Hossein stars as Bandgladesh edge NZ

Rubel Hossain bowled Bangladesh to a thrilling three-run victory over New Zealand in the fifth one-day international to complete a memorable 4-0 series win.

Having already surrendered the series, the Black Caps looked like they had done enough to pick up a consolation victory after dismissing the hosts for 174 at the Shere-e-Bangla Stadium.
But canny bowling, allied to some dismal top-order batting, put the result in the balance before Rubel closed out the win with just three balls remaining.
Bangladesh opener Imrul Kayes hit 34, including two sixes and three fours, but with Kyle Mills and Daniel Vettori proving difficult to control he frequently lost partners.
Vettori pinned Imrul leg before to make it 77 for four, with captain Shakib Al Hasan taking the baton to top score with 36.
All-rounder Grant Elliott accounted for him and also picked up the dangerous Mushfiqur Rahim for 29, while Mills and Vettori each finished with three wickets.
Rubel was last man out, bowled by Mills, with 5.4 overs still remaining.
Rubel removed both openers, Brendon McCullum and Jesse Ryder, in the second over and BJ Watling, Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor followed in quick succession to leave New Zealand 20 for five.
The dependable Vettori then put on 86 for the sixth wicket in an obdurate stand with Elliott but Shakib dismissed his opposite number to put Bangladesh back in contention and when Elliott followed off the bowling of Suhrawadi Shuvo, the Black Caps looked in trouble.
Mills bludgeoned two sixes and two boundaries in a counter-attacking 33 but with four still needed to win the match from as many balls, Rubel ripped out his leg stump to end the resistance.
