Have to admit, Meth has been very tight this series.

Have to admit, Meth has been very tight this series.

It's surprised me a bit, I thought his pace might be exposed too much at Test level. But he is swinging the red ball a huge amount so it does compensate I guess.

Shingi! He's really troubling them with his short balls.

The fielding was heading towards free fall. hope they get the intensity back now.

Cremer holds on to one! Ashraful gone, big wicket. Would like to see the back of Tamim though...

89-2 with a couple more chances, we're doing so poorly we'll gladly take that, but far from a perfect session. Jarvis hasn't looked threatening at all so far. Wonder if this pitch will assist spin more than the last one.

Is there any reason why both tests were played at harare, and not shared between harare and bulawayo?

To save on travel expenses.

It's cheaper.

I have been surprised too ... certainly it seems to compensate and our main aim is to win series. If he's troubles the Bengalis then let 'im at 'em - if he's exposed at the next level then sub him and keep him in the squad.

PS - feeling for Timy today and what? is Chaks going to open? killer!!

That is a huge wicket, I'm very glad to see Tamim out.
Considering our fielding has been up and down today, it's good we finally had one go our way.
