bohurupi: "Is Shanto's six sixes the highest by any Bangladeshi batter in test cricket?" --- Nope, it's the second highest. Tamim hit seven against Pakistan in 2015.

The Zimbabwe top order had done really well to get to 225 for the loss of just two wickets in the first innings before it all came crumbling down. How far can they fight this time against a charged up Shakib and Mehidy?

Sampath pings to remind that only two teams have got a bigger second-innings lead in Tests than Bangladesh's 476, while losing one or no wicket in their second innings.

George Macphers: "Would have been better to play out the remaining two deliveries to see if they could get anything off them." --- What more did you want?

Kevin: "If Zim draws this then their still serious about this game. They just can't keep collapsing everytime there's a huge score."

1.24pm Bangladesh set Zimbabwe 477 to win in just over four sessions. An absolute masterclass of a batting from both centurions Shadman and Shanto, who end with an unbeaten stand of 196. Only one wicket for the hosts today, as the sun coming out and making it easier for batting didn't help either.

Rahul: "What are they waiting for? Declare immediately!"

kjonga: "Hate to say it, but this match could be very well wrapped up by the end of the third and final session. Rearguard action has never been Zimbabwe's strong point, a hyped-up Bangladesh will tear through our feeble batting order that looks woefully short of anchors"
