10.5 to TWM Latham, ...and he has spooned a return catch. Latham dares to step out, Mahedi drags his length back, the batter closes his bat-face fairly early once again and chips it back to the left of the bowler. 62/5

2.1 to FH Allen, and he strikes straightaway. A soft dismissal for Finn Allen. Was a fuller delivery on the pads and he ends up whipping it towards mid-on where Mahmudullah accepts the surprise gift. 16/1

Mohammad Saifuddin	4	0	28	2	7.00	10	3	0	1	0
6.4 to WA Young, trapped right in front. A length ball around off and middle. Young wanted to flick it on the leg side but misses as the ball keeps a touch low and hits him on the pads. Young has opted for a review after a discussion with his partner. There is no inside edge, it hit him in front of off and would have gone on to hit the middle stump. 46/2 6.6 to C de Grandhomme, Saifuddin gets another. Another slower one, fuller outside off and coming back in. de Grandhomme planted his front foot and went for the flick but missed. He also opts for a review. No inside edge involved. And it would have gone on to hit the top of the leg stump, umpire's call there. de Grandhomme walks back but at least don't lose their review. 46/3
Mahmudullah	2	0	10	1	5.00	5	1	0	0	0
9.3 to R Ravindra, fuller on the stumps, Ravindra comes forward and looks to whip it towards midwicket but misses the ball completely. The ball crashes into the leg stump. 58/4

3.3 to Mahedi Hasan, Ajaz gets his first. A length ball at the stumps, Mahedi went back and ended up chipping it towards short midwicket where the fielder lunged forward to take a low catch. 24/2 3.5 to Shakib Al Hasan, Ajaz traps the big fish.Shakib dances down the ground and looks to smash it over long-on. But he fails to middle it, the bottom hand comes off the bat too as he skies it towards long-on, where McConchie takes a juggling a catch. 25/3 9.2 to Mahmudullah, hits it straight to extra cover. A fuller length ball around off, Mahmudullah backs away and goes for the drive but fails to keep it down. Another low catch by Nicholls as a distraught Mahmudullah walks back. 43/5 9.3 to Afif Hossain, bowled 'im! Tossed up but it's almost a yorker-length ball around off stump. Afif looks to jam his bat at it but misses and the ball spins in to hit the off stump. Ajaz has his fourth and he is on a hat-trick. 43/6
Cole McConchie	4	0	15	3	3.75	17	2	0	0	0
2.5 to Litton Das, given lbw and after a bit of discussion with his partner, decided to walk. A length ball around off and spinning in. Liton went for that aerial sweep but was early into the shot and missed. Got struck on the front pad and up goes the finger. 23/1 13.1 to Nurul Hasan, McConchie comes back and strikes immediately. Blundell, who is usually behind the stumps, tears across to his left from long-on and completes a tumbling catch. Dangled up outside off, Nurul aims to dump it down the ground, but can only miscue it to the outfielder. NZ are three wickets away from victory. 57/7 15.4 to Mohammad Saifuddin, 90.6ks slider from McConchie, fizzes in as opposed to turning away to catch Saif in the crease. He plays across it and is struck on the front pad in line with middle. Saif has asked for a review. No bat involved and it's crashing into leg stump. Saif loses his wicket and a review. 66/8
Rachin Ravindra	4	0	13	1	3.25	12	0	0	0	0

Scott Kuggeleijn	3	0	14	1	4.66	6	0	0	2	0
17.2 to Nasum Ahmed, back of a length and clattering into middle stump as Nasum misses his leg-side heave. The middle stump is knocked out. NZ are one away from a stunning victory in Dhaka. 70/9

Bangladesh batting coach says they were 'too aggressive early on' in their chase of 129

Bangladesh had been skittled for just 76 in the third T20I

Inexperienced players 'learning on the job effectively' the biggest plus, says Henry Nicholls

"If you're able to stick in there, then it is actually tough for them as well," Nicholls says about the tough Dhaka tracks

Mirpur pitches could do Bangladesh's T20 World Cup prep more harm than good

They have lacked pace, produced sharp spin and uneven bounce in the series against Australia and New Zealand

For Ajaz Patel, the plan is to 'bowl into the wicket and spin the ball hard'

"You have to take a bit of responsibility in these conditions and make sure you do something for your team"

Can't always have intensity levels up in international cricket - Domingo

Bangladesh coach says loss in third T20I against New Zealand just a blip in a successful recent period
