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.

39.5
Richard Ngarava to Amite Hasan, no run, huge appeal for a caught behind, but the umpire isn't interested. There's no DRS available for this Test either. Was a length delivery around off and it had some extra carry. Amite Hasan tries to defend it, but gets beaten outside off. The Zimbabwean players were pretty confident there was some glove involved, but with no DRS available, they can't challenge it either. Replays confirm, it brushed the shirt on its way to the keeper. Good on-field decision

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 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..
