OUT! Caught. Taijul Islam to Tendai Chatara. Stock length ball, off stump on the front foot defending, mis-timed to silly point, by Das. Chatara goes first ball and that is the end of the innings. Zimbabwe will be disappointed they weren't able to build on the foundations laid yesterday.

OUT! Run Out. Tendai Chatara to Ariful Haque. Seaming in back of a length, off stump on the back foot working, to short mid wicket, fielded by Taylor, by Chatara.

Tendai Chatara to Ariful Haque. Length ball, off stump no foot movement working, hit pad to silly point for no runs, fielded by Mavuta.
OUT! L.B.W. Verified by umpire after REFERRAL. Taijul Islam to Tendai Chatara. Quicker length ball, off stump on the back foot defending, hit pad to. Taijul gets a five wicket haul for the second time in the match. He had enough of the number eleven hitting it to the fence, so fired in a real quick one. Chatara went back, and was trapped on the back leg. Review taken after the umpire raised his finger, and the technology confirms the decision was correct.
So, Bangladesh will need 321 runs to win. An extremely tough chase in the fourth innings in this part of the world. Batting is not impossible, though, so they will just have to do things in small steps. Zimbabwe huge favourites still.
FOUR! Taijul Islam to Tendai Chatara. Stock ball half volley, middle stump on the front foot Slog, well timed in the air under control past long on for 4 runs. Same again. Chatara wants to get a few quick runs before it's all over. Shovelled over wide mid on for four.
FOUR! Taijul Islam to Tendai Chatara. Stock ball half volley, off stump on the front foot slog sweeping, well timed in the air under control past deep mid wicket for 4 runs. Front leg out the way, and Chatara dispatches it over the legside for a one bounce four.

OUT! Caught. Nazmul Islam to Brandon Mavuta. Stock length ball, off stump backing away driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long off, by Haque. Mavuta goes down hitting. He jumps outside leg stump, looking to pump it over mid off, but it comes right off the toe. Fielder doesn't have to move, and he pouches with ease.

OUT! Caught. Nazmul Islam to Regis Chakabva. Stock ball half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed to short extra cover, by Mahmudullah. That's a soft way to go. Juicy half volley, which is fiercy struck, but he hits it straight into the hands of the Bangladeshi captain at short extra cover. Should've been put away to the fence, instead he is walking back to the pavilion.

Taijul Islam to Brandon Mavuta. Stock length ball, middle stump on the back foot defending, back to bowler for no runs, fielded by Islam.
SIX! Taijul Islam to Brandon Mavuta. Stock length ball, off stump on the front foot Slog, well timed in the air under control over long on for 6 runs. So much risk in doing that, but it pays off!

OUT! L.B.W. Verified by umpire after REFERRAL. Mehedi Hasan to Wellington Masakadza. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the back foot defending, hit pad to. Mehedi beat the bat with a snorter a few deliveries ago. That one really turned, but it's the delivery that skids on that gets the wicket. Masakadza was expecting spin, didn't get it, and was late in adjusting his shot. Pinned on the back foot, and was absolutely plumb. A hopeful review is lost when three reds come up on the replay.

FOUR! Mominul Haque to Regis Chakabva. Stock ball back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot cutting, well timed past deep point for 4 runs. Finishes off the session in style. Chakabva leans back, and slaps this away in front of point for four.
A decent couple of hours for the hosts, but they are still behind in the match. A psychological boost for Zimbabwe having got over a 300 lead. They have been stubborn and grinded the runs out. What can they get up to? Find out after the tea interval.

OUT! Caught. Wellington Masakadza to Ariful Haque. Stock length ball, off stump on the front foot slog sweeping, top edge in the air uncontrolled to silly mid on, by Chakabva. There it is! Zimbabwe win a Test for the first time in over five years, and a first away win for seventeen years! Tossed up, invited the big shot, and Ariful heaves against the spin and across the line. Huge top edge, the keeper calls for it early, and ends up taking it next to the bowler.
What a victory this is. Not many saw this coming. Bangladesh are difficult to beat in their own backyard, and winning in sub-continent conditions for this side is remarkable. That first innings lead was the key to them pulling it off. Sean Williams and Peter Moor both with gritty knocks. All the bowlers ended up contributing across both innings. An all round team effort. The hosts will be bitterly disappointed with their showing, especially with the bat. Expect them to improve in the next Test. So Zimbabwe go 1-0 up with one to play. Join us on Sunday for the start of the next Test.

SIX! Wellington Masakadza to Ariful Haque. Stock ball half volley, outside off stump down the track driving, well timed in the air under control over long off for 6 runs.

OUT! L.B.W. Verified by umpire after REFERRAL. Brandon Mavuta to Nazmul Islam. Leg spinner length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, hit pad to. Gone first ball. Top bowling from Mavuta again. Draws Nazmul forward, beats the inside edge, and it thuds into the front pad. Took a while for the umpire to raise the finger, so a review is taken by the Bangladeshi. No bat, umpire's call on impact, and umpire's call on hitting the stumps! Just close enough for the decision to stand. Zimbabwe are one away.
FOUR! Wellington Masakadza to Ariful Haque. Stock ball half volley, down leg side on the front foot slog sweeping, well timed in the air under control past deep mid wicket for 4 runs.

OUT! Caught. Wellington Masakadza to Taijul Islam. Stock ball half volley, off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to mid on, by Taylor. Bangladesh folding.

OUT! Caught. Brandon Mavuta to Mehedi Hasan. Leg spinner length ball, outside off stump on the front foot pushing, outside edge to wicketkeeper, by Chakabva. Mavuta on fire! He picks up his third, and Zimbabwe are charging towards victory. Beautiful bowling. Drift in, rags away, and it kissed the outside edge on the way through to the keeper. Chakabva snapped that up superbly, rising with the bounce and pouching it at shoulder height.
