Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: After run out controversy, both teams look to seal series in decider

In both games, Bangladesh have won the toss and asked Pakistan to bat first.

IN the first game, Pakistan capitulated while batting first, getting all out for 114 with youngster Nahid Rana picking up five wickets.

Then, in the second game, thanks to Maaz Sadaqat, who was playing in only his second ODI for Pakistan, the visiting team were able to put up a decent score on board, even thought they lost momentum after the controversial run out of Salman Ali Agha.

(In fact, Pakistan lost seven wickets for 43 runs since the Agha wicket).

The second innings was interrupted by heavy rain and when the game resumed, Bangladesh had a curtailed target to chase.

Pakistan ended up winning the second game via the DLS Method.

This leaves today's game as the decider.

The Salman Ali Agha run out incident that re-ignited the conversation about 'Spirt of Cricket' happened in the second game at the Shere Bangla Stadium in Mirpur.

On the fourth ball of the 39th over, which was being bowled by Bangladesh captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz.

Mohd Rizwan defended the ball which rolled towards Agha at the non-striker’s end.

The ball hit Agha's pads and his bat and he tried to pick the ball up.

But Miraz, who moved sideways, got there first and picked the ball up and then threw it at the stumps at the non-striker’s end.

The Pakistan cricketer was shocked to see Miraz and the other Bangladesh fielders appealing for a run out.

The decision was sent upstairs to the third umpire and while he was taking a look, cameras caught a livid Agha throwing his gloves and bat on the ground in anger.

He had tried to pick the ball up to give the Bangladesh bowler.

The third umpire had given Agha run out and he trudged off in anger.

Cameras then caught the usually calm Agha gesticulating in anger and aiming his words at Bangladesh players who were celebrating the wicket.

At one point, Rizwan too had to intervene and hold back a Bangladesh player who tried to say something back to Agha as he was walking off.

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the third ODI between Pakistan and Bangladesh.

It will be a game that decides the winner of the series.

The first two games have seen plenty of drama already: a batting slump from Pakistan in the first game which led to them being all out for 114, a splendid wrecking ball of a spell from Bangladesh's Nahid Rana, then a whirlwind knock from Maaz Sadaqat in the second game, a controversial run out of Salman Ali Agha, and the controversy that ensued.

All of this had led to the prospect of an entertaining third game today.
