7.35pm Bangladesh complete a thoroughly disciplined effort in the field, while Brendan Taylor carries his bat to hold Zimbabwe together with 59 not out. Despite the bowler-friendly conditions, one can't help but feel that Zimbabwe's total is below par. All of Bangladesh's bowlers peformed their roles with aplomb, sharing the wickets around. Though he didn't strike, Hasan Mahmud looked impressive. Zimbabwe will need to pull something out of the bag in the field if they are to avoid another series whitewash. Join us in 10 minutes for the chase!

"A little bit sticky out there, and a lot of change ups and skills from them made it very difficult," says Brendan Taylor. "We were probably 20 or 30 short, but we kept losing wickets. For me, it's been the high of the tour, but just a little short for the team. I just don't know how to hit him, he's a highly skillful guy," he says of Mustafizur.

Mohammad Saifuddin to Taylor, no run, another slower one, outside off, and Taylor flings a drive over the top of it

Levi: "I want to see Mutombodzi do well but i think Tests are his format. Batting 8 and not bowling in a T20 is a waste of a spot." -- He performed the role very well in the second ODI, but may find his spot challenged when Burl is fit again.

Mustafizur Rahman to Madhevere, OUT, holes out first ball! Madhevere perishes in the pursuit of quick runs. The ball was short, another cutter, and it got big on him. He opened his stance and set himself at the crease, but couldn't hit it long enough to beat long on

Mustafizur Rahman to Taylor, FOUR, what a shot from Taylor, he reverses his stance and lifts a full ball up and over short third man with a reverse lap. It's been a very tough tour from him, but he's finally delivered a half century - his sixth in this format

Mustafizur Rahman to Mutombodzi, OUT, top edge, and a simple catch! Mustafizur follows the full, wide one up with a short ball that bounces up at Mutombodzi. He pulls at it, aiming for the stands, but he's undone by the extra bounce. The ball takes the splice and loops tamely out to deep midwicket, where the fielder trots in to hold a regulation outfield catch. Never really got going, did Tino, and Bangladesh have another one

Hasan Mahmud to Mutombodzi, no run, another short one, and it likewise has the beating of Mutombodzi, bursting past him. Strong finish to his first international outing for Mahmud

Simba T: "Today as Zimbabwe bat i'm not going to comment because during the last match i ended up being accused of having jinxed the Zim future batsmen at crease then, but tell me what has been Mutumbami's contribution to the team to justify his inclusion ahead of PJ Moor?" -- Mutumbami's made some runs in domestic cricket ahead of the tour. Moor could be back in action soon - he's been included in the Zim Select side to play Derbyshire back in Zimbabwe.

Zahid Hossain: "@Levi and @Liam: I disagree. Raza has been below par at pretty much every position he has batted in T20I's (barring a single 50 at the top). " -- Perhaps, but in franchise and domestic cricketer, he's done well at the top. If memory serves, his 95 high score was made up the order, possibly even opening. Meanwhile, here's Mahmud to bowl out.

Al-Amin Hossain to Taylor, no run, very well bowled, a nippy yorker that shapes in to Taylor, dipping under his jab but through his legs and safely past the leg stump

George: "...oh and @ Outcast please refer to stats guru for the recent batting figures of the two batsmen domestically and internationally before you start comparing the two, in any case its not much about williams being captain for me I would have been happier with anyone but chibhabha. its not like we had run out of options"
