5pm And that final delivery sums it all up, really. First, Bangladesh's lower order, and then their bowling attack, were just a bit too undisciplined to seriously threaten in this contest. Zimbabwe are in pole position, trailing by just four runs at stumps on day one. But it's worth bearing in mind that Test cricket is Test cricket - there's all the time in the world for further twists in this tale. For now, though, Zimbabwe will be the much happier time as this pair walks off the pitch. We'll be back tomorrow - Ekanth and I - to take you through the second day's play. For now, though, from us and Harshith, goodbye and hope you enjoy the rest of the cricket going on today!
