Bangladesh 248 and 253 for 8 (Sabbir 59*, Taijul 11*) need another 33 runs to beat England 293 and 240 (Stokes 85, Bairstow 47, Shakib 5-85) Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsBangladeshs hopes of securing their greatest Test victory were in the hands of their debutant batsman, Sabbir Rahman, and his final two tail-end partners, after an enthralling fourth day at Chittagong finished with three of the four results possible, and history on the cards for Test crickets youngest nation.The situation at stumps, after a sensational final session played out in front of a fervent, expectant and ever-growing crowd, was simple. Bangladesh, chasing 286 for victory, were 33 runs short with two wickets remaining and Sabbir standing tall on 59 not out from 93 balls - a supremely gutsy performance from a man who utilised his experience in ODI and T20 cricket to break down the chase into calm and manageable chunks.Alongside him at the close was the redoubtable figure of Taijul Islam, whom Sabbir trusted with the strike as he accepted every single on offer from a deep-set field, and who subverted all conventional tactics in the final over of the days play by swiping Gareth Batty for two ambitious lofted strokes down the ground, to reach the close unbeaten on 11 in a ninth-wicket stand of 15.England, by that stage, had earned the right to be considered favourites once again, having cracked the crucial partnership of the innings - Sabbirs 87-run stand for the sixth wicket with Mushfiqur Rahim - before dispatching two more of Bangladeshs debutants, Mehedi Hasan and Kamrul Islam Rabbi, with minimum fuss.But, with a notable lack of faith in his trio of spinners (notwithstanding a hard-earned three-wicket haul for Batty) Alastair Cook telegraphed his teams anxiety throughout a gripping final session. The new ball, due in two overs time and such a key weapon throughout this contest, may well be ignored if Ben Stokes and his fellow seamers can locate the sort of reverse swing that derailed Bangladeshs first innings when play resumes on the final morning.It was a far cry from Englands ambition at the very top of the innings. After being bowled out for 240 in the first 20 minutes of the day, England had made their intentions plain from the outset by handing the new ball to two spinners, Batty and Moeen, for the first time since the Lords Test against South Africa in 2008.Both men bowled some unplayable deliveries, but Bangladeshs attitude was established in a skilful and aggressive 43 from Imrul Kayes, who found a means to counterattack in style, sweeping with intent to disrupt their lengths and pick off his boundaries behind square, while playing with confidence off the back foot in between whiles.Tapping into their recent success in one-day run-chases, Bangladesh were happy to live dangerously in the opening overs - Tamim in particular twice came close to holing out - but their positive mindset sowed some early seeds of doubt in Cooks mind, as he shed a few close catchers to patrol his boundaries. Nevertheless, Englands patient approach slowly reaped its rewards, and after removing Tamim and Kayes before lunch - the latter caught on the sweep as he attacked Adil Rashid out of the rough - Batty returned with a spring in his step and an extra zip through his action, to grab two lbws in eight balls and put England firmly in command at 108 for 4.Bangladeshs middle-order, however, contains two of their toughest nuts in Mushfiqur and Shakib Al Hasan, and for the best part of an hour, the pair pushed back against the tide. Mushfiqur produced yet another unflustered display of patience, skill and experience - he has, after all, been playing Test cricket for longer even than Cook, Englands newly crowned most-capped cricketer - while Shakib seemed eager to atone for his wasteful dismissal in the first innings. A pair of fizzing boundaries off Rashid lifted the spirits of the crowd - a slammed drive through mid-off and a vast bottom-handed swipe over long-on for six - but, on 24, he received the best ball of the innings to date, a perfect ripping offbreak from Moeen that he couldnt help but nick to the keeper.Enter Sabbir, with the chase in the balance at 140 for 5. His performance featured two distinct tempos - firstly, when he arrived at the crease in the 41st over, Sabbirs one-day instincts were to go for his shots, and with two big sixes and a four in his first 25 runs before tea, he gave a nervous crowd plenty reasons to cheer as their numbers and belief mounted with every stroke.After tea, however, he was sufficiently confident to retreat back into his shell without losing any of his intent. England resumed the final session with 107 runs to defend and, with the ball exactly 50 overs old, Cooks instinct was to revert to the familiarity of his seamers - Stokes from one end, Chris Woakes from the other - with Rashids legspin thrown into the equation after half an hour of attrition in a bid to buy a breakthrough.Stuart Broad, who had bowled a total of four overs in the first two sessions, joined the fray with a tight angled line into the off stump. But with the reverse-swing of the first innings proving hard to replicate, Mushfiqur and Sabbir had no reason to rush their approach. With caution on the front foot and an eye for the occasional flick off the pads, the pair ground down the requirement on a ball-by-ball basis, embracing the need to take the match into the fifth day if required, in spite of the mounting excitement in the stands.On 34, Sabbir had the moment of good fortune that most players need in such tense scenarios, when Jonny Bairstow - whose glovework had been impressive for much of the match - failed to gather a thin leg-side tickle as Broad strayed onto the pads. It was a tough opportunity, but the sort that needed to be taken, and Englands frustrations mounted after the drinks break when Broads second over of the restart was taken for two boundaries, Bangladeshs first for 19 overs. A short ball was gleefully pounded in front of square by Mushfiqur, before Broad fizzed a yorker out of the footholes and away for four byes.Cook had no option but to revert back to his spinners, and the situation looked ominous when Battys second delivery was paddle-swept through fine leg for four by Sabbir. But, before the over was out, Batty had made the critical breakthrough, bursting a leaping offbreak through the top of the pitch and into Mushfiqurs glove, for Ballance to snaffle at leg slip.The breakthrough had come with 59 runs still required, but if Sabbir had any doubts about the task now in his hands alone, he banished them in style, drilling Batty out of the rough through long-off to bring up his maiden half-century from 76 balls.But Sabbir couldnt bat at both ends at once, and two of his fellow debutants came and went with minimal resistance. Mehedi was pinned on the crease by a nipbacker from Broad for 1, before Rabbi endured a three-ball stay that was as brief as it was eventful - he might have been run out and bowled in the space of two deliveries, before Broad delivered him a pair on debut courtesy of another important grab from Ballance at short leg.With the light fading and 48 runs the requirement, Sabbir declined the temptation to farm the strike and regularly helped himself to a single off the first ball to expose his partner, Taijul. The tactic kept England frustrated to the close, with Broad completing a valiant nine-over spell that went for 12 runs in total, although Taijul was lucky to survive on 3 when a thick edge from Batty fizzed through the cordon at a catchable height. Cooks refusal to bowl spin from both ends spoke volumes as the umpires called off the chase in the twilight.Win, lose or tie, this has been a contest to savour, on a surface that deserves huge praise for offering a distinctly subcontinental challenge without descending into a puff-of-dust farce. And whatever the outcome, Bangladesh have played their part and more in the most compelling Test match in this country since Australias terrific scare at Fatullah in 2006. On Monday, within an hour of the resumption, Sabbir could have made himself a national hero. Custom Baseball Jerseys Outlet . Terms of the deal were not immediately available.

Egypt and Libya have defied major political unrest to challenge for a spot in Brazil next year. Ethiopia followed on from its first appearance at the African Cup in 30 years by reaching the decisive World Cup playoff games as one of 10 group winners, eliminating 2010 host South Africa on the way. Libya and Ethiopia have never been to the World Cup, while Egypt hasnt qualified for more than 20 years. Tunisia and Algeria also made the playoffs, with North African football fighting back after one of its worst periods culminated with the region having no teams in the last eight of this years African Cup. The continents top-ranked team, Ivory Coast, was among the first five countries into the playoff ties in October and November. The remaining five will be decided in the final group games in early September. A founding member of the African Cup of Nations -- and African champion back in 1962 -- Ethiopia reached a long-awaited high with a come-from-behind 2-1 win over South Africa in front of 25,000 roaring fans in Addis Ababa. Bernard Parkers 70th minute own goal for the South Africans sealed Ethiopias place as Group A winner, sending the supporters inside the National Stadium wild. Thousands who didnt get tickets crowded outside the walls of the stadium in the capital within minutes of full time, waving flags, bouncing up and down, and hailing Ethiopias resurgence. "There are many talented players here in Ethiopia. This will be a turning point for Ethiopian football," coach Sewnet Bishaw said, adding "our crowd" made the victory possible. Parker misdirected a header from a set-piece and it rocketed into the top right corner of his own net for Ethiopias winner. Playing for its survival, South Africa had led through Parkers left--footed volley in the 33rd minute, but Getaneh Kebede equalized in the 42nd in a game fizzing with passion from the home fans.dddddddddddd Ranked 106th by FIFA, Ethiopia is now a two-legged tie away from being among the top 32 teams in the world in Brazil. Ivory Coast earlier won 4-2 in Tanzania after being 1-0 and 2-1 down, helped by a double from Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure. Five goals came in the first half before Africas top team prevailed and took the playoff place as Group C winner. Egypt, under former U.S. coach Bob Bradley, is also headed for the playoffs and has a chance at a first World Cup appearance since 1990 after winning 1-0 in Mozambique to dominate Group G with a perfect five wins from five so far. Mohamed Salah scored the 40th-minute winner in Maputo, adding to the hat trick he scored in Egypts win over Zimbabwe in the last round. A place at Brazil 2014 would be a remarkable turnaround for Bradleys team after it failed to qualify for the 2012 and 2013 African Cups amid violence and disorder back home. Tunisia secured a 1-1 draw and a point in Equatorial Guinea with Oussama Darragis second-half penalty to win Group B. Algeria won 1-0 in Rwanda and claimed Group H when Mali drew 2-2 with Benin in the weekends last game. A 2010 World Cup quarterfinalist, Ghana won 2-0 in Lesotho after goals by Christian Atsu and Asamoah Gyan to go top of Group D by a point from former African champion Zambia. That will go down to a tense decider when Ghana hosts Zambia in the final round of group games. Cameroon could only draw 0-0 in Congo, leaving Libya two points clear in Group I and needing a draw in Cameroon when they meet in the groups final round to be in the last 10. Best placed to take the remaining three spots in the playoffs are African champion Nigeria, Senegal and surprise package Republic of Congo. Senegal beat Liberia 2-0 after a double from Papiss Cisse to lead Uganda by a point in Group J following five of six games. ' ' '
