<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->37.3  Mohammad Rafique to Nel, OUT, Classical left-arm spinner dismissal that. Flight and loop, unlike the quicker ones that preceeded it. Nel tries to push it back again but is beaten by the flight and only manages to tamely pop it back to the bowler. Rafique is waiting and plucks off a good low catch, throws the ball up in celebration and is mobbed by his team-mates. Rafique da, that old warhorse, knows a thing or two about this game, it seems

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->46.1  Abdur Razzak to Langeveldt, OUT, And then they were one. Plumb. Landed on the middle stump line, went straight on, the bat came outside the line and the ball thudded into the back pad. In front of middle. Bangladesh inch closer to a famous win.

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->46.4  Abdur Razzak to Ntini, no run, huge shout for a catch. Ntini pushes at a delivery which breaks away sharply and Rahim takes it and goes up in appeal. Not sure whether he got a nick there....


47.2  Mashrafe Mortaza to Ntini, FOUR, Hello? FIrst four in quite some time. Overpitched outside offstump and Ntini drills it through extra cover
47.3  Mashrafe Mortaza to Ntini, 1 run, low full-toss, outside off stump, Ntini gets off the strike with a drive to long off
47.4  Mashrafe Mortaza to Gibbs, SIX, That's a monster hit. Low full-toss, on the middle and off stump line, swung over deep midwicket.


48.4  Abdur Razzak to Ntini, OUT, Another famous win for Bangladesh. The players hug each other. This is definitely bigger than the win against India. SA are ranked no 1. Tossed-up on the stumps, Ntini tries to flick it to the on side, gets a leading edge which balloons over cover. Mortaza runs back and takes it. The players mob each other. Stumps are grabbed as souvenirs. The show has just begun for Bangladesh. The celebrations will go long in the night in Dhaka and other parts of Bangladesh. They have a devoted contigent who live outside the country. This will be a special moment to all of them.
