- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.1 nicked and gone, and Taskin is on the board too! Just reward, you could say, for his toil. On a length outside off, and zipping through. Bennett goes nibbling at it and the ball kisses the outside edge before nestling into the keeper's gloves. Both openers back in the shed, and Bangladesh on top! 17/25.1 dragged on, and Curran is on his way! Back of a length just outside off. A bit of extra kick and Curran tries to soften the impact with, well, soft hands. Too much of a dead-batted effort in the end, though, with the ball slinking off the face of the bat and rolling onto the stumps, despite Curran's best efforts to fence it away with his blade. Bangladesh on the board after a probing period! 12/126.1 taken at square leg!! Taskin strikes first ball on his return. This partnership threatened to bat deep, but Taskin's shortish delivery ends Kaia's patient innings on 25. Kaia seemed to be rushed by the pace there. The ball arrived around middle and off, and he went for the pull. But the ball ballooned up for Tanvir, who took the catch with a reverse cup 78/412.3 edged and gone this time! Ervine had been playing with fire all over and now, he gets burnt. Back of a length outside off. Not a lot happening but Ervine shows no conviction either. A loose dangle away from the body and Ervine feathers it through to the keeper. Zimbabwe three down now! 27/340.2 top edge, and gone!! Madhevere has his hands on his head. He's down on his haunches now. He doesn't want to walk back. This was a short-of-a-length ball on off, and one which turned away. The ball seemed like having gone to Madhevere slower than he anticipated, as he looked to swat, but the ball popped up off a top edge. The man at cover turned halfway to his right, and took a few steps forward to take a sharp catch 151/732.4 oh dear - what has happened here?! A really, really bizarre dismissal! Shortish just outside off and the ball holds in the surface. Raza shapes for the pull but the lack of pace means that he is too early into the stroke. He loses his footing in the meantime too and by the time the ball lobs up off the top edge, he is almost on the deck. Easy catch at short fine leg, and this is a massive wicket for the visitors! 107/533.3 nicked and taken! Shoriful has another! This is splendid bowling. On a length outside off, drawing Madande forward and into a prod away from the body. The ball straightens against the angle enough and floats off the outside edge, with Nurul doing the rest. Three for Shoriful today, and Zimbabwe now in lots of bother! 108/647.2 taken at fine leg!! This was skied up very high, and the fielder did well to keep his eyes on the ball. He even tumbled while completing the catch. Shoriful bowled a bouncer, and had Evans hooking. But he gets a top edge, and Tanvir does well to complete the chance. The ball was rising outside off, and Evans went for the big shot to the leg side 197/942.6 direct hit!! He's gone. Evans looks frustrated at the other end. Masakadza was more than halfway down the pitch even as Evans hardly even responded to the call. Masakadza had got an outside edge towards point as he pushed forward at this short-of-a-length ball around middle. He took off while watching the ball, while Evans remained firm 171/848.1 caught him!! Zimbabwe are bowled out for 199. Mid-off takes a simple catch. Masuku attempts a swat to the leg side, but mistimes the ball. It is on the shorter side on off, and at good pace. The ball skids on to him, and takes off from the top edge 199/10Extras13 (lb 4, w 9)TOTAL199 all out (48.1 Overs, RR: 4.13)Fall of wickets: 1-12 (Ben Curran, 5.1 ov), 2-17 (Brian Bennett, 6.1 ov), 3-27 (Craig Ervine, 12.3 ov), 4-78 (Innocent Kaia, 26.1 ov), 5-107 (Sikandar Raza, 32.4 ov), 6-108 (Clive Madande, 33.3 ov), 7-151 (Wessly Madhevere, 40.2 ov), 8-171 (Wellington Masakadza, 42.6 ov), 9-197 (Brad Evans, 47.2 ov), 10-199 (Ernest Masuku, 48.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR34.1 goes up a mile... and Tanzid falls on 94. Evans at long-on waits forever for the ball to dip. Tanzid looked to get to the landmark in a hurry, but ended up skying the ball really high. Evans was placed a good few steps in, and hardly had to move, as Tanzid swung hard at this length delivery 197/227.4 the off stump comes off. Chivanga celebrates as if that was so expected. He forms a reverse V with two fingers of his left hand, and inserts his right index finger there to celebrate. He angled it in from around the wicket, and on a short of a length around off. The ball kept low, and Soumya remained stuck in the crease while trying to push at it. He missed, and the ball struck off stump 151/134.4 edged to slip!! Zimbabwe are having some fun belatedly. Masuku offers half a smile. He bowls this short and in the channel just outside off. Hridoy fends at it awkwardly - the bat is neither fully horizontal nor is the bat face closed. In the process, he ends up getting a top edge to the only slip fielder, placed a little wide of where the usual first slip is 197/3Extras19 (lb 2, nb 1, w 16)TOTAL200/3 (36 Overs, RR: 5.55)Fall of wickets: 1-151 (Soumya Sarkar, 27.4 ov), 2-197 (Tanzid Hasan, 34.1 ov), 3-197 (Towhid Hridoy, 34.4 ov)
