West Indies 237 and 209; Bangladesh 232 and 217/6
| West Indies 1st innings | R | M | B | 4s | 6s | SR |
| DM Richards | c & b Mahmudullah | 69 | 82 | 80 | 11 | 2 | 86.25 |
| 22.3 and that's the end of that! flat and on the middle and off stump line, Richards pushes forward and drives it straight back to the bowler. Simple catch held and a neat innings from Richards comes to a tame end. 104/2
|
| OJ Phillips | c Tamim Iqbal b Shakib Al Hasan | 23 | 55 | 29 | 4 | 0 | 79.31 |
| 12.6 on the leg stump and Phillips goes for the lofted shot on the leg side as Tamim comes running in from deep midwicket and completes the catch. Shahadat will be the happiest person around 60/1
|
| TM Dowlin | c Tamim Iqbal b Shakib Al Hasan | 95 | 213 | 162 | 7 | 1 | 58.64 |
| 76.1 a brilliant catch cuts short a deserving century! Shakib tosses it up and Dowlin stays at the crease and tries to scoop it over cover, he almost gets enough elevation but an alert Tamim leaps up, cups it and falls backwards, had Dowling chipped down the track he would have cleared the infield 237/10
|
| RO Hinds | c & b Mahmudullah | 2 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 100.00 |
| 22.5 Mahmudullah strikes again! another caught and bowled! flat delivery outside the off stump and Hinds drives off the front-foot, fails to keep it down. Mahmudullah dives across to his right and takes a good low catch. 106/3
|
| FL Reifer* | lbw b Mahmudullah | 1 | 6 | 13 | 0 | 0 | 7.69 |
| 26.6 on the off stump and straightening. Hits Reifer flush on the pads and it's an easy decision for the umpire 114/4
|
| DE Bernard | c Mohammad Ashraful b Shakib Al Hasan | 17 | 49 | 56 | 0 | 0 | 30.35 |
| 43.2 very soft dismissal indeed! Shakib drops the ball a bit short outside off and Bernard tries to clear point but he ends up slicing it straight to Ashraful in that position, who cups it comfortably. Catching practice for Ash 157/5
|
| DJG Sammy | lbw b Enamul Haque | 1 | 1 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 20.00 |
| 44.1 that was quite adjacent, the ball lands bang on the middle stump line and straightens, Sammy prods forward tentatively, fails to get the bat behind the line and Asoka de Silva is convinced 158/6
|
| CAK Walton† | c Mohammad Ashraful b Enamul Haque | 2 | 2 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 40.00 |
| 44.6 rush of blood! Enamul flights it outside off and Walton gets to the pitch of the ball but tries to whip him against the turn, he tries to clear mid-on but messes it up and finds Ashraful who takes yet another sitter 160/7
|
| RA Austin | hit wicket b Shahadat Hossain | 19 | 88 | 91 | 3 | 0 | 20.87 |
| 70.3 something unusual had to happen to break the lull! Shahadat grunts as usual and Austin loses his concentration and footing as he tries to fend it to the on side, he goes too far back and ends up knocking the stumps with his back leg 219/8
|
| TL Best | b Enamul Haque | 0 | 5 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0.00 |
| 71.4 the furniture is disturbed again! Enamul fires a yorker on middle and off and Best plays all around it and the ball sneaks through the gate 220/9

| 7.4 the finger goes up immediately, the ball lands on middle and leg and straightens a bit, Richards is trapped on the sweep and Tony Hill gives him out, didn't look plumb but it may have clipped the leg stump 20/1

|
| TM Dowlin | lbw b Enamul Haque | 49 | 129 | 108 | 7 | 0 | 45.37 |
| 41.5 poor decision by the umpire Hill. Enamul pitches it outside off and is getting it to turn away. Dowlin comes forward and offers pad as the first line of defence and as is his wont, Rahim appeals. Hill does not waste time in giving the decision 110/5

|
| DJG Sammy | c Raqibul Hasan b Enamul Haque | 22 | 52 | 50 | 2 | 0 | 44.00 |
| 57.2 Sammy cannot comprehend what he has done, he eyes a boundary over midwicket and he shapes to pull it away but the ball perhaps wasn't short enough to pull, he goes through with the shot and fails to clear Raqibul at short midwicket who cups it over his head 166/6
|
| CAK Walton† | c Mahmudullah b Shakib Al Hasan | 1 | 2 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 20.00 |
| 58.2 that's a double breakthrough for Bangladesh, Shakib tosses it up outside off and invites the drive, Walton reaches out but the ball flies off the bottom of the bat and Mahmudullah cups it over his head at second slip, that additional slip has done the trick 167/7
|
| RA Austin | c Tamim Iqbal b Shahadat Hossain | 3 | 26 | 16 | 0 | 0 | 18.75 |

| 70.5 all over! wide delivery down the leg side, Best looks to sweep it fine and is caught down the leg side. Looks like the ball brushed the glove and it was a good take from Rahim who had to move across to his left. 209/10

| Tamim Iqbal | c †Walton b Sammy | 18 | 50 | 42 | 2 | 0 | 42.85 |
| 11.5 that's a double breakthrough for West Indies, Sammy bowls a very teasing line outside off, forces Tamim forward and he manages a very thin edge to Walton, everyone knew it and the umpire raised the finger immediately, very similar to his first innings dismissal 29/2
|
| Imrul Kayes | c Sammy b Roach | 8 | 46 | 28 | 1 | 0 | 28.57 |
| 10.3 Roach strikes! short of a good length delivery, angling away from the left-hander. Kayes pushes at it and ends up with a thick edge. For a second it looked as if the ball will go over the slip cordon but Sammy at second slip jumps high in the air and takes it cleanly. Brilliant catch. 27/1
|
| Junaid Siddique | c Reifer b Sammy | 5 | 34 | 22 | 0 | 0 | 22.72 |
| 17.4 West Indies breathe fire! Sammy pitches it up on middle and off, Junaid Siddique plays down the wrong line and gets a thick leading edge which travels low to Reifer at first slip, he falls to his right and cups it comfortably, Bangladesh are in need of urgent repair work here 49/3
|
| Raqibul Hasan | c & b Sammy | 65 | 165 | 99 | 8 | 1 | 65.65 |
| 45.6 Raqibul fails to see his team through but he's done his job! He leans forward to drive straight but he ends up spooning it back to Sammy who juggles and takes the catch in the second attempt 173/5
|
| Mohammad Ashraful | c †Walton b Sammy | 3 | 17 | 11 | 0 | 0 | 27.27 |
| 21.4 Sammy is the toast of the town, he lands it on the corridor of uncertainty outside off, Ashraful is totally at sea and he doesn't know whether to play or leave it, the ball deviates as it passes him and Walton goes up in arms immediately, umpire Hill shakes his head, Ashraful doesn't even look at the umpire and Sammy slips during his celebrations. What on earth was Sammy trying to do? Only he knows, anyway he's taken the wicket and his ankle's safe 67/4

| 53.4 almost an action replay of raqibul's dismissal, Rahim spoons a full delivery back to the bowler and Sammy takes it in the second attempt, he takes five, kisses the ball and acknowledges the cheers from the very sparse crowd 201/6

| 11.5 to Tamim Iqbal, that's a double breakthrough for West Indies, Sammy bowls a very teasing line outside off, forces Tamim forward and he manages a very thin edge to Walton, everyone knew it and the umpire raised the finger immediately, very similar to his first innings dismissal 29/2
17.4 to Junaid Siddique, West Indies breathe fire! Sammy pitches it up on middle and off, Junaid Siddique plays down the wrong line and gets a thick leading edge which travels low to Reifer at first slip, he falls to his right and cups it comfortably, Bangladesh are in need of urgent repair work here 49/3
21.4 to Mohammad Ashraful, Sammy is the toast of the town, he lands it on the corridor of uncertainty outside off, Ashraful is totally at sea and he doesn't know whether to play or leave it, the ball deviates as it passes him and Walton goes up in arms immediately, umpire Hill shakes his head, Ashraful doesn't even look at the umpire and Sammy slips during his celebrations. What on earth was Sammy trying to do? Only he knows, anyway he's taken the wicket and his ankle's safe 67/4
45.6 to Raqibul Hasan, Raqibul fails to see his team through but he's done his job! He leans forward to drive straight but he ends up spooning it back to Sammy who juggles and takes the catch in the second attempt 173/5
53.4 to Mushfiqur Rahim, almost an action replay of raqibul's dismissal, Rahim spoons a full delivery back to the bowler and Sammy takes it in the second attempt, he takes five, kisses the ball and acknowledges the cheers from the very sparse crowd 201/6
