to crash onto the middle stump. More trouble for the home team! 21/38.1 Done him with a peach of a delivery! Lovely flighted length ball from Rishad, pitching on middle-off and turns in a wee bit, does the damage as it sneaks through the bat-pad of Shumba, who attempts to send the ball out of the park with the slog sweep stroke but connects with thin air. 68/56.5 Edged and gone! Length ball spins away sharply after pitching on middle-off, Raza tries to swat it down away from the body, outside edges to the keeper and Nurul does the rest behind the stumps. 65/413.5 Burl bites the dust! Short of a length ball outside off, plays with the cross bat and tonks it half-heartedly towards deep midwicket; the sweeper fielder comes around and completes the catch with ease. 109/79.3 Caught at deep square leg! Back of a length ball on the stumps, tries to heave it away over the on-side area, fails to generate enough power or elevation to clear the ropes, finds Rishad there. 80/614.1 quicker length ball angling away wide outside off, Musekiwa extends his arms to swing it away, only manages to splice it to Saifuddin at the edge of the circle for a regulation catch 109/818.4 Change of pace does the trick! Full and overpitched ball angling away outside off, throws the bat at it and miscues towards the left of deep midwicket. Emon comes around and dives in full stretched, hold on to it and keeps his balance there, takes a spectacular catch! 149/919.4 Bowled'em! Quicker and fuller on the off stump line, tries to play the big slog stroke across the line, misses the length and Rishad knocks over the off stump. Handshakes all around, and Bangladesh level the series 1-1. 152/10Extras5 (lb 1, w 4)TOTAL152 all out (19.4 Overs, RR: 7.72)Fall of wickets: 1-15 (Tadiwanashe Marumani, 0.6 ov), 2-19 (Brian Bennett, 1.6 ov), 3-21 (Dion Myers, 2.4 ov), 4-65 (Sikandar Raza, 6.5 ov), 5-68 (Milton Shumba, 8.1 ov), 6-80 (Clive Madande, 9.3 ov), 7-109 (Ryan Burl, 13.5 ov), 8-109 (Tashinga Musekiwa, 14.1 ov), 9-149 (Brad Evans, 18.4 ov), 10-152 (Blessing Muzarabani, 19.4 ov)
