3.22 pm Zimbabwe have been bowled out with a lead of 320. They were 101 for 2 at one time, but Bangladesh's spinners - Taijul finishes with 11 wickets in the game - have managed to knock them off that advantage, but have they done enough to secure victory? No team has chased so many runs to win a Test match in Bangladesh. Bangladesh's own highest successful chase at home is 101 against Zimbabwe in 2014.

Taijul Islam to Chatara, OUT, big appeal for lbw and umpire Kettleborough gives it. Chatara asks for the review, and it seems like he thinks he's hit it. Replays show he has, but the ball strikes pad first, before the bat comes into contact. This doesn't look good for Zimbabwe. The skidder is in line with middle stump. It straightens just enough, and does so at good pace, to trouble the batsman. Ball-tracking comes up - three reds - he's out

Taijul Islam to Chatara, FOUR, again, he heaves it over midwicket even though there's a man placed out on the boundary this time. And with that strike, Bangladesh will have to break the record to win a Test match here.

Bharat khurana: "It's very hard to get which team is in trouble.My bet on Zimb"

Galen: "Highest chase in Bangladesh is 317 by NZ"

Nazmul Islam to Mavuta, OUT, taken at deepish mid-off. Two wickets in the over, to not especially great deliveries, but that's expected at the tail-end of a batting line up. Mavuta makes room to belt a length ball. But in making space for himself, he ruins his chances of making good connection. Toe-end strike goes straight up and Ariful takes a simple catch

Nazmul Islam to Jarvis, no run, beats him with a teaser, angled into middle and ripping away past the batsman's front-foot poke.

Kyle Jarvis now. Zimbabwe lead by 311.

Nazmul Islam to Chakabva, OUT, caught at short cover! That's not what you do with a half-volley. Having looked fairly solid in defence, he goes for the drive - and it's wide enough to drive too - only he fails to place and he's utterly peeved with himself for the mistake. Spins around in disgust, hacking his bat at the air, before walking off.

Jim: "Zimbabwe should either score a quick 60 runs more or grind out the session without getting bowled out to be in driver's seat."

Taijul Islam to Mavuta, SIX, slogs the length ball over wide long-on. Massive hit. Brave too, considering he's going against the turn

Arbab : "BD Test Players perhaps need a lesson in patience, perseverance, grit and determination from Tushar Imran. Just a few hundred kilometers away from Sylhet, Khulna Divison is playing Rangpur Divison in the National Cricket League. When Khulna's top order got out cheaply, Tushar decided to drop anchor and make the bowlers work for his wicket. He stayed at the crease for over 2 hours, playing 87 balls for 19 runs. If Khulna manages to win or draw the match, it will be because of Tushar's effort."

Taijul Islam to Chakabva, no run, shapes to cut, but the ball goes through under his bat, missing the edge and also missing the off stump. Oh, we're going to have fun in the fourth innings... Maybe not the Bangladesh batsmen though.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz to Mavuta, no run, gets this one to hold its line on middle and Mavuta, as he defends with bat in front of pad, gets a bit of an edge

The debutant Brandon Mavuta's in now

Mehidy Hasan Miraz to WP Masakadza, OUT, lbw to the slider but Wellington goes for a review. This is beautiful bowling. Pitching it right up on off stump, the undercutter meant to go on with the arm. Wellington goes back - which is a poor call - and is rushed by the ball zipping through to him, pinning him in front of middle. DRS gives out three reds and umpire Tucker's decision stands

Mehidy Hasan Miraz to WP Masakadza, no run, lets a good length ball outside off go - and it is ever so close to off stump too. Gorgeous bowling from Mehidy
