Bangladesh vs Pakistan, 3rd ODI at Chattogram, Dec 06 2011 - Ball by Ball Commentary

And then there were none. Shafiul looks to lash to the leg side as a length ball spins in sharply and breaks the stumps. Malik looks relieved, Misbah smiles like a Cheshire cat, and the crowd looks distraught. Pakistan have swept the series.

that jumps up and turns in sharply, and goes off pad (and maybe bat) to the leg side. Akmal can't get there.

Shafiul gets the front foot forward and tries to defend down the line now.

flighted on leg stump, No. 11 goes for a big heave and misses.

cleaned him up! Sunny is squared up by grip and spin, and is left groping as the ball breaks past and disturbs spin. This dismissal complements the Tamim wicket at the start of the innings. Sums up Bangladesh's day. They have been squared, and quartered, by Pakistan's spin.

short and big spin away, Sunny cuts it away to point.

Razzak's turn to go for a slog-sweep, but he doesn't make clean connection.

Razzak stays back to a quick offbreak that straightens, and can't work the flick away.

Sunny gets the single now, pushed through mid-off.

fired onto the pads, Sunny tries to work it square but can't get it away.

angled into Razzak's pads, and he nurdles it square for a single.

straightening from outside off, defended off the front foot.

extra turn from middle and off, Sunny searches for the line and defends shakily to the off side.

the crowd is stunned. Kapali is gone and that should be the game. Tossed up invitingly on off stump, Kapali plants the front foot across and mows across the line. He got pretty good connection on it, but not enough to clear Shafiq who wasn't fully back on the square leg fence. He had to turn to his right and back to take the catch, and it popped out in the first attempt. But he kept his cool and lunged back to pluck the rebound, a foot or so in front of the ropes.

another topspinner, Kapali spots it late and works it off the outer half of the blade to the bowler.

the straighter one outside off, guided off the outside edge towards backward point.

kapali skips out of the crease and drives down the track, but can't get it past Malik.

he defends a length ball on middle and leg back to the bowler.

Reza is gone, and he's unlucky. There was an inside edge there, that umpire Cloete missed. Ajmal follows up the topspinner with a sharp offbreak that lands on off and hurtles in. Reza was pinned on the crease and the bat came around late, but he still managed to edge it onto the pad. The umpire didn't notice it, and has sent him back.

there you go, the topspinner tossed up wide of off. Reza nearly bites as he looks to lash through the covers. The ball is too good for the edge.
