    Target 114

    Win predictor and Shem predictor finally on the same page.

  2. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    They have survived Nortje, he has just bowled regularly over 90mph.

  3. Ban 87-4

    Target 114

    Nothing in the last for Nortje, who walks away shaking his head. He's been excellent, though. 2-17 from his four. Bangladesh favourites now?

  4. Ban 86-4

    Target 114

    I keep coming back to that Jansen drop of Mahmudullah, who is playing the perfect foil to Hridoy. Bangladesh will just be pleased to get through this Nortje over unscathed.

  5. Ban 84-4

    Target 114

    Nortje is back for his last over. Huge moment.

  6. Ban 83-4

    Target 114

    Win predictor has got South Africa ahead. Shem predictor has, for the first time, got Bangladesh ahead. We don't get on well.

  7. Ban 80-4

    Target 114

    Shot! Hridoy drives Jansen straight, just past the non-striker's stumps for four. Bangladesh have gained the momentum in the past two overs.

  8. Prakash Wakankar
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Bangladesh are 39 runs away from history - they have never beaten South Africa in an international tournament.

    It's turning out to be a thriller.

  9. Ban 75-4

    Target 114

    Remember, Bangladesh have never beaten South Africa in a T20.

    'Out of this world from Towhid Hridoyyyyyy!' the PA announcer has just roared with excitement after that six from the Banglaesh batter.

    The Bangladesh fans are on their feet waving their flags - are they about to see something special? They have not beaten South Africa in eight previous attempts in T20 internationals.

  11. Ban 75-4

    Target 114

    Calling it now. This is going to the wire.

  12. Prakash Wakankar
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    He's hit that very well indeed. Towhid Hridoy take a bow. He has got the stadium on their feet. Bangladesh have made a very important step forward.

  13. 6 runs

    Ban 74-4

    Target 114

    They need a few more of these. Hridoy gets low to belt the returning spin of Keshav Maharaj for six.

  14. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Sounds

    Bangladesh are keeping themselves in the game however, I still think South Africa are in the driving seat.

  15. Ban 68-4

    Target 114

    Bangladesh need 46 from seven overs. More than a run a ball. Nortje has one over to go, which is a precious resource for South Africa.

  16. Ban 66-4

    Target 114

    Trust the worm. It never lets you down.

    A healthy crowd of 22,658 here for this one. Bangladesh fans have come out in their numbers in New York.

  18. dropped catch

    Mahmudullah dropped on 6

    Ban 64-4

    Whoosh!

    93.6mph from Anrich Nortje. Is Mahmudullah playing that, or trying to get out of the way? Either way, it's through the hands of Marco Jansen at slip and away for four.

    The question is the fall of wickets. If Bangladesh can keep wickets in hand the total is very gettable, but losing one every couple of overs would cost them the game.

  20. Ban 59-4

    Target 114

    A rare error from Nortje, but a good reply. A no-ball brings a free hit, but a slower ball only goes for a single.
