3.06pm Mahmudullah calls his players in. Bangladesh have declared. Mushfiqur walks off acknowledging the crowd's cheers. Top innings from the little man. Holds the record for most Test double tons by a wicketkeeper, and the highest individual score by a Bnagladesh player. Bangladesh rack up 522. And to think they were 26 for 3 at one point. Mominul Haque was dropped on 9 yesterday. Had that catch been taken, this innings could have panned out very differently. But such is Test cricket. Lapses don't go unpunished so easily, and Zimbabwe have learned that the hard way. Big turn on offer, the cracks will start opening up given time. Zimbabwe must be completely deflated after nearly two days on the field. Can Bangladesh prey on that?
