R Hossain to R Jadeja, OUT! Snickometer detects a massive spike and Jadeja has to walk back. Needless from him. Do Bangladesh still have a sniff? It is all happening in Dubai. A ball before, Jaddu could have been run out. Next ball, he is gone. A length ball, in line of the stumps, moving away, Jadeja backs away slightly and looks to go through the off side. Seems to have missed it but Rahim behind has heard something. He immediately runs down towards the umpire in celebration and furiously signals for the review when the wicket is not given. And dear me - Snickometer proves him right!

Drama! Bangladesh look extremely confident. They reckon Jadeja has nicked it behind. Has he? The review has been taken by the fielding side.

R Hossain to R Jadeja, Quick single. Back of a length delivery on off, Jadeja punches it down towards mid off and rushes across to the other end. His partner is ball-watching initially and when he turns, Jadeja was almost there, a near-collision. They avoid that and complete the run as the fielder misses his shy at the non-striker's end. More to it. No one has backed up the throw. An extra run stolen as well. The direct hit would have consumed Jadeja, the replays show.

M Rahman to B Kumar, FOUR! Welcome runs for India! Rahman errs in his line and bowls it down the leg side. Bhuvneshwar does well to neatly deflect it off his pads to the fine leg fence. All the good work done in this over by the Fizz has gone down the drain. 13 needed off 18 now.

M Rahman to R Jadeja, Slower delivery this time, Jadeja waits and glides it down to third man for a run. 17 off 21, uff...this is close.

M Rahman to R Jadeja, Dot ball to begin the spell. On a length around off, Jadeja taps it off his back foot to point.

00:58 (IST) Sep 29

Mustafizur Rahman is back on. He bowled a great spell against Afghanistan at the death to pull off a win. Can he do something similar tonight in the all-important finale?

R Hossain to R Jadeja, Direct hit was needed, probably! A length ball on off, Jadeja punches it straight to mid off and takes the fielder on. He hares across to the other end as the fielder misses his shy at the bowler's end. An 8-run over has brought the equation to 18 from 24 balls.

R Hossain to R Jadeja, Back of a length delivery on middle, Jadeja pushes it back from the crease. The bowler makes a half stop and parries it on the off side. RJ looks for a run but then returns after seeing the mid off fielder charge towards the ball.

R Hossain to B Kumar, SIX! Ho! Ho! Ho! Pressure was building and Kumar has nailed his shot to release some of it, if not all. He attempted a similar one on the first ball but failed to connect then. Not this time. As soon as he gets one in his half, he makes room and lofts it nonchalantly over long off for a maximum. 20 needed off 27 balls.

R Hossain to B Kumar, A bouncer around off, Kumar allows it through. Thought it will be called a wide for height but nothing from the square leg umpire.

R Hossain to B Kumar, Idea was right but not the execution. Full and around off, Kumar goes back and tries to hit it down the ground. Fails to middle it well. Mid on and mid off are up in the circle and that's why Bhuvi attempted that shot.

00:52 (IST) Sep 29
India 197/5 in 45 overs, need 26 off 30 balls. Jadeja 19* & Bhuvi 10*
00:52 (IST) Sep 29

Rubel Hossain returns. 26 needed off 30 balls. Make or break moment, this.
