Presentation
Sammy Congratulations to Bangladesh, they played well. We were in a good position to score 240 but we did not get there. We have had a good year but this might put a dent on our Christmas. But everything happens for a reason and hope to improve. The batting of Powell, Pollard and Roach getting a five-for, all of them are positives. We have one more game to go and hope to finish the series on a high.
Mahmudullah, man of the match Was worried when I got out but Nasir played well, was nervous in the dressing room. No thinking, play your game and take advantage of the bad ball. Happy with my contributions, that is what matters and that we won the series. I want to thank the crowd, they were fantastic.
Rahim Boys stuck to the task, had said will be the test of nerves and happy to execute our plans. Last two games did not bat well, we needed to do the right things in all three departments. I thought today we did a good job after losing the first three wickets.
Rahim is also declared the man of the series!
Right so that makes it an excellent series win for the home team, who looked like they were down and out after West Indies came back from being 0-2 down to level the series. Then again, when Pollard was taking on the bowling today, it was again advantage West Indies but Bangladesh have clawed back really well to win it, hats off to their superb show.
Both teams are out and shaking hands, the Bangladeshis understandably cock-a-hoop and the players are dancing to the music on the field, all of them!
that was cut away but the ball does not get to fence, the batsmen don't cross over thinking it has gone to the fence and by the time the ball is retrieved back, the stumps have been uprooted by the batsmen. West Indies are appealing for a run-out or probably telling the umpires that the run was not completed! wow drama!
another short of length and tapped away to the leg side, they are off for a very quick single to tie the game
bouncer and left well, swayed away with the eyes on the ball, the gloves were close to the ball but does not hit them
outside the off stump and lets it go through to the keeper
short of length and on the pads, he tucks it away to the leg side for a single
Right, so Russell, who has had a very poor day, comes on. Can he turn things around. Roach, by the way, has five wickets now. With an over to go.
short of length and defended off the back foot
big, big appeal given out but was it pitching outside? that is a big one, pitching way outside the off and that is a very poor decision given at a very crucial time, Razzaq's gone and Bangladesh is still three short
whoa, he was trying for a yorker it seems and it slips out of his hands, full-toss over waist and the bowler immediately apologises!
Four still needed, many, many deliveries and three wickets standing. A wicket here will set the cat about. But they are a shot away.
edged and taken! gone, caught by the wicket-keeper, it was another shorter one but close to the body, turned out to be snorter, seven down now.
outside the off stump and he goes for a cut, misses the outside edge of the bat
fuller and driven to mid-on, not for a run
whoa, that has been upper cut to the fence! this was short from Roach and he was waiting, went after it, goes over the two slips in place and goes one bounce into the fence
round the stumps, slowly comes into the bat and defends, the leading edge flies off to the off side for a single
goes down the track and wants to crash it through, manages to get his bat down
on the middle and defended off the front foot, back to the bowler
short and wants to pull it away, does not get hold of it and it falls in front of the deep square-leg fielder, for a single
Difficulties in gripping the ball, Permaul
fuller in length and he goes down the track, drives it down the ground for a single
short of length and goes to cut it, the fielder at covers is inside the circle
keeps digging them short but for now, there is no pace and easily defended on the back foot
