Newman Nyamhuri to Khaled Ahmed, out Bowled!! Khaled Ahmed is the last man out. A pinpoint yorker by Newman Nyamhuri. Khaled Ahmed tries to whip it away, but gets outfoxed by this peach. The middle pole goes for a toss and Bangladesh have been cleaned up for 140. 8 wickets for 64 runs in that session in nearly 23 overs. Khaled Ahmed b Newman Nyamhuri 0(3)

Blessing Muzarabani to Hasan Mahmud, out Caught by Brian Bennett!! Nine down. Pitched up by Blessing Muzarabani around off, the ball nips away sharply as Hasan Mahmud goes for a flashy drive. The ball takes the outside edge and flies to gully, Bennett stationed there takes a sharp low catch, and Bangladesh are on the verge of getting bowled out. The Zimbabwean pacers continue to impress, and the catching has been top notch too. Hasan Mahmud c Brian Bennett b Blessing Muzarabani 0(3)

Newman Nyamhuri to Taijul Islam, out Caught by Tafadzwa Tsiga!! The procession of wickets continues. Make that six wickets in this session. Pitched up by Newman Nyamhuri outside off, hint of away swing, Taijul Islam goes for a flashy drive through the off-side and the outside edge has been taken by the keeper to his left. Got low and grabbed it. Newman Nyamhuri is happy as he has taken his third wicket of the innings. Bangladesh in danger of getting bowled out in this session itself. They are finding life difficult against the Zimbabwean bowlers. The ball is moving around, and the pacers are landing the ball in right areas. Taijul Islam c Tafadzwa Tsiga b Newman Nyamhuri 9(13) [4s-2]

Newman Nyamhuri to Taijul Islam, FOUR, pitched up by the bowler outside off, Taijul Islam square drives it through backward point for the second boundary of the over

Newman Nyamhuri to Taijul Islam, FOUR, short ball outside off, Taijul Islam plays it on the rise, carving it away to the third man region. Was in the air for a bit, but in the gap

Blessing Muzarabani to Amite Hasan, out Caught by Tafadzwa Tsiga!! Blessing Muzarabani gets his first wicket of the match. Not often do you see him wait for a such a long time to take a wicket. Irrespective of the format. Good length delivery outside off, kicks off the surface as Amite Hasan has a poke at it. Gets a regulation outside edge, and the keeper takes a comfortable catch behind the wickets. Zimbabwe on top as they have taken the fifth wicket of the session. This is bowling of the highest order by the Zimbabwean pacers. It has been a collapse since that dismissal of Mominul, earlier in this session. None of the batters have looked comfortable against the lanky pacers. Amite Hasan c Tafadzwa Tsiga b Blessing Muzarabani 4(15)

Richard Ngarava to Towhid Hridoy, out Caught by Tafadzwa Tsiga!! Edged and taken! Not great technique by Towhid Hridoy on that occasion. Got himself into a tangle, by shuffling across slightly. Tried to work it across the line, closed his bat in the process and the outside edge flies straight to the keeper, who takes a good low catch. Was pitched up by the bowler outside off, and he is absolutely delighted. Not a great Test debut for Towhid Hridoy who walks back early. Fourth wicket of the session for Zimbabwe. Towhid Hridoy c Tafadzwa Tsiga b Richard Ngarava 3(16)

Richard Ngarava to Mushfiqur, out Bowled!! The dropped catch hasn't cost much. That's a lovely yorker and Mushfiqur Rahim gets completely outfoxed. A toe crushing yorker by the pacer, it swung in sharply, and Mushfiqur Rahim couldn't read it. Tries to squeeze it out, but gets undone due to the late movement and finds his stump rattled. Richard Ngarava is pumped up, and Zimbabwe have taken the third wicket of the session. Bangladesh in a spot of bother as they have lost half their side. Mushfiqur b Richard Ngarava 9(21) [4s-2]

Richard Ngarava to Mushfiqur, FOUR, pitched up by the bowler outside off, Mushfiqur Rahim goes for a drive, gets an outside edge that flies towards third slip. The fielder stationed there tries to grab it, but fails to latch onto it. The ball bursts through and races away to the fence. Curran the fielder who dropped it

Brad Evans to Najmul Hossain Shanto, out Caught by Tafadzwa Tsiga!! An ugly slog and Shanto's troubled stay comes to an end - a nothing shot really, tried to attack Evans and chose the wrong option, danced down the pitch, swung across the line and gets a thin edge, just about carried to Tafadzwa Tsiga and the Zimbabweans wheel away in celebration. Shanto is absolutely livid with himself as he walks back to the pavilion. Zimbabwe have once again struck on the cusp of a drinks break. Najmul Hossain Shanto c Tafadzwa Tsiga b Brad Evans 19(73) [4s-2]

Newman Nyamhuri to Mushfiqur, FOUR, fraction short and just outside off - Mushfiqur quickly gets into a good position on the pull, swivels across and then hammers it wide of mid-wicket. A big chase from Evans, but the ball wins the race, off the mark in some style - Mushfiqur Rahim

Newman Nyamhuri to Mominul, out Caught by Ervine!! Edged and caught! You can't say Nyamhuri didn't deserve it, he had Najmul Hossain Shanto all at sea, but it's Mominul who succumbs finally. Nice channel outside off, back of a length and leaving the left-hander, it's the extra bounce which undid Mominul here, was trying it ride it on the steer, gets a healthy edge instead and it's straight into the hands of Ervine at second slip. Mominul c Ervine b Newman Nyamhuri 60(81) [4s-12]

Newman Nyamhuri to Najmul Hossain Shanto, 1 leg bye, short of a good length and jagging back into the left-hander, Shanto is beaten on the inside edge and the ball pops up high off the thigh-pad. Over Bennett's head and he leaps to get a hand onto it, but can't prevent the leg-bye

Newman Nyamhuri to Mominul, FOUR, short and wide of off, plenty of width on offer as Mominul slashed, gets a top-edge that flies over the slip cordon and onto the ropes

Newman Nyamhuri to Najmul Hossain Shanto, FOUR, Shanto decides to play fire with fire - wasn't all that convincing as he dragged the on-drive back past the non-striker. Went hard on the shot and the inside edge beat mid-on to his left

Newman Nyamhuri to Mominul, FOUR, short, wide and four, this is a poor over from Nyamhuri, has bowled on both sides of the wicket - width on offer now and Mominul has clattered it past point, brings up another Test fifty as well

Newman Nyamhuri to Mominul, byes, FOUR, poor ball from Nyamhuri, went for the leg-stump yorker and pushed it well down leg, the ball swings away further and gives Tafadzwa Tsiga no chance

Newman Nyamhuri to Mominul, FOUR, lovely, fuller length delivery and well wide of off - Mominul leans across into the drive and finds the gap past cover-point, no need to run for those

Brad Evans to Mominul, FOUR, shot! Mominul walks down the pitch, converts it into a full delivery on the pads and flicks it uppishly through the mid-wicket region

Brad Evans to Mominul, FOUR, third four in the over. That might be the last for Evans in this session. This was a tired delivery - straying down leg, Mominul helps it along to fine leg and beats the desperate dive from the fielder

Brad Evans to Mominul, FOUR, shot! That's the best shot Mominul has played this morning. Full and slanted in, Mominul presents the full face of the bat, does not try to overhit the drive and just eases it past mid-on

Brad Evans to Mominul, FOUR, lovely shot! Evans shouldn't be disappointed. He went full searching for the swing and paid the price. Mominul gets a good stride in, meets the ball on top of the bounce and caresses it through the cover region

Richard Ngarava to Najmul Hossain Shanto, no run, dropped! Ben Curran can't hold on at third slip. Back of a length delivery, swings away and squares up Shanto, he has to play because the line is on off-stump and the outside-edge goes to the right of third slip. Curran bends down and gets both hands but can't cling on. That's a regulation slip catch and should have been pouched. Ngarava not happy..

Brad Evans to Najmul Hossain Shanto, FOUR, nicely played! Short ball around off, Shanto gets on top of the bounce and rolls his wrists over to keep the pull down, places it square on the leg-side and picks up his first boundary

Newman Nyamhuri to Mominul, FOUR, loses his line and pays the price. Full delivery angling into the pads, Mominul clips it uppishly over square leg and picks up a boundary. It was aerial but there was no fielder in that region

Brad Evans to Shadman Islam, out Caught by Ervine!! Edged and caught! Evans strikes in the first over and Zimbabwe have struck twice inside the first hour - lovely channel from the right-handed pacer, hits the deck around off and gets it to move away sharply - Shadman is drawn into the push, he perhaps didn't need to play at that, but he does so with hard hands. The extra bounce catches the edge and it flies to second slip - Ervine arches back, goes reverse cupped and holds onto a good catch. Bangladesh have lost both openers as the players take drinks on day 1. Shadman Islam c Ervine b Brad Evans 20(38) [4s-3]

Blessing Muzarabani to Shadman Islam, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries for Shadman - too short and too wide from Muzarabani - Shadman gets on top of the bounce and crashes the cut past cover for a boundary

Newman Nyamhuri to Mominul, FOUR, that's a gift and Mominul accepts it with glee, a wide full-toss - Mominul leans across, opens the face of the bat and then beats backward point to his left with the steer

Newman Nyamhuri to Mahmudul Hasan Joy, out Caught by Tafadzwa Tsiga!! Mahmudul Hasan Joy isn't happy, but we don't have DRS here and he'll have to go. Nyamhuri strikes in his first over, shortened the length and got it to nip back into the right-hander - Mahmudul was cut in half as he looked to cover the line with a hop, did the ball brush his glove on its way to the keeper? The umpire was sure, so were the Zimbabweans and Mahmudul will have to walk off. Mahmudul Hasan Joy c Tafadzwa Tsiga b Newman Nyamhuri 2(17)

Richard Ngarava to Shadman Islam, FOUR, streaky and four, fuller length delivery and a hint of swing across the left-hander, drags Shadman forward into the push, but he did so with soft hands, came off the outer half and goes wide of the diving fielder at gully
