Kaitano's 87 the standout batting performance and Mehidy's five-for the standout bowling performance. The Zimbabwe top order did really well, and it seemed like their batting had ensured this game would definitely go to a draw. But the post-tea collapse now gives Bangladesh a big upper hand in this contest. There's one silver lining for Zimbabwe though, they avoided the follow on. When Bangladesh come to bat, there'll be Himanshu on commentary.

ball being sanitised.
Titas: "Bring Taskin back. I wish to see Blessing dance." -- I'm guessing Mominul has kept Taskin far away near the boundary to ensure there are no such dance offs in this Test.
Shakib here.
