12:52pm An action-packed session, where it felt like a notable event was in the offing every few minutes. Zimbabwe rattled through three wickets early but then met a bit of resistance, with Jaker and Mahmud holding fort. Jaker, for almost the entirety of that partnership, trusted his partner with strike - sometimes even letting Mahmud face five balls in an over - but in the end, that came back to haunt Jaker and Bangladesh. Mahmud fell to Masakadza and Khaled followed him back to the shed a ball later, which forced Jaker to swing for the hills and ultimately perish in pursuit of quick runs.
Zimbabwe, of course, deserve plenty of credit for putting pressure on the hosts and asking those questions. Muzarabani was the pick of the bunch and Masakadza, when the time called, turned up for the visitors. Prior to the start of day four, they would have been happy chasing 174, but they will have to bat well on a surface that is still offering enough to the bowlers.
