Hurray 3 gone.

Why are Cricinfo harping on about getting the bonus point in 24.5 overs? You'd think it would be irrelevant if it wasn't to decide who makes the final.

Bangladesh 25/3 (5.5/31 ov)


This partnership must be broken soon. Bring Mendis on!

That's what I thought earlier:

here's a thought. Maybe Bangladesh do need the bonus point! If Bangladesh and Zimbabwe end up both on 4 points, then it could be decided by who the winner of the match between BD and Zim was before it becomes a matter of net run rate.

CricInfo stressing Bangla needs to overhaul the target in 24.5 overs to avail bonus point. Confusing again.

3/44, this is stupid. Shakib is hammering the bowlers to all parts. Please Mahela, get the spinners on.

Mendis comes on. A reminder - Bangladesh need to reach the target in 24.5 ov to get the bonus point

They must have to get it then

So that's about 6.3 an over required.

I'd love another few wickets so we don't have to get to that stage though...

Shakib racing away with boundaries

Only 90 or so runs needed now, pretty comfortable win from here I would imagine.

Unless Mendis and Murali can pull off a miracle that is...
