10.4 Peach of a delivery! Good length ball pitching around the sixth stump line, Joy moves towards the line of the ball, slight deviation off the pitch, defends off the front foot and tickles off the outside edge of the bat, straightforward catch for Mayavo behind the stumps. Nyauchi strikes again! 32/2

8.4 Edged and taken! Length ball wide outside the off stump, Shadman plays the straight-drive away from the body, commits to the shot early and failed to struck the ball with the sweet part of the bat, outside edged to the gully fielder, Bennett dives to his front right side, completing a superb catch. 31/1

42.2 Drills it straight to mid wicket! What have you done, Mominul Haque! Generously flighted delivery tossed up wide outside off, over the wicket, premeditates the slog sweep shot, goes underneath and plays it with the inner part of the bat, clips it into the safe hands of Madhevere 136/5

31.5 straight to backward point, and the short-ball ploy pays off! Banged into the track outside off. Width to work with for Shanto and his eyes light up. He cannot keep it down, though, despite trying his best to roll his wrists. Guides it uppishly and picks out the fielder to absolute perfection. Muzarabani sports a beaming smile and Shanto trudges off disappointed, having gotten off to a start! 98/3

38.6 Soft dismissal! Short of a length ball on around the off stump, a bit of a loosener from Masakadza, Mushfiqur could have struck it anywhere through the on-side, clears the front leg and tries to swing it away over mid-wicket, did not get enough elevation and plays it flat, hits it straight to the short mid wicket fielder 123/4

60.2 goes straight up, and Jaker bites the dust! Given a bit of air and Jaker cannot resist the temptation to have a pop. Skips down the track, trying to smash it into the sea, but gets nowhere close to the pitch of the ball. Hacks across it a little too much and Curran, stationed at extra cover, makes no mistake. Vital wicket for Zimbabwe, and they will want to keep Bangladesh to a sub-200 total now! 191/9

43.1 Short delivery does the trick! Banged in short pitched ball attacking the stumps, extra bounce off the pitch, Miraz got stuck inside the crease, cramped for space, attempted to move away at the very last moment awkwardly, squats down while throwing his bat at it, tickles off the glove and a regulation catch for Mayavo behind the stumps 137/6

48.2 Short pitched delivery angling away with the turn down the leg-side, Taijul decides to swing it away down to fine leg, played with the turn while shuffling across the stumps, only managed to get a feather off the inside edge of the bat, good awareness from Mayavo behind the stumps, following the trajectory of the ball and completing the catch moving to his right side 146/7

59.3 knocks him over with a peach! Goes a little fuller, although this is still on a back of a length. But because Mahmud is expecting the short ball, his feet are stuck to concrete. Pokes at this ball that pitches on middle and off, and watches in disbelief as the ball jags past the outside edge and pings the top of middle and off. Excellent delivery, and Muzarabani has three for the day! 187/8

60.6 leg stump goes for a toss, and Bangladesh have been rolled over for 191 at Sylhet! Fizzed through on a length just outside off. Rana plays for the turn and in the end, plays for too much turn. The bat stays inside the line and a gap is created for the ball to breeze through. Leg stump is uprooted, and Bangladesh will not look back at this first innings very fondly! 191/10

20.6 Nahid Rana strikes again! Short of a good length ball on the fifth stump line, Bennett tries to cut it square, extra bounce and pace off the pitch, this one kept on going straight in line, finds the outside edge of the bat and a regulation catch for Jaker Ali behind the stumps 88/2

16.5 Short ball gets the better of Ben Curran! Banged in short pitched ball on the leg stump line, extra bounce off the pitch, Curran tried to move away from the line of the ball, only managed to tap it off the glove towards short leg, excellent low catch taken by Mominul Haque, diving forward and held on to it 69/1

21.3 Uprooted the off stump! Excellent line and length, kept on bowling on the probing channel and got the reward! Good length ball on the fifth stump line, moves towards the line of the ball and creates a gap between bat-pad, misses the line of the ball and goes through the defense, breaks the stumps 88/3

54.3 oh dear, what have you done Sean Williams?! Mehidy dangles the carrot outside off and Williams bites. He skips down the track, trying to go downtown but long off is placed exactly for the misstep. Williams slices across it too much and Mahmudul gets under it at long off. Has to wait an eternity for the ball to drop but when it does, he clings on. Williams throws his head back in disappointment, and then bends down with his hands on his knee. A hands-on-head moment too, and this is a wicket right against the run of play! 193/6

36.3 a few fractured appeals, and Shanto has indeed gone upstairs! Sharp back of a length delivery in the channel. Rears up and jags away, which prompts Ervine to try and shoulder arms. Bangladesh, though, think the ball might have grazed the glove or the bat as Ervine was trying to bail out of any possible stroke. Okay, hang on. Bangladesh might have plenty of merit in this. Looks like the ball has come right off the face of the bat. Clear spike on UltraEdge to substantiate that claim too, and Ervine has to walk back. Superb review, superb bowling, and Bangladesh have broken this threatening stand! 129/4

49.3 Forced to chop on! SHort of a length ball around the fifth stump line, Madhevere shuffles across and tries to play it late, cramped for space, plays off the back foot and finds the thick inside edge, dragged onto the stumps! 177/5

66.3 Trapped in front! Short of a length ball on the leg stump line, Mayavo bends down and clears the front leg, tries to whip it down to square leg area, misses the line of the ball and strikes the top of the front pad, massive appeal and given! Mayavo completes a quick chat with Masakadza and then decides to walk towards the dressing room. 218/7

68.3 Catch it is the cry, and taken! Generously flighted widish fuller length outside off, non-turner delivery, Masakadza goes for the big shot, whacks it with the toe end of the bat with no timing, hits it low and in the air to short cover, Shanto takes a well-composed fantastic low catch, diving forward. 223/8

74.5 Appeal for stumping from Jaker Ali, a polite one indeed! Flighted short of a length ball outside off, Muzarabani dances down the track and tries to hit it out of the park, misses the line of the ball as it kept low, Jaker Ali clipped the bails off swiftly. The third umpire spent a lengthy time checking the replays from different angles, which appeared to show Muzarabani's rear foot locked on the line when Jaker Ali broke the stumps. 259/9

80.2 goes straight up, and the new ball does the trick for Bangladesh and Mehidy! A five-wicket haul for Bangladesh's vice-captain - his first at home since December 2022, and Zimbabwe have been bowled out for 273! Given a bit of air on a length just outside off. Nyauchi has a wild slog across the line and makes a complete mess of it. Plenty of height on it but no distance whatsoever, and Taijul at extra cover completes the most regulation of catches! 273/10
