| 6.4 : 6.4: K Jarvis to Kayes, OUT! Chakabva takes a stunner! Kayes departs for a 16-ball duck. A good beginning for Zimbabwe. Both their pacers were probing in good areas and finally there is some success. After bowling an outswinger on the previous ball, Jarvis delivers a length ball around off and gets it to straighten from there. Kayes tries to defend it by bringing down a straight bat but it kisses the inside part of his bat and flies behind. Chakabva shows excellent reflexes as he dives across fu |
| 8.5 : 8.5: K Jarvis to Das, OUT! Another one falls! Poor, extremely poor shot selection by Liton Das. Jarvis roars in delight. He angles in a length ball on middle and Das spots the opportunity to play the flick shot. He gets it away from the middle of his bat too but fails to keep it down. Brandon Mavuta manning the mid-wicket region makes no mistake and Bangladesh lose their second wicket. The umpire quickly checks upstairs for the no ball but Kyle is fine with his front foot landing. Perfect start |
| 9.1 : 9.1: D Tiripano to Haque, FOUR! Losner to start from the bowler. It was short and wide outside off, Haque cuts it hard through backward point and the ball races away to the boundary. |
| 10.2 : 10.2: K Jarvis to Haque, FOUR! A cracking shot! This is what Liton was attempting but got out. A flick shot by Mominul Haque. He gets a full length delivery on off, uses his wrists and with good balance clips it through the gap at mid-wicket. |
| 11.1 : 11.1: D Tiripano to M Mithun, OUT! Zimbabwe all over Bangladesh like a rash! What on earth was going in the mind of the debutant? Poor, once again very poor from a Bangla batsman. Tiripano delivers a very full delivery wide outside off. It could have been left alone but Mithun chases it away from his body and tries to squeeze it through point. Needless, completely needless. The ball takes the outside edge of his bat and flies straight into the hands of Taylor at second slip, who takes it gleeful |
| 20.3 : 20.3: T Chatara to Haque, FOUR! Lovely placement! Chatara angles a length ball outside off, Mominul leans forward and drives it right through the gap. Does well to find it as he threads it between silly mid off and extra cover. No stopping this one. |
| 23.2 : 23.2: S Raza to Haque, FOUR! Nice timing! A low full toss on off, Mominul takes a stride forward to meet the ball and strokes it elegantly down the ground for a lovely boundary. |
| 27.6 : 27.6: S Raza to Haque, FOUR! Easy pickings! This is very short and very wide outside off, Mominul stands back, goes chasing after it and whacks it through covers. |
| 29.5 : 29.5: S Raza to Rahim, FOUR! Boom! Tossed up ball outside off, landing full and outside off, Rahim latches onto it and drills his drive through cover-point for a boundary. |
| 30.4 : 30.4: D Tiripano to Haque, FOUR! Tiripano bangs it short, Haque quickly hangs back and pulls it towards deep square leg for a boundary. |
| 31.6 : 31.6: S Raza to Rahim, FOUR! Well played! Raza lands it full and around leg, Rahim kneels and nails his sweep shot behind square leg for a boundary. A good end to the over. This pair is now settling down and getting used to the pace of the pitch. |
| 33.1 : 33.1: K Jarvis to Rahim, FOUR! A gentle loosener first up. Short and wide outside off, Rahim stands tall inside the crease and at the last moment guides it past the point fielder for a boundary. This now is the best partnership of the series for Bangladesh. |
| 36.4 : 36.4: S Williams to Haque, FOUR! Cuts and cuts hard. It was dragged in short, Haque quickly rocks back and cuts it towards backward point for a boundary. Also brings up his 50. Well player from the left hander. He needs to carry on and score a big one. |
| 39.3 : 39.3: K Jarvis to Rahim, FOUR! Edgy but well played! Good length delivery around off, Rahim strides forward to have a push inside the line. He does so with gentle hands and the outside edge races past gully and backward point for a boundary. |
| 43.4 : 43.4: B Mavuta to Haque, FOUR! EXQUISITE! Mavuta floats it up on middle, Haque gets to the pitch of the ball and drives it firmly through covers for a boundary. Lovely shot. |
| 45.5 : 45.5: B Mavuta to Haque, FOUR! Nice shot. Mavuta drags it short again, Haque square cuts it past backward point for a boundary. |
| 48.6 : 48.6: S Williams to M Rahim, FOUR! No stopping this one! Williams serves a flat and short delivery on off, Rahim camps back to create some room and slaps it through point for a boundary. Bangladesh continue their merry way. This is now the record 4th wicket partnership for Bangladesh in Tests against Zimbabwe. |
| 50.1 : 50.1: S Raza to M Haque, FOUR! Raza drops it short first up, a rank loosener, Mominul goes on the back foot and hammer-pulls it over mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 50.2 : 50.2: S Raza to Haque, FOUR! Moves into the 90s! Once again the length is on the shorter side, around off, Mominul goes deep inside the crease and clobbers it through covers. |
| 54.1 : 54.1: S Raza to Haque, FOUR! 7th Test hundred for Mominul Haque. The dry spell is over. The little batsman who once was called the Asian Bradman is back in form. Receives a full toss with open arms and whips it over mid-wicket for a boundary. He was dropped twice in this innings and he has made sure to make it count. Brilliant fightback. |
| 56.2 : 56.2: S Raza to Haque, FOUR! Wow, what a shot! Mominul is down on one knee to a full ball outside off. He fetches it from there, goes against the spin but powers it over mid-wicket for a boundary. Nearly went all the way. |
| 57.3 : 57.3: T Chatara to Haque, FOUR! STREAKY! Full and wide outside off, Haque slashes hard at it and the ball goes uppishly over gully for a boundary. |
| 65.4 : 65.4: T Chatara to Rahim, FOUR! SMASHED! Chatara bangs it short, Rahim gets into the position and pulls it towards deep mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 67.2 : 67.2: B Mavuta to M Haque, FOUR!DROPPED CHANCE! Nice loopy delivery outside off, Haque gets the outside edge and ball flies in between the first slip fielder. The captain at first slip should have reacted to it. Big opportunity lost for the visitors to break the partnership. |
| 68.3 : 68.3: D Tiripano to M Rahim, FOUR! Shot! Marginally overpitched outside off, Rahim gets forward with a big stride and plays a crunching cover drive for a boundary. |
| 69.1 : 69.1: B Mavuta to Rahim, FOUR! DISPATCHED! Flighted delivery on middle, Rahim goes in one knee and slogs it over deep mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 75.2 : 75.2: B Mavuta to Haque, FOUR! Lovely shot that. Flighted delivery on of, Haque leans forward and drives it firmly through covers for a boundary. |
| 76.4 : 76.4: H Masakadza to M Haque, FOUR! Nails it! Hamilton drags in a short delivery on middle, Mominul stands tall inside the crease and pulls it powerfully in front of square leg for a boundary. |
| 78.6 : 78.6: S Raza to Rahim, FOUR! Boom! Floated full off spinner landing outside off, Rahim gives the charge and muscles it through covers for a boundary. |
| 83.5 : 83.5: B Mavuta to Haque, FOUR! SLAMMED! Drags it short, Haque rocks back and slaps it through point for a boundary. |
| 85.1 : 85.1: T Chatara to Haque, FOUR! Errs in line and Haque will not miss on those. Length delivery outside leg and he tickles it fine and the ball races away to the boundary. |
| 85.4 : 85.4: T Chatara to Haque, OUT! Finally a breakthrough for Zimbabwe! They have toiled hard for this. Mominul was dropped very early in the innings in the same area by Brian Chari but this time he makes no mistake. The second new ball has done the trick for the visiting team. Chatara angles it away from the batsman. It's on a fuller length and Mominul tries to play a loose drive away from his body. It takes the outside half of the bat as he slices it in the air towards gully where Chari takes a go |
| 88.6 : 88.6: Jarvis to Islam, OUT! Oh, hello! There is some spike on the Ultra Edge and the nightwatchman departs. The appeal wasn't convincing but Jarvis was very sure and convinced his skipper to take the review. He has hit the jackpot. A back of a length delivery angling away from the batsman, Taijul stays back footed inside the crease and has a tame push inside the line. He seems to have missed it but as soon as Chakabva collects the ball, Kyle goes up in a big appeal. Not much support from behind |
| 96.2 : 96.2: K Jarvis to Mahmudullah, FOUR! EXQUISITE! Overpitched from Jarvis. The batsman leans forward and drives it beautifully through covers for a boundary. Lovely shot that. |
| 107.3 : 107.3: D Tiripano to Mahmudullah, FOUR! MAJESTIC! What a shot. Fractionally overpitched outside off and Mahmudullah pounces. Leans and drives it through the covers for a boundary. Moves to 22 while the stand is now 33. |
| 107.4 : 107.4: D Tiripano to Mahmudullah, FOUR MORE! Was that intentional? In all likelihood. A length ball outside off, the captain arches back slightly, opens the face of the bat and guides it between second slip and gully towards third man! |
| 114.2 : 114.2: S Williams to Rahim, FOUR! Finally Rahim gets some runs. After 93 deliveries, to be precise. Full and down the leg side, Rahim gets down and sweeps it behind square leg for a boundary! |
| 117.2: B Mavuta to Rahim, FOUR! Errs in length from the bowler and Rahim takes full use of it. Dragged down on leg, Rahim rocks back and pulls it towards fine leg and the ball races away to the boundary. |
| 121.1 : 121.1: K Jarvis to Rahim, FOUR! On a length outside off, Rahim opens the bat-face nicely and guides it towards third man for a boundary! |
| 121.3 : 121.3: K Jarvis to Mahmudullah, OUT! Caught behind! Jarvis has got the breakthrough! Zimbabwe get a wicket immediately after the break. On a length outside off, Mahmudullah looks to defend but the ball moves away a touch, takes the outside edge and goes through to the keeper! Certainly did not expect this after Lunch. We all flat that the ball will turn but here, seam movement is visible. End of a dogged innings from the captain. The 73-run stand is broken. |
| 125.2 : 125.2: K Jarvis to A Haque, FOUR! Short and wayward, demanding punishment! Ariful rocks back and pulls it away behind square leg for four runs. |
| 127.1 : 127.1: K Jarvis to A Haque, OUT! Caught at gully, Good length and outside off again, Ariful plays a lazy shot. Tries to punch it on the up, but it takes a thick edge that carries to Brian Chari at gully. Jarvis picks up his 5th wicket. Considering that Zimbabwe are a bowler down, he has stepped up beautifully. The visitors are now into the tail. Can they restrict Bangladesh under 400? |
| 129.4 : 129.4: D Tiripano to Rahim, FOUR! Lucky for Mushfiqur, short and wide outside off, flashes and flashes hard, the edge carries above the first slip fielder and to the boundary. 150 up for Rahim, his 3rd score of 150 or more in Test cricket! Can the tail wag around him? |
| 130.2 : 130.2: S Williams to Hasan, FOUR! Half volley from Williams. Miraz leans forward and drives it firmly through covers for a boundary. Good shot that. Easy runs given away by the bowlers after the Lunch session. |
| 131.4 : 131.4: D Tiripano to Hasan, FOUR! Full toss on the pads and a good gift for the batsman, easily flicked to the mid wicket fence for four runs. 400 up for Bangladesh! How much more can they add? |
| 133.2 : 133.2: D Tiripano to Hasan, FOUR! Wide outside off, Mehidy cuts off the front foot and finds the gap on the off side. Valiant dive by the fielder but can't stop the boundary. |
| 137.3 : 137.3: S Raza to Rahim, FOUR! Flighted outside off, Rahim comes down the wicket and converts it into a half volley, finds the gap through the covers. |
| 137.4 : 137.4: S Raza to Rahim, SIX! Similar ball, Rahim dances down the wicket again and smashes it over cow corner for a huge maximum. This is Raza's first over today and Rahim is certainly reminding him of the clobbering yesterday. Has already gone for 75 runs in his 13th over. |
| 138.3 : 138.3: S Williams to Rahim, FOUR! SMASHED! Drags it short, Rahim hangs back and pulls it through deep sqaure leg and the ball races away to the fence. |
| 142.5 : 142.5: B Mavuta to Rahim, FOUR! Short and down the leg side, Rahim rocks back and pulls it behind square leg for a boundary! 450 UP FOR BANGLADESH! |
| 148.5: B Mavuta to Hasan, FOUR! Short and fired in wide outside off, Mehidy just opens the face of the bat and picks up an easy boundary towards third man. |
| 153.3 : 153.3: S Raza to Hasan, SIX! SLAP! Mehidy gets to his fifty in style! Full and outside off, Hasan comes down the track and slogs it over wide long on! |
| 154.3: B Mavuta to Rahim, FOUR! On middle, Rahim lofts it straight back over the bowler's head for a boundary! |
| 158.2 : 158.2: B Mavuta to Hasan, FOUR! Mehidy has decided to go after everything now, full and on the off stump, he picks it up and puts it above mid on's head for a boundary. |
| 159.2: S Williams to Rahim, FOUR! Innovative from Rahim. Bowls it quicker on middle, MR reverse sweeps it towards third man for a boundary. |
| 0.5 : 0.5: M Rahman to Masakadza, FOUR! Streaky but effective. It was bowled full outside off, Hamilton slashes it hard and the ball goes uppishly over gully and races away to the fence. |
| 7.5: T Islam to Masakadza, FOUR! Beautifully swept away into the vacant leg side. Full ball at the stumps, Masakadza goes down on one knee and sweeps it hard to square leg for four runs. |
| 14.1 : 14.1: T Islam to H Masakadza, OUT c Mehidy Hasan b Taijul Islam. OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Break through for Bangladesh. Islam tosses it up on middle, the ball spun away, Masakadza leans forward and gets the outside edge of the bat and the ball goes striaght to the first slip fielder Mehidy Hasan who takes a good catch. |
| 21.4 : 21.4: M Rahman to Tiripano, FOUR! The first runs of the morning, in a streaky way! Good length ball on off stump. Tiripano tries to punch it off the back foot but it takes the outside egde and runs to the third man boundary all along the ground. |
| 23.5 : 23.5: M Rahman to B Chari, FOUR! Streaky boundary again! This is good bowling from Mustafizur! Chari gets his first runs of the morning. Short of a length ball starting on leg stump and shapes away from the batsman. Tiripano wants to defend it but it takes the outside edge and goes in between 2nd and 3rd slips and runs away for four runs. |
| 28.4 : 28.4: T Islam to D Tiripano, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Bangladesh get their first today. Taijul is the man once again to provide the breakthrough and again it is the combination of him and Mehidy Hasan. This is tossed up around off, it pitches, turns away and also bounces a touch extra. Tiripano lunges forward to defend with an angled bat but the ball takes the outside edge and goes into the safe hands of Hasan at first slip. He takes a tumbling catch. Donald's stubborn innings comes to an end. |
| 30.6 : 30.6: T Islam to Chari, SIX! Great Shot. Tossed up on off stump, Chari lofts it over mid off and it goes over the boundary for a six. |
| 31.4 : 31.4: K Ahmed to Chari, FOUR! So Chari has now scored 10 from the last two balls he has faced. This was pure timing. A little too full on off, Chari pushes it through mid off and the ball races away. |
| 33.5 : 33.5: K Ahmed to Chari, SIX! These blows seem to have woken up Chari! He is seeing the ball really well now and deposits this short one from Khaled for a maximum over deep square leg. Brilliant execution of the shot! |
| 34.6 : 34.6: T Islam to Chari, FOUR! Good shot. Tossed up again on leg stump, Chari sweeps it towards square leg for a boundary. |
| 36.2 : 36.2: Islam to Chari, FOUR! Great Shot. Flighted delivery on middle stump, Brian lofts it straight down the ground for a boundary. |
| 36.3 : 36.3: T Islam to Chari, FOUR! Beautiful shot. Tossed up on off stump, Chari lofts this over covers for a boundary. Umpire wanted to check that is it a four or six. In the end umpire signals it a four. |
| 36.5 : 36.5: Islam to Chari, FOUR! Fifty for Brian Chari. Great innings from him. Good shot. Flighted delivery on middle stump, Chari lofts it straight past the bowler for a boundary. |
| 37.3 : 37.3: M Hasan to Taylor, FOUR! Full ball outside off, Taylor goes down on one knee and reverse sweeps it for four runs. The runs seem to be flowing now! |
| 39.6 : 39.6: M Hasan to Taylor, FOUR! That's another brillaint sweep shot from Taylor! Sean Williams had suggested that it would be a shot that they would go to today and his teammate is proving him right! Full and wide outside off but Taylor goes down and takes it from there and finds the square leg boundary. |
| 41.4 : 41.4: M Hasan to B Chari, OUT! Yes, Snicko shows a spike, which means it has just about flicked the glove. Chari has to walk back just a few minutes before lunch. He is not happy but not sure, if he is unhappy about the decision or just not happy with the mode of the dismissal. This is bowled down the leg side, Chari looks to pad it away but the ball hits him on the thigh pad and then lobs up towards his glove and then to the fielder at short leg. Mominul there takes it and appeals. The umpire s |
| 45.6 : 45.6: M Hasan to Williams, FOUR! Short and wide outside off, Williams rocks back and cuts it away beautifully for a boundary. |
| 48.2 : 48.2: Islam to Taylor, FOUR! Great shot. Flighted delivery on off stump, Taylor dances down the track and lofts it straight over the bowler for a boundary. |
| 50.1 : 50.1: T Islam to Taylor, FOUR! Beautiful shot. Tossed up on leg stump, Taylor lofts it over long on for a boundary. |
| 50.5 : 50.5: Islam to S Williams, OUT! BOWLED 'EM! Williams seems to have missed a straight ball there. Also, he has misread the length completely. Islam tosses it up around off, it goes on with the arm. Williams pays the price for not picking the variation. He should have been forward to this delivery but he tries playing it off the back foot. That brings his downfall. He misses and the ball shatters the off stump behind. An early wicket after the break for Bangladesh and it is a big one. Williams wal |
| 54.5: Islam to S Raza, OUT! Another one bites the dust! Taijul Islam is breathing fire here. This was a top, top delivery! Not a lot Raza could have done with that. Maybe, he could have been a little forward there. Now though it is too late. Islam pitches this around middle, Raza plays for the original trajectory but the ball straightens a touch, beats the outside edge and hits the stumps. Half the side is back in the hut for Zimbabwe as Raza walks back for a duck. They need another 192 to avoid |
| 59.2 : 59.2: M Rahman to P Moor, FOUR! Fuller this time and outside off, Moor drives and gets it in the gap between point and gully for a very welcome boundary. |
| 62.1 : 62.1: T Islam to Moor, FOUR! Half tracker from Taijul, Moor pulls it towards mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 62.2 : 62.2: T Islam to Moor, FOUR! Consecutive boundaries for Peter Moor. Overpitched outside off stump, Moor drives it through covers for a boundary. |
| 63.6 : 63.6: K Ahmed to P Moor, FOUR! Short and wide outside off. Moor latches onto the opportunity, frees his arms and cuts it away hard, square on the off side for four runs. |
| 64.6: M Hasan to Moor, FOUR! CARESSED! This is tossed up outside off, it is a little too full. The spin is out of contention and Moor slaps it hits it through covers for a boundary. |
| 67.2 : 67.2: K Ahmed to Moor, FOUR! Short of a length and on off stump. Moor makes room and cuts it away beautifully in the gap to the left of the point fielder to pick up an easy boundary. Adjusted really nicely to play this shot. |
| 68.2: T Islam to Taylor, FOUR! Tossed up on middle stump, Taylor goes high and over mid on for a boundary. |
| 69.4 : 69.4: Mahmudullah to Moor, SIX! Huge one over deep square leg! Flighted delivery outside off, Moor goes down on one knee, picks the ball up and deposits over the square leg fence. Wonderful shot, that! |
| 72.5 : 72.5: T Islam to P Moor, FOUR! Flighted delivery on off stump, turning away, Moor drives it towards covers for a boundary. Nicely played with the spin, right through the gap, not much risk. |
| 79.4 : 79.4: M Hasan to Moor, FOUR! UP AND OVER! Gets to his fifty in style! Got a fifty in the first innings of the first Test and now gets one in the first innings here. His 5th in this format. His eyes lit up as he sees the flight on the ball. Lofts it over the mid off fielder and a boundary results. No real celebration as he knows his team is still way behind in the game. However, his partnership with Taylor is reviving some hope for the tourists. |
| 80.2 : 80.2: M Rahman to Taylor, FOUR! DELIGHTFUL! That is a shot by a man in full control. Full and on middle, it shapes back in a touch. Taylor this time does not plant his front foot too across and hence is in great position to play it with the full face of the bat. It is hit past mid on for a boundary. |
| 80.5 : 80.5: M Rahman to Taylor, FOUR! Top stuff! Two top class boundaries in this over! This one is through the cover region. Full and outside, in fact a half volley. Taylor is too good a batsman to miss out there. He strokes it through covers and the ball races away. |
| 82.6 : 82.6: M Rahman to Moor, FOUR! Easy-peasy! The two now look in no problem whatsoever! Rahman comes around the wicket and bowls it very full around off, Moor opens the face of the bat and guides it through point. No fielder there so a boundary results. |
| 83.3 : 83.3: K Ahmed to Moor, FOUR! Slightly overpitched and Moor immediately takes advantage, he drives it beautifully through extra cover for a well-timed four. This also brings up the 100-run stand between these two. What a vital time to get it too! Just 89 more runs required to avoid the follow-on. |
| 87.1 : 87.1: M Rahman to Moor, FOUR! Not entirely in control but well played in the end. The ball was short and aimed at the body, Moor is on his back foot and just opens the face of his bat. The ball goes between the slips for four runs. |
| 87.3 : 87.3: Rahman to P Moor, FOUR! Much finer this time. Was a short ball from Mustafizur, didn't bounce as much as expected but Moor stays on the back foot and just lifts the ball over the first slip for a boundary. Brillaint innovation. |
| 91.6 : 91.6: A Haque to Moor, OUT! Three reds and Bangladesh have finally broken through the 139-run stand. Much, much-needed wicket for the hosts and a timely one. Zimbabwe are still 53 runs away from avoiding the follow-on and they have 4 more wickets in hand. Haque bowls it on the fuller side and it jags back in late. Moor fails to adjust to the swing as he tries to work it on the leg side. Misses completely and it hits his front pad. It goes to the keeper who takes it and appeals. The Bangladesh pl |
| 92.3 : 92.3: T Islam to B Taylor, FOUR! Taylor lifts it beautifully over extra cover and in the gap for a boundary. He raches 99 now. Just a single away from another superb century by the Zimbabwean veteran. |
| 94.5 : 94.5: T Islam to Taylor, FOUR! Conventional sweep and he gets the desired result. Goes down on one knee and sweeps it over the mid-wicket region for a boundary. |
| 94.6 : 94.6: T Islam to Taylor, FOUR! Consecutive boundaries! And the runs needed to avoid the follow-on is below 40. This is fired outside off, Taylor gets into position early and reverse sweeps it through short third man. A boundary results. |
| 95.4 : 95.4: A Haque to Chakabva, FOUR! A valiant effort in the deep by Rahman but it goes in vain. Full and on the pads, Chakabva flicks it through square leg. Mustafizur from fine leg runs to his left, dives and tries to pull it back in. The umpires go upstairs to check but replays show that the ball was in contact with Rahman's body as he touched the ropes. |
| 98.1 : 98.1: M Hasan to Taylor, OUT! What a catch that is! Something special was needed to get rid of Taylor and Islam has provided it. He has pulled off an absolute screamer. Taylor has absolutely nailed the sweep shot. It is right off the middle, he must have though there is runs on offer as soon as he hit it but it was not to be. Islam in the deep square leg region dives to his right and hangs onto it with two hands. Outstanding. End of a magnificent innings but Zimbabwe needed him to stay out there |
| 98.3 : 98.3: M Hasan to B Mavuta, OUT! One brings two! Now they have only 2 wickets in hand (count it one with Chatara not expected to bat) and need another 33 to avoid the follow-on. The straighter one does the trick. It is tossed up around off, Mavuta plays inside the line, thinking it would turn into him. It does not and takes the outside edge. Ariful Haque makes no mistake at first slip and Mavuta goes for a duck. |
| 105.3: T Islam to R Chakabva, OUT! It is a clean catch and that is the end of Zimbabwe's innings as Chatara won't be able to bat. Islam gets his sixth fifer in Tests, third in a row. Simply amazing. He tosses it up around middle and it comes in with the angle. Chakabva tries to defend with his bat way ahead of his front pad. The ball goes off the inner half towards Mominul at short leg. He is standing nice and low and he seems to have taken it. The players start celebrating but the umpire wants |
| 4.1 : 4.1: K Jarvis to Kayes, OUT! Caught by Mavuta! Waste of a wicket by Kayes! An early wicket would lift the spirit of the Zimbabweans. The ball was short and wide outside off, Kayes went after it and cuts it in the air and finds the man positioned at deep point perfectly. Good catch by Mavuta! Kayes will be kicking himself, it was a good opportunity to get some good runs under his belt as there wasn't much pressure on him. Jarvis is pumped up! |
| 4.3 : 4.3: K Jarvis to L Das, OUT! Make that 2 in the over! Both openers dismissed in a matter of 2 balls. Jarvis is on fire. Best view for a fast bowler. Kyle pitches this on a length, just around off and Das gets across to defend. But at the last moment, the ball moves away, beats the outside edge and hits the top of off stump! Early trouble for Bangladesh. They are effectively 228/2. |
| 5.4 : 5.4: D Tiripano to Haque, OUT! Caught by Chakabva! What a start for Zimbabwe this morning! The pacers are making the ball talk. A good length ball again just outside off, Mominul can't resist going for the cut shot off the back foot. But he is too close to the ball and it takes the outside edge and goes to Chakabva at a good height. Bangladesh are putting themselves under pressure here. Very poor shot selection this morning. Overall, their position reads 228/3. |
| 7.5 : 7.5: S Williams to Rahim, FOUR! Swept from outside the off stump to square leg for a boundary. The ball was flighted and outside off, Rahim goes down on one knee and takes it from there and sweeps it to the legside boundary for four runs. |
| 11.5: S Williams to Mithun, FOUR! Mithun predetermines the length of the ball, goes down and plays the paddle sweep. Gets a good connection and the ball rolls all along the ground to the fine leg boundary. |
| 12.1 : 12.1: D Tiripano to Rahim, OUT! Caught! Rahim falls too! Good start for Zimbabwe after Drinks break. Short of a length delivery on middle stump, Rahim tries to pull it over mid-wicket but finds Tiripano there. Rahim watches his bat as he regrets about playing that shot. Massive wicket for Zimbabwe. |
| 13.5 : 13.5: S Williams to Mithun, FOUR! Short and outside off, Mithun rocks back and punches it through point for a boundary! |
| 19.3 : 19.3: S Williams to M Mithun, FOUR! Fifty up for Bangladesh. Bowled short, Mithun pulls it over mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 19.5 : 19.5: S Williams to Mahmudullah, SIX! Up and over! Flighted delivery on middle stump, Mahmudullah dances down the track and hits it straight down the ground for a beautiful biggie! Clearly the plan is to unsettle the spinner. |
| 24.2 : 24.2: K Jarvis to Mahmudullah, FOUR! That is a beautiful way to bring up the 50-run stand. Full outside off stump, Mahmudullah drives it towards covers for a boundary. It has been a very good resurrection after the fall of wickets upfront. |
| 27.2: B Mavuta to Mithun, FOUR! Great Shot. Tossed up on off stump, Mithun drives it towards covers for a beautiful boundary. |
| 34.3 : 34.3: D Tiripano to Mahmudullah, FOUR! Short outside off stump, the skipper cuts it between point and third man for a beautiful boundary. |
| 39.1 : 39.1: S Raza to Mithun, SIX! Huge strike from Mithun over deep mid-wicket. Flighted outside off, Mithun gets into position early and smacks it for a big one! |
| 39.2 : 39.2: S Raza to Mithun, OUT! Caught by Chakabva! Mithun attempts the same shot again, gets the top edge this time and it goes a mile in the air. Chakabva runs to the mid-wicket region and pouches it comfortably in his big gloves. |
| 42.2: Williams to A Haque, OUT! BOWLED AROUND HIS LEGS! Wow. Turn. Massive turn. Problems for Zimbabwe. Big problems. This is pitched well outside leg and on the rough. Ariful looks to sweep but misses. But the ball just spins in quickly, goes past the bat and hits the middle stump! The pitch has started to change big time. |
| 45.1 : 45.1: S Raza to Mahmudullah, FOUR! Full toss wide outside off, Mahmudullah cuts it away for four behind square on the off side. |
| 45.5 : 45.5: S Raza to Hasan, FOUR! Wonderful sweep shot! Full and outside off but Mehidy takes it from there and sweeps it away to fine leg for an easy boundary. Wayward bowling from Zimbabwe here. |
| 47.1 : 47.1: Mavuta to Mahmudullah, FOUR! SLAUGHTERED! Full and around leg, Mahmudullah exposes all his three sticks, goes down the leg side and blasts it straight back over the bowler! |
| 48.6 : 48.6: S Williams to Hasan, FOUR! Comes down the wicket and whacks it straight over the bowler's head. Full and on leg stump, Mahmudullah comes dancing down, makes room to free his arms and smashes it straight over Williams's head for a four. |
| 49.6: B Mavuta to Mahmudullah, SIX! STUPENDOUS! Mahmudullah is launching into the bowlers here! Floated, around leg, the skipper gives himself room to the leg side and slog sweeps it over mid-wicket! 200 IS UP FOR BANGLADESH and so is this 50-run stand. Taken just 46 balls. That is quick. |
| 9.1 : 9.1: T Islam to Chari, FOUR! SMASH! Full and outside off, Chari comes forward and lofts it over mid on, one bounce and into the fence! |
| 9.5 : 9.5: T Islam to Chari, SIX! He continues to attack Taijul. Full and outside off, Chari comes down the track and lofts it over long off! |
| 11.4 : 11.4: T Islam to Chari, FOUR! Good shot here from Chari, rocks back to a short of a length ball and punches it through cover for a four. |
| 12.3 : 12.3: K Ahmed to Masakadza, FOUR! Delightful on drive from Masakadza! Full and on off stump, the skipper drives it all along the ground to long on for four! |
| 22.2 : 22.2: M Hasan to B Chari, FOUR! Terrific shot. Bowled short and flat, Chari pulls it towards mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 22.6 : 22.6: M Hasan to Masakadza, OUT! This time the catch is taken! Sharp catch by Mominul Haque. The stand has been finally broken. Tossed up on middle stump, Masakadza tries to defend off the front foot but gets an inside edge onto the pads and it lobs to short leg. Zimbabwe have lost their first wicket. |
| 25.4 : 25.4: T Islam to Chari, OUT! LBW! The decision stays as it is and Zimbabwe lose both - Chari and a review! Poor shot by the opener. Flighted delivery outside off stump, Chari goes for the paddle sweep but misses it and gets rapped on the pads. Taijul appeals loudly and umpire Dharmasena gives it out after a long thought. Chari has a chat with Taylor and then decides to go for the review. Impact is in line and wickets hitting. Zimbabwe lose their review. They have lost both their openers. He was |
| 36.5 : 36.5: M Rahman to Williams, FOUR! Easy pickings for Williams, a leg stump half volley and the batsman just picks it and puts it for four towards deep square leg. No fielder present in the deep there. |
| 37.1 : 37.1: T Islam to Taylor, FOUR! Very full and quick this time, Taylor quickly positions himself and drives it away for a four toward the extra cover boundary. |
| 38.2 : 38.2: M Rahman to Williams, OUT! Bowled 'em! What a delivery from the Fizz out of nowhere! The ball lands on length just outside off, moves in slightly after landing. Completely squares up Williams who plays for the wrong line while trying to defend. The ball hits the top of off stump. This wicket should pump up the Bangladeshis. |
| 46.5 : 46.5: K Ahmed to S Raza, FOUR! Shot! No stopping this one. Raza stands tall inside the crease, fetches a short ball from outside off and pulls it with authority in front of square leg for a cracking boundary. This shot will give a lot of confidence to Raza. |
| 47.6 : 47.6: Islam to Raza, OUT! GONE! Taijul picks up his second of the innings, his 18th of the series, making it the best outing for him in a Test series. Sikandar Raza departs. The bowler comes from around the wicket and loops it up on the stumps. There is some turn away as Raza looks to whip this away through mid-wicket. Is a bit early into the shot and he mistimes it to the left of the bowler. Taijul gets low and takes a sharp catch. Zimbabwe sink a bit deeper. |
| 48.5 : 48.5: K Ahmed to Moor, FOUR! Beautiful drive from PJ Moor. Full and outside off, Moor gets it in the middle of the bat and drives it towards the cover boundary for four runs. |
| 53.1 : 53.1: T Islam to Taylor, FOUR! Poor line from Taijul. Tosses it up on the pads, Brendan Taylor leans ahead and lofts it cleanly over mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 54.4 : 54.4: M Hasan to Taylor, FOUR! Taylor loves playing the reverse sweep and is so confident every time he attempts it. Picks the ball from middle and puts it to the right of short third man and into the boundary. |
| 55.1 : 55.1: T Islam to Taylor, FOUR! Fearless shot from Taylor. Taijul comes over the wicket and bowls it full and at the pads. Taylor sweeps it away for a wonderful boundary. |
| 68.5 : 68.5: M Haque to Taylor, FOUR! That is a really good shot. Full toss which is rightly punished. Brendan Taylor takes a step out of the crease and clears mid on with a lovely swing. Boundary results. With this, the 50-run stand is also up. |
| 70.2 : 70.2: Haque to Taylor, FOUR! Tossed up in line of the stumps, Taylor lofts it straight back over the bowler's head for a boundary. |
| 70.3 : 70.3: M Haque to Taylor, FOUR! A juicy full toss on this occasion and the result in the same. Brendan Taylor smashes it over mid on and finds the fence again. |
| 71.5 : 71.5: M Hasan to Moor, OUT! Moor is out of here. Mehidy strikes on his return to the attack. Bowls it slower through the air, full on the stumps, PJ Moor strides forward to defend. It spins in and takes the inner portion, before flying to Kayes at short leg. Initially, he fumbles, but manages to take it on the second attempt. Useful partnership of 66 comes to an end. |
| 73.3 : 73.3: M Hasan to Taylor, FOUR! Better. More power, better timing and the placement is perfect. Brendan Taylor kneels down and sweeps it through backward square leg for a boundary. |
| 75.2 : 75.2: M Hasan to Chakabva, OUT! He is gone. Oh, dear. A rather suicidal run out. The call was Brendan Taylor's. He works this in front of square leg and both batsmen take off after Taylor sets off. Haque from mid-wicket runs to his right, gets to the ball and fires it to Rahim. He takes the ball, whips the bails off as Regis dives in. It's taken upstairs and replays show he's short. |
| 77.3 : 77.3: M Hasan to D Tiripano, OUT! There's the unpredictable nature of the surface. This one just bites off the surface, comes in with extra bounce. Tiripano goes deep inside the crease but is caught by surprise due to the bounce. It goes off his glove and into Liton Das' hands at short leg. Brendan Taylor must be regretting his decision to take a single on the very first ball. |
| 80.1 : 80.1: T Islam to Taylor, FOUR! Goes with the spin on this occasion. Takes the aerial route and gets the desired result. Taylor lofts it cleanly over covers for a boundary. |
| 81.2 : 81.2: M Hasan to Mavuta, OUT! Caught by Taijul at square leg ! Tossed up on middle, Mavuta can't resist and goes for a slog. It hits the top edge and goes a mile in the air. Taijul has enough time to come under and position himself well before taking an easy catch. No intention to block at all. |
| 82.6 : 82.6: K Ahmed to Taylor, FOUR! Right in the slot and that nearly goes all the way! Full ball on the stumps, Taylor throws his front leg out of the way and bangs it over mid on. |
| 83.1 : 83.1: M Hasan to Jarvis, OUT! That's it. BANGLADESH WIN BY 218 RUNS! This is their second-largest victory in Tests in terms of runs. Mehidy Hasan wraps things up with his 5th Test 5-fer. He nicely tosses it up around off, it turns in and Jarvis gets low to play the big slog sweep. He ends up mistiming the lofted shot towards mid on. Ahmed backpedals and takes a safe catch. |
