Match Thread | Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh | Mirpur, Dhaka | 2020

I reckon we need 550, and still be batting in the final session on day 2. To survive in this match we need to bat really long.

Nice job Masvaure, 50 up. No better chance to make a hundred than today, he's set and there's no gremlins.

Zimbabwe are doing wonderful here. They can win this.

Welcome to the forum.

Our bowling attack is horrendous in this match. We've got no wicket taking options besides maybe Sikandar Raza.

Thanks. I visit this forum for many years but just started to post.

It's good to have you here, please stick around! I think most people here have a soft spot for Bangladesh and it's always good to have Bangladeshi fans posting.

Thank you. Hopefully will post here once in a while.

It is late here. I am off to bed. Zimbabwe should do well. They are looking positive.

See you later.

First session easily goes to Zimbabwe. Bangladesh had taken the first hour, beating the batsmen several times and getting Kasuza cheaply. But good fightback from Prince and Ervine.

BD will want to take at least 6 wickets by stumps to feel they've done well.

Ebadat hits Prince's pads every other over...he needs to come around the wicket to the left hander. Really dumb bowling.

can he make them pay for that? he looks to be tiring a bit half way through the day

[Jemisi]

a dour third hour but no wickets so

I think we learnt from the Sri Lanka series that the first innings is all about scoring as many as you can no matter the run rate. 350 is not enough on a good batting pitch. Better to take two days and score 500.

[Jemisi]

Well done these two. Not that many 100 partnerships for the second wicket in our history.

Ervine moves past Wishart on the test runs list
