Need six off 18 balls
Last roll of the dice for Bangladesh. Mustafizur Rahman returns to the attack.
Need six off 19 balls
Excellent from Malan who tickles a reverse sweep fine for four.
It's down to within one hit now.
Need 10 off 21 balls
England's 200 comes up as Rashid digs out another single.
The tourists are nearly there.
Need 12 off 24 balls
Great over from England, seven runs from it. And Malan keeps the strike with a single at the end.
Eng 197-7
What a superb knock from Dawid Malan, single-handedly dragging England towards victory. He brings up a magnificent century, clipping Taskin through the leg side for four.
Six fours, four sixes, 135 deliveries.
Need 17 off 28 balls
Single again. Rashid digs out a yorker.
Need 18 off 29 balls
Malan pulls Taskin for a single. He's now sitting on 98. Bangladesh have five balls at Rashid.
Need 19 off 30 balls
Two blocks from Rashid and that's the over.
England should, should, have this in the bag.
Need 19 off 32 balls
Another leg-side single from Malan. On to 97 off 132 now.
Need 20 off 33 balls
Single from Rashid. Malan then swings and misses a slower ball from Mustafizur.
Need 21 off 35 balls
Malan's on to 96 with a single off his hip.
Will Jacks is the only other England player to score more than 20. He was out for 26.
Mustafizur Rahman has ball in hand for Bangladesh.

Jim. I. Am: Is Malan batting on a different track to everyone else?
Need 22 off 36 balls
Not a bad shout at all Jack, although his 95 off 129 might be a bit too pedestrian.

Jack: It’s not crazy to say that Malan could open in our Test side right?
Need 23 off 38 balls
Two more runs with a dab behind square. Malan's on to 94.
Need 25 off 41 balls
Malan's back on strike as Rashid clips a single off Shakib Al Hasan.

Re: Jarleth at 13:11 - I would go for Malan to open with Bairstow instead of Roy. He has pretty much been opening anyway and that keeps LH/RH. Then Root, Brook, Buttler...

Need 26 off 42 balls
Malan's on to 92 now as he blocks Taijul's final delivery. Some performance so far.
