Full commentary
Good win for Bangladesh. They were the better side by some distance. Razzak led the way with 5 for 29 and Shakib finished it off in Raqibul's company with a flamboyant century. The crowd laps it up as he walks off. This is a big win, with seven wickets and 123 balls remaining. A target of 220 just didn't test Bangladesh. Razzak and Shakib will now vie for the Man-of-the-Match award. Stay tuned.
Zaman: "Yes! This guy Shakib is the number 1 all-rounder! Not only in Bangladesh but in the world also. Bangladesh need more players like him. They don't need a talent like Ash!"
Abul Shamsuddin: "We need a player like Ashraful. Unfortunatly, he is going through a bad patch. Don't discount him alltogether."
Asif Rahman: "Agree with Zaman. Ash has to go. We have more consistent players in the dugout, aching to go."
Masakadza: "We started well but it turned out to be a bad day in the office. We just didn't get enough runs. We need more runs. The wicket played very well."
Shakib: "Very happy that we came back so well. Razzak bowled very well and I got some runs. They started well after ten overs and we were worried but we knew our strength was spin and that worked. Ashraful is a key bowler and every time he comes on he gets wickets. We're looking forward to the rest of the series."
Razzak is the Man of the Match: "I'm very happy. In morning time we were on the back foot when they began well but we came back well. There wasn't that much turn but I focused to put the ball on the stumps."
So that is it from us at Cricinfo. See you next time. Bye for now!

Chibhabha to Shakib, no run
good ball, cramps him for room with the length and Shakib gets up to punch the ball out to the deep, its an easy single but they have a good think before taking it and decide not to in the end
Right then. Shakib needs three. Bangladesh need seven. The crowd is abuzz.
