6.40pm: That's that from us. A landmark day in the World Cup - Bangladesh completed a stunning chase, Shakib hit a second consecutive hundred - and we had no rain interruptions! On that happy note, this is Saurabh Somani, signing off on behalf of Debayan and Ranjith. Come back tomorrow for more World Cup action.
Mashrafe Mortaza: "(on why he went off) Hamstring was a bit tight but we had enough bowlers to cover. The turning point was Mustafizur getting those two wickets. (On Shakib) He has delivered for the team, every match he has come and done something which is really exceptional. Hopefully others will join him. Last two matches Mushfiqur batted well, today Liton batted brilliantly. Normally he bats at the top, it was a tough ask to bat at 5, but he coped with that and delivered."
Jason Holder: Bit of both. I thought we were about 40-50 short, the wicket played well throughout. We could have been more discipline with the ball and we also let ourselves down in the field. It was just a situation where we never got momentum going as we should. If you score 320, you have to try really hard to defend. We didn't get wickets and also let some chances slip. No excuses, we should have been more disciplined. Having said that, every game is a final and we have to pull ourselves up.
List of highest targets successfully chased down by Bangladesh here.
6.25pm: Shakib Al Hasan is the Man of the Match "It feels great. To stay at the wicket till the end was the most satisfying. I've been working on my batting and it's paying off. (On wanting to bat at 3) I know if I bat at 3 I'll get more opportunities, more time to bat. What happens sometimes if I bat at 5, is I'll come in at the 30th over or 40th over, which I felt is not ideal for me. I'm working on my bowling too. At this moment I'm doing okay but I can certainly get better. (on supporters) They have been fantastic throughout this World Cup, I hope they keep on supporting us."
Archit Agarwal: "This is one of the best batting displays I have seen. Its right up there with VK leading 320-odd chase in 38 overs against SL, SA chasing 434. It truly seems like Bangladesh is coming of age here, a force to be reckoned with"
Pashin Goyal : "This chase reminded me of the thriller between New Zealand and Bangladesh in the 2017 champions trophy where it was Shakib with Mahmudullah that finished it off despite a bad start" - that was a superb game too, in Cardiff. They were five down for 33 I think and New Zealand were hooping the ball in the initial overs. Possibly a better chase than this one because it came from such a tough position.
6.20pm: You would have thought that this would be a competitive chase, even perhaps that West Indies had the marginal edge at half-time. Bangladesh have made a mockery of that. Shakib Al Hasan was the master of the game, and Liton Das was superb as well. Not to forget Tamim's steadying hand and Soumya's jump-start to the innings. The bowlers too did very well to keep West Indies to 321 instead of the 360 they might have threatened to score.
Rishiraj Kamath: "This chase reminds me of India's chase against Sri Lanka in the 2012 CB series where they hit 320 odd in 38 overs. Windies' WC campaign is down the WC." - incidentally that was also driven by their No.3. One Mr Virat Kohli, who played the first of his ODI masterpieces
Afrain: "Everyone is busy praising Shakib but what an innings Liton is playing! First match, tons of pressure but still managed to nail it! "
Salman Khan: "300 crossed in 40 overs. What it would be if they could bat another 10 overs! Today is the day for Bangladeshi batsmen. "
