big appeal from Shahzad as the full ball hits the pads, but nobody will mind with the not-out decision. Job done for England, Bangladesh sadly end the series with a whimper.
Bangladesh vs England, 3rd ODI at Chattogram, Mar 05 2010 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Alastair Cook holds the silver trophy aloft, a proud moment for the young man. That just about concludes things from Chittagong, that is all from me, Sahil Dutta and Liam Brickhill. I think we're all ready for some Test cricket. So do join us on March 12, for the first Test.
And the winners are.... Craig Kieswetter (for fastest fifty AND man of the match, remarkable). He concedes, "it was good to get some runs". Eoin Morgan wins man of the series and with it $2000.
While we all wait to find just who is man of the series I should tell you that Liam Brickhill has sunk a cup of tea and is furiously hacking out the bulletin for today, so check that out soon. For an altogether less cerebral version of events we have a Facebook page you can peruse.
England win by 45 runs and win series 3-0 At times this series Bangladesh have shown a glimpse of the talent around and have really challenged England, but those moments have been too few. Tim Bresnan can be very happy with his effort today, collecting career-best figures of 4-28 but Craig Kieswetter will be most satisfied. He came into the game under a touch of pressure after failing in his first two innings, but today he was in total control bringing up his maiden ODI hundred.
short, a swing, a miss, and we're one ball away
good ball here, full and straight and dug out, good stuff from the youngster
Shahzad's foot saves a boundary there, full and crashed back at him, goes into his foot away for one
tries to heave this down the ground, but doesn't time it and it trickles to mid off
full and swung away with no timing
almost collects his five-wicket haul, with a full yorker that evades off stump by a fraction
good ball, finds some extra bounce from a tight line and it's defended back to the bowler
shorter and shovelled away for a single into the leg side
call Tim Bresnan a big man at your peril, but for a man of his generous build this is a fantastic stop, diving in his follow through to his left to collect a one-handed stop
thrown a little wider, Razzak giving himself room, but his swish meets only the air and Prior collects
almost gets it there, Razzak swing a pull shot, which comes off the inside-edge, just passed leg stump where a tumbling Prior collects
Tim Bresnan has this one over to try and collect a five-wicket haul.
a very stylish flick, whipping the wrists over the ball to send it out to deep square for one
another leg-side heave attempted, doesn't time it and it runs to midwicket for one
this is a lovely heave, head looking to the heavens, bat whirling around at fresh air, the ball goes through to Prior
much fuller, yorker length, Razzak tries to bunt it away but can't
better from Shahzad, on a line, back of a length and defended well
a few more of these perhaps, attempted yorker is too full and too far down leg side, clips a pad and runs away for four down to fine leg
57 from 18 balls needed.
well the only thing memorable about this is that Tim Bresnan has collected his best ODI figures, an attempted guide to third man catches the edge and is taken by Prior
back of a length, on off stump, a play and a miss
