Thanks, Shashwat. Bangladesh had been dominating on a flat batting surface since the morning. Shadman deserves a lot of praise for reaching his second Test Century. And for the visitors, Zimbabwe needs wickets here to get back into the contest. A change in the comms may bring some luck to the visiting team.

Ngarava to Shadman Islam, FOUR, a hundred to savour! A majestic shot to bring up a majestic century, and amid all the criticism around Bangladesh's batting and their openers, Shadman has let his bat do the talking! Full outside off and Shadman leans into the drive beautifully to caress it between extra cover and mid off. Takes off his helmet and acknowledges the appreciation of his teammates - this has been a superb knock and it has set Bangladesh on their way to a big first innings score!
