	29.3 well, well, that is the unlikeliest of wicket-taking deliveries, but it still gets Bangladesh the breakthrough, Mawoyo has thrown away a debut 50, it was short, wide, nothing delivery actually, he had to reach out a long way to get to it, and cut it straight to sweeper cover who accepted it happily 102/1

	103.6 Masakadza is gone, finally Bangladesh have broken through, the full length it is, the full length that makes Masakadza drive away from the body for once, and it moves away late to produce the edge that flies to wide slip, who moves to his left to snap the sharp take, first Test wicket for Robiul, he is relieved 304/3

	E Chigumbura	c Shafiul Islam b Shakib Al Hasan	5	18	12	1	0	41.66
	115.3 the pressure is getting to Zimbabwe, Elton tries to hit his way out of trouble, goes down forcefully on a knee for the sweep from around leg stump, but the top edge loops tamely to deep backward square leg, who seems to have it covered, but it pops out of his hands, he dives forward and scrambles to hold on to the ball eventually as he falls to the ground 326/6
	RW Price	lbw b Rubel Hossain	4	18	16	1	0	25.00

48.4 to Shakib Al Hasan, that could be the game, Shakib falls to a nothing shot, he has been threatening to do this right from the time he came in, and has perished outside off stump, length ball going across some way outside off, no need to do anything with it, but he goes pushing at it with an angled blade, and second slip gets low and forward to his right to accept the gift, Taylor takes out his opposite number and celebrates 174/6 54.1 to Abdur Razzak, bowled 'em, Elton goes through his defenses, Razzak's cameo is over, full delivery on the stumps from round the wicket, he goes for another big hoick over mid on, misses, and the ball clatters in to off stump 224/8
CB Mpofu	10	0	51	3	5.10	(1nb)
13.5 to Tamim Iqbal, bowled 'em, Mpofu has gone for a run after uprooting Tamim's off stump, the changed angle has worked, Mpofu angles it in from a length, Tamim opts to shoulder arms, the leaving has been generally very good in this game, but to Tamim's horror, it carried on coming in with the angle to shatter the off stump, Zimbabwe's joy is boundless, they have got the big one 65/1 47.4 to Mahmudullah, Mpofu gets his man, Mahmudullah perishes outside off, he had been going after wide deliveries, saw this one pitched a bit short and went for the cut without any foot movement, and it bounced to take the edge on its way to Taibu, who celebrates and is lifted off the ground by a delighted Price 167/5 49.3 to Mushfiqur Rahim, they are falling apart now, Mpofu fires in the full delivery on the stumps, Rahim sets himself up for the flick, and hits it straight in the air to square leg, Price and Mpofu do the celebratory jig and tap their legs together 174/7
