6.50 pm: Bangladesh have managed to get over the line as they mow down this significant chase of 319. They have achieved two unique feats here, the first being that this is their highest successful run-chase in an ODI, and the fact that this is the second-highest run-chase ever completed by a World Cup side, after Ireland's stunning victory over England in Bangalore in 2011.

Wardlaw to Shakib Al Hasan, FOUR, and it is a fairytale finish for Shakib, and Bangladesh, as he not only gets to his fifty with a slice over third man, but also secures Bangladesh's highest World Cup run-chase as well
