"He has been working very hard with us, and has given no indication that he's not enjoying himself here. I don't want to talk too much about his thoughts.

It's purely for him to decide." Habibul Bashar on coach Dav Whatmore who has been linked with the India hotseat.

9.1 Ntini to Javed Omar, no run, length-delivery, angling in towards the middle, pushed to the on side

9.2 Ntini to Javed Omar, no run, loud shout for lbw. From wide of the crease, Ntini hurled in a full and at the stumps. Omar is rapped on the pad, in front of middle stump. It looked pretty close. It would have leg stump but Billy Doctrove is not convinced.

9.3 Ntini to Javed Omar, 1 run

9.4 Ntini to Tamim Iqbal, 1 run, landed outside leg stump, comes in a touch but it's still outside leg and flicked away to fine leg.

"Well bowled Polly," screams Boucher.

Lots of chattering going on. Ntini is screaming, Boucher is shouting and a few more are muttering. They want a wicket.

11.5 Nel to Javed Omar, no run, They will have to wait. Omar continues to stick adhesively to the crease. Stands up tall to defend a short of length delivery on the middle stump line.

11.6 Nel to Javed Omar, no run, Outside off, full in length and Omar icily leaves it well alone.

End of over 12 (3 runs) - Bangladesh 40/0 (RR: 3.33)

12.1 Pollock to Tamim Iqbal, no run, length-delivery, around off stump, slashed on the up, to mid-off.

12.2 Pollock to Tamim Iqbal, 1 run, Dropped by Boucher. It landed on a length, slanted away from Tamim who tries to square-drive on the up, nicks it to Boucher. In and out of his gloves. He is standing up to the stumps and that's the risk you take while doing so. Some times it sticks, sometimes it slips.

Short of length and outside off, Omar's eyes lit up at the width, has a slash but it flashes fast but straight to Smith at Gully.Omar falls after a patient knock. He has laid the platform. Can the rest do something with it? Time will tell.

Bashar walks in. He has promoted himself.

13.5 Nel to Habibul Bashar, no run, beaten by the pace. Short of lenght, cuts in and thuds into the inner thigh and bounds away to first slip. Boucher didn't get his bat down. Hmm..

13.6 Nel to Habibul Bashar, no run, snorter. Kicks up from short of length, rears up at the throat like cobra, Bashar is surprised but does well to take the bottom-hand out of the handle, arches back to fend it away. Welcome to the crease Mr Bashar.

14.2 Langeveldt to Tamim Iqbal, FOUR, Wow. Short and outside off stump, Tamim flat-bats it, ala Gilchrist, over extra cover. A lady in the crowd certainly loved it. She cradles a baby doll.

Like how Bebeto and Romario used to do in the football World Cup.

14.3 Langeveldt to Tamim Iqbal, 1 run, full and straight, again Tamim tries to thrash it, the bat-face shut a bit and the ball rolls to the left of mid-off
