Sampath also tells me that Masekesa is the fourth Zimbabwe player to take a five-wicket haul on Test debut.

Here's Sampath with a stat. Century and ten-wicket match haul in the same series in men's Tests:

Tony Greig

Ian Botham (x3)

Richard Hadlee

Imran Khan (x2)

Wasim Akram (x2)

Shakib Al Hasan

Mehidy Hasan Miraz

2:23pm A stirring response from Bangladesh after their mishaps with the bat in Sylhet. Shadman set the tone at the start, registering just his second Test hundred before Mehidy dominated proceedings, also nothing up his second Test ton. In between, there were contributions from Anamul, Mominul and Shanto, with Taijul and Tanzim also doing their bit alongside Mehidy later in the innings. Eight Bangladesh batters got past the 20-run mark and that propensity to not lose wickets in clumps set this innings apart from Zimbabwe's.

The visitors, on the other hand, looked jaded towards the end, and had to work very hard throughout. Their spinners were threatening at times but not as consistent as their counterparts, meaning they had to endure long barren spells. Muzarabani and Ngarava tried their best but on a surface that was offering little, could not be as penetrative as they were in Sylhet. A 217-run deficit is huge to wipe off (not to mention going ahead enough to pose a fourth-innings challenge) but that is what Zimbabwe will have to do to ensure they do not let the hosts level this series.

One ball to survive in the over for Mahmud
