END OF OVER:
43 | 10 Runs 2 Wkts | BAN: 322/3 | RR: 7.48

  • Tamim Iqbal128 (109b)
  • Carl Mumba8-0-69-3
  • Donald Tiripano8-0-65-0

7.44pm So Bangladesh end with 322, just like they did in the second ODI on Tuesday. This target will be revised though, because it's a rain-shortened contest. The heroes of the day were both Liton Das and Tamim Iqbal, smacking hundreds for the second time in this three-match series. Zimbabwe's target will be 342 from 43 overs. Be back in just a bit for the chase

Mumba to Afif Hossain, OUT, a wicket to finish off! Mumba has three as Afif smacks one away towards deep mid-wicket, and it is taken

Afif Hossain c Williams b Mumba 7 (4b 1x4 0x6) SR: 175.00

kuda: "the only acceptable explanation that we will accept from Zim players after this massacre is to bat like this and win the match...someone tell me this is a jinx" ---- Yes, clearly they don't feel comfortable chasing anything less than 320-odd

Mumba to Afif Hossain, 2 runs, full, angles in, and he whips this away towards long leg. Taylor goes across from deep backward square, and keeps it down to two

Mumba to Afif Hossain, 1 wide, looks to go full and wide, but sprays it just over the tramline

Mumba to Afif Hossain, FOUR, width on offer, and he stretches forward to drive this through covers. Terrific timing from the young man, to get his first boundary in ODI cricket

Sadman Hasan: "Hey Debayan, how are your colleagues Muthu and Anuj enjoying this scintillating batting display from Bangladesh?" --- They are positively jubilant!

Mumba to Afif Hossain, 1 wide, goes for a length ball down the leg side, and he misses

Afif comes in. A thankless time to walk in on debut

James: "OK, the bowlers haven't been great, and they've had problems with the wet ball, but we should also credit some excellent batting." --- Absolutely. Especially after the rain break

Mumba gets his second wicket

Mumba to Mahmudullah, OUT, full ball, and given out leg before as Mahmudullah looks to flick this away. Considered a review, but then realised that this was quite straight. He had shuffled across to work this towards fine leg, but the length and speed on that made picking it for runs impossible

Mahmudullah lbw b Mumba 3 (4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 75.00

Vinay: "Could a bowling machine have done any worse since the rain break?" ---- I don't know if gripping a wettish ball affects a machine, to be fair

Tiripano to Mahmudullah, 1 run, slower ball, around the pads, and he works this off his pads towards fine leg

Zubaier Mostafa: "Liton u were so close to 200. What did u do?" ---- Went for the runs. On most days, could have easily cleared long-on for six

Tiripano to Tamim Iqbal, 1 run, fuller, around off, and he swats this towards deep point. Goes too quickly to contemplate anything other than the single

Joynul : "I cant scream anymore. My voice is gone totally due to cheering all those Sixes. But i want to Scream "

Tiripano to Tamim Iqbal, FOUR, length, around off, and he goes inside out. Just wide of long-off, and bounces past him for four.

AussieBren: "Yikes. Imagine if they had all 50 overs. Zimbabwe chasing 350-400?"

Tiripano to Tamim Iqbal, SIX, length, backs away and swings this over mid-wicket. Much more off the middle of the bat. Tasty!

Brings up 300 for the third successive game here for Bangladesh

My colleague Mathew Varghese confirms that this is the fourth time two Bangladesh players have got hundreds in one innings, but the first involving both openers.
