It's clear what the message was at the break!
Did Bangladesh decide to press the accelerator at drinks?
Down the pitch comes Soumya to whack a four.
We're back under way with Akeal Hosein bowling his left-arm spin.
88 runs from 60 balls are needed.

We're all hoping for a close finish. We haven't had many so far.
Kieron Pollard wandered on for a chat during that drinks break but he's off again now. He's clearly injured in some way.

Bangladesh don't have the power of Nicholas Pooran or Jason Holder in their lower order. They needed to do more in the powerplay.
But two good overs from here, they'll feel like they're back on top.
Need 88 runs from 60 balls
We're halfway through.
The required rate has crept up towards nine. That won't be easy.

Dwayne Bravo has been bowling a lot of slower balls so Liton Das knows he can come down the pitch and turn it into a full toss. It's a beautiful shot.
It doesn't take much to get this Bangladesh-supporting crowd out of their seats so this glorious cover drive from Liton Das was always going to do so. Very, very good.
There's a risky single a ball later.
Looking at the replays you can replace 'risky' with 'crazy'. It would have been well out.

Dot balls are almost as precious as a wicket here. If you bowl three dots in a row, it makes the batters nervous and something almost always happens.
Target 143
Akeal Hosein, metaphorical screwdriver in hand, twists and tightens the equation further. Just the three from the over.
Dwayne Bravo is coming on. He'll be good on this pitch which is as stodgy as one of my baking efforts.
You need to have Jason Holder in every West Indies team, don't you?

Soumya Sarkar loves the pull shot, he won't mind Russell banging it in there. That one actually bounced nicely for him, which we haven't seen much.
Target 143
Shot! Soumya Sarkar hits the shot of the innings so far - a crack of a pull off the pace of Andre Russell. It almost went for six but bounced four or five inches before the boundary sponge.
That has woken the crowd up.

Six an over is perfect for Bangladesh at this stage. They can just rotate the strike and limit the dot balls, but West Indies will be trying to squeeze.
Here's how West Indies removed Shakib Al Hasan...
Need 109 runs from 78 balls
West Indies turn to spin for the first time in the form of left-arm tweaker Akeal Hosein. It's a tidy start for him as Bangladesh nudge five singles. That might do for now but the boundaries will have to come at some stage.

It's going to be a nail-biter!
Target 143
Soumya Sarkar is out at number for. Soumya was the batter who Jofra Archer bowled in the 2019 World Cup and the ball went for six.
The scores are identical at the end of the powerplay.

Holder is visibly delighted with that one.
