FOUR! Nikhil Chaudhary is greeted with a boundary on this first ball! Short and wide, Towhid Hridoy picks it well and cuts it in the gap through backward point for a boundary.

Too full, on off, Towhid Hridoy blocks it back to the bowler.

Beaten! Full and outside off, Towhid Hridoy looks to cut it but misses.

Fired in, on leg, Towhid Hridoy tucks it to mid-wicket for a single.

Quicker, outside off, Shamim Hossain taps it to extra cover for a single.

Too full, on off, Towhid Hridoy digs it back to the bowler. The ball parries off Nikhil Chaudhary's hand and rolls towards mid off. They cross.

A touch short, on middle. Towhid Hridoy short-arm pulls it to deep backward square leg for a single.

 FOUR! Precious boundary! Drops it short on leg, Shamim Hossain plants the back knee into the pitch and pulls it to split the deep fine leg and deep mid-wicket fielders for a boundary.

Fired onto the pads, full in length. Shamim goes for a sweep, but gets a top edge to the right of the keeper for a single.

A slider on middle, Hridoy flicks the full ball to short mid-wicket.

 FOUR! PUNISHED! Some venom in that shot from Hridoy. A lot fuller and around off. Towhid Hridoy shuffles to the leg side and smashes it up and over the cover fielder, beating long off to his left for a cracking boundary. 44 needed from 25 balls. 150 up for Bangladesh!

A shocking review from Australia. Completely out of desperation. Zampa goes full and it is the conventional leg break in front of the stumps. Towhid Hridoy plants the front leg to the pitch of the ball and looks to flick but seems to have gotten an inside edge onto the pads. A slight appeal for LBW, but the finger stays down. Marsh and Inglis both converge to have a chat with the bowler and the skipper opts for a review. An UltraEdge confirms a big deflection. Australia burn a review. But another fine over from an Aussie pov.

The back-of-the-hand slower one, full on middle. Shamim Hossain bunts it down the pitch.

Another off-pace delivery, short and outside off. Shamim Hossain hangs back and stabs it to the backward point fielder. Smart bowling, this from Ellis. 44 needed off 22 balls.

 OUT! TAKEN! Hardie makes a tough catch look easy and Ellis gets the reward for unleashing his bag of tricks. He bowls a length-delivery, on the leg stump line. Shamim Hossain crouches a bit to play the pull shot, but does not get enough room to free his arms and complete the follow-through. Mistimes it as the bat twists at the point of contact, and airs it to the right of deep square leg. Aaron Hardie covers a good ground to his right and takes a fine running catch. Bangladesh are 153/5, still needing 44 runs from 21 balls.

In and around off, on a length. Punched off the back foot to cover.

Stump-to-stump line, a touch fuller in length. Abdul Saqlain forces it down to long on for a single.

At pace, full and around off. Towhid Hridoy stabs the ball to the right of the bowler. Ellis moves to his right to stop it, but the ball evades him for a single. What a fantastic over. Just 2 runs and a wicket from it. Bangladesh need 42 runs from 18 balls.

Flatter and fuller, following the batter on the leg stump line. Towhid Hridoy shuffles outside leg, sits down to sweep, but top edges it straight onto his helmet grill before the ball rolls to square leg. They look for a single, but there is none on offer. Hridoy will go through a mandatory concussion check.

Dishes out a googly, full on leg. Towhid Hridoy sits across and sweeps it to deep backward square leg for a single. Bowling smartly to his field, is Zampa. 41 needed from 16 now.

Slows it up, full in length, just around off and it holds its line. Abdul Saqlain swings hard to go downtown, but inside edges it through his legs to short fine leg. Just a single.

Pitched fuller and around off. Towhid Hridoy scuffs the slog sweep off the inside half of the bat to long on for a single. He looks for the second, but aborts to challenge David's arm.

 FOUR! Fine shot! A much-needed one for the hosts. Overpitched by Zampa with a generous flight on offer, on off. Abdul Saqlain gets under it nicely and carves it powerfully, to the left of Zamp and the ball beats the long off fielder to his right before trickling into the fence. 35 needed form 13 balls.

Much fuller, outside off. Abdul Saqlain drags it across from the inner portion of the bat to long on for a single only. The Aussies won't mind these singles at this stage. 34 needed off the last 2 overs now.

Swing and a miss! Ellis hones it in the channel, on a fuller length. Abdul Saqlain swooshes hard at it, looking to smash it down the ground, but misses.

And again! Wide outside off, on a fractionally fuller length. Abdul Saqlain stays put and swings aimlessly, only to get beaten on the outside edge. This is top-drawer bowling by Ellis. 

 FOUR! Up and over and it beats the fielder! Important runs for the hosts. Ellis goes for the yorker, but doesn't quite land it where he wants. It is in the slot, on off. Abdul Saqlain brings his bottom hand to play and blasts it over mid off for a boundary. They need 30 runs from 9 balls.

Good response! Off cutter, dug well short, outside off. Abdul Saqlain is months early into the pull shot and gets beaten all ends up by the lack of pace.

Slightly back of a length, outside off. Abdul Saqlain drags it off the inner half to long on for just a single. 29 runs needed from 7 balls. Something has to give in the last ball. Can Hridoy go big in the final delivery of this penultimate over?

SIX! He does and that's a monster of a hit! On a back of a length, just outside off at 125.6 kph. Towhid Hridoy picks the length in a trice and nails the pull shot behind deep square leg for a six.

WIDE! Completely off the radar. Hardie goes wayward and spills it beyond the tramline. Abdul lets it pass. 22 needed now from 6 balls.

A lot fuller, outside off. Abdul Saqlain reaches out, gets his bat under the ball and chips it on the bounce to long off. Abdul is ready for the second, but Hridoy decides to keep the strike.

 Beaten by pace! Hard length, far outside off, with a decent lift off the track. Towhid Hridoy reaches out to cut it away, but gets off-balanced and is beaten by the pace and bouce. The ball goes over his angled bat.

Wide yorker, outside off. Towhid Hridoy carves it through cover. Nikhil Chaudhary is swift to his right from deep point to cut it off and keep the batter down to a couple of runs only. 19 needed off 3 balls. Bangladesh are running out of deliveries.

WIDE! A bit of nerves there. He tries to keep it away from the hitting arc, but errs it miles outside off, breaching the tramline. Hridoy swings but misses. Wide given.

 SIX! Hang on! It's not over yet. Cross-seam delivery, outside off, on a fuller length. Towhid Hridoy gets the ball in his slot and slices it powerfully over deep extra cover for a six. 12 needed from 2 balls.

 FOUR! Off the top edge! But that should do it for the Aussies. Back of a length, outside off. Towhid Hridoy swings with all his might to smoke it out of the park, but gets a thick top edge behind, over the keeper's head for a boundary. 8 runs needed from the final ball.

OUT! TAKEN EASILY! That's that. Joy for Australia. Heartbreak for Bangladesh as they could see the finish line, but could not cross it in the end. Australia win by 7 runs. Hardie bowls a slower one, full and around off. Towhid Hridoy is beaten by the lack of pace and mistimes the lofted shot off the toe end towards long on. Tim David keeps his calm, moves a bit to his right and takes a simple catch. Marsh lets out a roar of relief as Hardie is engulfed by his teammates, absolutely over the moon. Australia win the 3-match T20I series, taking the lead by 2-0.
