2.12pm That will be tea on the fourth day. Bangladesh declare with a lead of 442. That means Zimbabwe need to pull off a world record chase to win this one. Four sessions to bat out for Zimbabwe. Not easy. They will be physically fatigued. Mentally fatigued. But they need to put it all behind, come out focused, and they have 20 minutes to recharge.
Simba: "@Rod i tend to disagree a bit there. He was part of a historic win for Zimbabwe in the first test. That should be a huge confidence boost. Of course he might have not done as well as he would have wanted in this test but playing with seniors at the moment can only make him grow in confidence especially after that win."
Mahmudullah. On 99. Could be the last ball before tea.

Rod: "selectors should give Mavuta a chance to grow in limited overs cricket before exposing him to the rigours of test cricket. these two tests will do him not much good and may destroy his confidence"

Tasmeem: "The commentator said the wide was called because Williams is using a negative tactic. What's the rule regarding that?" -- Need to give the batsman an opportunity to score. Can't keep bowling 'em down leg
Zimbabwe will now need a world record score to chase this down successfully (WI's 418 v AUS is the record)
