I have some very strong feelings, not just about this match, but the whole series. I will convey it (to the ICC) through proper channels.

It could have been a lot better day for Bangladesh after a brilliant start. We wanted to score lot more runs in the second innings obviously but it did not happen. Still, I must say there is a lot of improvement than the previous games.

We want to start well whether we bat first or bowl first and it helps things when you start well and that's what we have not done yet.

The reality is we are still ranked 10th and we are playing a team ranked second in the world who are playing at the top of their game and are at home.

This is an opportunity to get used to one-day cricket, back to facing the white ball and try to do better than what we did here in September when the ball moved a bit and we lost lot of wickets early.

We knew it before the series. But our focus at the moment is to win tomorrow's match and clinch the series. We have been playing good cricket so far and we just want to maintain the same standard.

If the pitch is going to deteriorate batting second then I don't think it is going to make too much of a difference. But in good conditions an extra batsman will certainly help chasing down the score.

It was our best batting day I can recall in my short time. My feeling is very pleased, I am very happy.

The number one ranked team is playing the number 10 ranked team. That's the reality.
