    6.4 at last Bond manages to tempt a drive in the channel outside off stump and gets reward, good length fullish ball, Sarkar can't resist and plays away from his body, a thick edge straight through to the keeper 19/1
    30.2 a big wicket for New Zealand, it's that of the top scorer, Ashraful gets ambitious, going for another one of his favoured pulls, but mistimes it in the worst possible way, done for pace, lobs straight up in the air and Bond races forth, taking a fine diving catch almost completely at the other end of the pitch on the leg side 107/6
    10.1 what a start for Oram! good fullish ball outside off stump, cuts back off the seam, invites the drive, Sanwar is tempted but does so falsely, playing around it, a little inside edge back into off stump which crashes out of its foundation 37/2
    10.2 oh dear oh dear, after a promising start Bangladesh are back into self-destruction mode, Oram has two wickets with his first two balls! short ball angling down the leg side, Habibul feels he doesn't need a sighter and goes for a lavish hook, 37/3
    19.1 foolish stuff from Alok, should've learned from previous indiscretions (and escapes), Adams digs it in short, goes for a hook, but manages to send it sailing straight down to Bond at long leg who takes it comfortably 71/4
    28.1 the bowling change works wonders, Bond on the spot first ball, shortish and lifting just a fraction outside off stump, commits the batsman to play at it, finds the edge and is taken well by Fleming low down at slip 105/5

    38.3 lovely bowling from Oram, bends the back more and extracts some great bounce from the deck, immaculate line on off stump, Mahmud flinches, gloving it straight through to the keeper who snares his third for the day 128/7

    26.4 McMillan throws his wicket away needlessly, trying to get far too cute, jumps well outside off stump, trying to scoop a shortish ball away very fine, but it's too quick for him and goes crashing into the top of middle stump 138/3
    14.1 oh dear oh dear, an abysmal stroke from Fleming, it's a good length, straight ball, he gets down on one knee, trying to paddle it away wide of fine leg who is up inside the circle, gets a huge top edge, goes straight up and Mahmud comes forward to accept the simplest of catches New Zealand, mindful of the Net Run Rate situation, have promoted pinch-hitter Andre Adams to bat at No 3 71/1
    20.1 good catch! the keeper stands up to the stumps to keep the batsman back in his crease, and it does the trick, Mahmud bowling one on a good shortish length, not enough room to free the arms but Adams tries to muscle it over midwicket anyway, but only succeeds in pulling it straight to Ashraful at mid on on the circle edge, taking it smartly above his head, was flying pretty darn hard to him! 99/2
