1.05pm Zimbabwe may not have lasted the 50 overs but they have put on a really good total this time. Regis Chakabva opened today and his fifty carried Zimbabwe along at nearly five an over even as wickets fell at the other end. The hosts could have collapsed when Chakabva fell in the 35th over, at 172 for 5, but the experienced Sikandar Raza chaperoned them with his 17th ODI fifty. Ryan Burl crawled his way to 12 off 25 balls and then tore into Saifuddin, especially, for a cracking fifty studded with four sixes to finish on 59 off 43. Boy, does he love the leg side.

For Bangladesh, it baffles me why Tamim Iqbal didn't use a sixth bowler properly when Saifuddin had leaked 47 in his first five and the innings was just 27 overs down then. He didn't use Afif Hossain at all and brought on Mosaddek in the 40th over, which was way too late to get more than two overs out of him. Tamim is carrying a knee injury, so let's see whether it affects him in the chase. Hemant will join you for that soon enough.

Abdul Halim: "Very high task for the tigers. It's high time to prove why selectors picked Mithun, Mosaddek in the team. They keep failing to score runs and today is their last chance I guess."

Jrm: "If zimb get a good start from tha ball, they can seriously sniff a win today. Fighting total considering their bowling."

22 off his seventh over and now three wickets and eight runs off his eighth over. What a day for Saifuddin

Saifuddin on a hat-trick, what a day he has had. Can Zimbabwe play out the remaining nine balls?
