Tasmeem: "The negative approach led Zimbabwe to a sub-par total. On this pitch, it shouldn't be a problem for Bangladesh to take a substantial lead."
Taron: "What was PJ Moor thinking blocking out despite having 4 tailend batsmen with him at the end? Where does he think the runs will come from? "
Mursalin Ansari: "The way this pitch has behaved so far, Bangladesh should come out with a positive intent to score quickly and get a healthy lead. The pitch will break; and when it breaks, it's gonna be a nightmare to bat in the fourth innings for sure."
11.47am At one stage, it looked like Zimbabwe were set for a 300-plus total but Bangladesh struck back after the drinks break as the visitors slipped from 261 for 5 to 282 all out. PJ Moor remained unbeaten on 63, while Taijul registered figures of 6 for 108. Don't go away, we might have an over before lunch.

Tendai Nyabadza: "With Mavuta and W Masakadza being debutants I think Jarvis should have come in earlier to build something with Moor at least he's seen enough to keep the wicket"
Umar: "@hasib Zimbabwe most definitely will have a strong footing in the game if they cross 300 and play out a session today."
Galib Mahmud: "Hasib, I guess they are considering 300 runs to be a respectable total for the Zimbabwe first innings. It may not indicate a winning total though. "
