Zimbabwe v Bangladesh, only evidence, Harare, 3rd day

Zimbabwe 92 for 4 (38 Sibanda, Chakib 1-9) and 370 to lead Bangladesh 287 (Ashraful 73, Chakib 68, Vitor 4-66) by 175 runs

Strong all-round performance in Zimbabwe has given them a slight advantage in a competitive international match so far. The hosts batted their way to 83-run first innings advantage after bowling to aggressive success of Bangladesh in the medium and lower-order and extended the 175 is close to the game, but lost four wickets in the process.

Bangladesh were disappointed with their efforts, while at bat. Their batters were able to negotiate the movement and rhythm Vitor Brian Kyle Jarvis, but finally fell prey to poor shot selection and lack of concentration. Mohammad Ashraful, who hit a rare two-day warning, survived two chances in the first hour and a LBW appeal relies on a decision that was taken from a premature pull over the head of the gorge. Despite flirting with danger, took half a century, determined a cut point of trust.

Despite flirting with danger, Ashraful achieved depends on a secure half a century will pass through a point that seemed to settle him. Mahmudullah negotiated an attack on one of patience, but then meekly pulled a short ball - the one that should have sent more than half Wicket - square on the leg. Shakib Al Hasan took out a butterfly, which formed a strong partnership with Ashraful. A couple went well between the wickets, and constantly deals with short, even bowling by Elton Chigumbura, Chris Mpofu in an authoritative way.

Ashraful looked to bat for the day, but gave his wicket away trying to run a piece of ball past short, only succeed in getting a head start with Tatenda Taibu. With the anchor switch Chakib, Bangladesh still have lunch with relative ease, despite being 170 runs behind at the moment.

They returned to a hostile attack against Zimbabwe, which was a new ball available to them seven acquisitions. Mpofu, who was bowled with the old ball includes dinner, then shared the new ball with Vitoria, a business that was impressive. Both bowlers started bowling too short, but it does not cost much. Shakib to become the first victim, when he came out and cut delivery Mpofu, who was not full enough to drive.

The captain of Bangladesh disappeared bowlers alternated with full deliveries and bouncers forced Abdur Razzak deal with a good line. It did not last long and was out LBW to a full Mpofu jet that hit the bottom before the strain of the medium. Mushfiqur Rahim has played a stroke patient, but after negotiating a barrage of short balls, played at the end, pull a blunt and was caught at deep square leg.

Jarvis has finally claimed his first test wicket, bowling Shafiul Islam throughout the diet, which maintained the line and sent to the offstump falling out of the country. Rubel Hossain had a great time, sending the ball flies over the slip cordon and a half in the top four, but it was a Last Man Standing, the LBW Robiul Islam out of the ever-bubbly Ray Price.

Having seen the fight batters Bangladesh, Zimbabwe's openers made a cautious start and Shafiul Robiul Islam was more consistent than they were in the first innings, mixed their supplies complete with their short beat them. During the first ten overs, had Vusi Sibanda Tinotenda Mawoyo and scored only 25 runs.

But Shakib Al Hasan once for a ride early on, and Abdur Razzak grew up, he did not apply the same pressure as the seamers, with Sibanda lofted him down the ground for six cylinders. Mahmudullah replaced him, but lasted only two overs, as he did in the first innings, before Shakib occurred.

Rubel was the most impressive QuickSet Bangladesh and bowled a good pace with good control. His prize was an average of the potential supply, however, short ball, he was there to shoot. Sibanda obliged, but was caught at midwicket. Mawoyo was sensitive to the other end, choose to leave deliveries outside offstump, but after a brief pause in his delivery from Robiul offstump uprooted, cut their way into the gap between BAT and pad.

Final counters Masakadza Hamilton, who gave a Chakib captured and shot, and Ray Price, who was out LBW Razzak, Bangladesh gave players something to be cheerful about at the end of the day, and dragged back into a game that escapes them.
