Catch us for the chase in ten, with Shashank bringing you the Bangladesh innings.

Tatenda Mupinyu: "Zim always starting good but very Poor finishing. Hope we can find a finisher who will take the game to the end"

james: "Fair play to Nurul for not claiming the catch, good sportsmanship."

Camper: "This wicket looks very decent for batting..the ones Zimbabwe played Pakistan on were much trickier."

2.06pm Yet another Zimbabwe collapse then. What at one stage was 91 for 2 in the 11th over became 119 for 6 in the 15th. Once again - like in the previous matches on the tour - Zimbabwe were in the driver's seat when Chakabva and Madhevere looked aggressive before it all came crumbling down. Good innings by Myers too, but Mustafizur's three and Shamim's tremendous catch means Bangladesh have just 153 to chase.

Mustafizur Rahman to Muzarabani, OUT, knocked him over this time! Slower delivery on a good length on leg stump, and Muzarabani tried to hoick that toward deep midwicket again by taking his front leg out of the way. But he's beaten by the lack of pace, with the ball looking like having got stuck in the surface too

Mustafizur Rahman to Muzarabani, FOUR, heaved between long-on and deep midwicket now. Clears his front leg to this full ball in the slot on middle and leg, and slogs that away to raise the 150 for his side

Mustafizur Rahman to Muzarabani, FOUR, full-toss outside off, and finds the gap between point and short third man while trying to push at that away from his body

Mustafizur Rahman to Muzarabani, no run, well taken by the keeper! Another yorker length ball just outside off, as he tried to dab. Gets an outside edge as the keeper dives to his right to try and nab that. He falls while going for it, and indicates immediately to the umpire that it wasn't a clean catch. Good sportsmanship by Nurul there

Muzarabani is the last man. Mustafizur over the wicket

Mustafizur Rahman to Ngarava, OUT, yorked him! This would have been very difficult to negotiate even for a top-order batter, let alone a tailender. Much quicker on middle, and slanting in as well. Ngarava's back leg was stuck deep in the crease, as he cleared his front leg and there was no scope to get any bat on that

Mohammad Saifuddin to Ngarava, no run, full ball on off, as he tried to slam that away to the on side. But he can only get it back to the bowler

Ngarava is the new batter

Mohammad Saifuddin to Burl, OUT, a stunning catch by long-on! That looked unbelievable for a moment. Soft signal is out, as the umpire goes upstairs. The momentum meant the fielder was falling on the ground, and that is called a clear catch. The substitute fielder Shamim sprinted to his left, as Burl creamed this hit off a ball in the slot on off by stepping across and going low. That was hit very forcefully - much like they were heaved across the line in the third ODI - but an outstanding take means he can't get one away and has to depart while trying to push the scoring

Mohammad Saifuddin to Masakadza, 1 run, very full on middle, and angling into his pads. Flicked to deep square leg to get Burl back on strike

Mohammad Saifuddin to Masakadza, 2 runs, full ball on middle and leg. Clipped to long-on amidst calls of "two, two" from Burl

Masakadza is in, as Saifuddin comes over the wicket

Mohammad Saifuddin to Jongwe, OUT, bowled him! Goes for the yorker this time and though this was again bowled pretty wide of off, Jongwe went for a scoop over the keeper only to get it from the inside half of the bat and on to the leg stump. A useful cameo comes to an end

LM Jongwe b Mohammad Saifuddin 18 (18m 16b 2x4 0x6) SR: 112.50

Mohammad Saifuddin to Jongwe, FOUR, slashed wide of deep point. That was a fullish ball bowled very wide of off, and he reaches out to that to slam that to the left of the man in the deep

Mustafizur Rahman to Burl, 1 leg bye, change of pace again, and Burl can't get one away. Follows the batter, who makes room outside leg, and bowls a good length ball on leg coming back in. Trickles off his pad toward point

Mustafizur Rahman to Jongwe, 1 run, direct hit at the keeper's end this time, and the square leg umpire goes up to his TV colleague again. Replays show Burl was comfortably home though. Jongwe first tapped this slower ball on a full length on off to point and the batters took off. Safe in the end, as the ball even ricocheted to fine leg and Jongwe sought a second run

Mustafizur Rahman to Jongwe, no run, drags this good length ball on off to short third man while playing away from his body. Dot ball again
