Zimbabwe hosting Bangladesh is long overdue considering the last six series between these teams have all been in Bangladesh.

Bangladesh missing Tamim and Zimbabwe missing Ervine and Williams. Big outs

I like this blessing bowler

I like this blessing bowler

He's a quality bowler, probably the best they've produced since Streak.

He’s got a lot of good assets

Kyle Jarvis was decent also

 

[Pippen94]

Good fightback from bangers who bat deep. Zimbabwe will miss Sean Williams

Would you say he's blessed?

I might ban myself for that.

You're not wrong about batting deep. Mahmudullah at 8 and Mehidy at 9!

 

[corbies]

To put Mahmudullah batting 8 into context he's Bangladesh's 6th leading run scorer of all time and his batting average of 32.39 is also 6th of all time for Bangladeshis with more than 6 test innings.

And now he's tonned up.

 

[Pippen94]

Taskin Ahmed batting average up to 45. Bowling average is 63!!

Taskin Ahmed batting average up to 45. Bowling average is 63!!

His batting average is 45?

9th wicket partnership broken after a 191 run stand. The 2nd highest 9th wicket stand in test history after Boucher and Symcox added 195 v Pakistan in 1998.

Sorry s/r 45 - I can't read

 

[jle101]

Good on Mahmudullah. Just kept on batting & batting. However, really impressed with Zimbabwe's new opening duo. Hopefully the Zimbos can keep their heads above water in day 3.

They should. Pitch doing nothing.

 

[t_94]

WTF are these rebel sports helmets the Zim players are wearing?

 

[Cleavy]

BREAKING: Bangladesh allrounder Mahmudullah has made a shock decision to retire from Test cricket. ESPNcricinfo has learnt he told his team-mates after Day 3 of the ongoing match against Zimbabwe in Harare

going out on a high, I guess?

 

[ioppolo]

I'm shocked to hear he is 35. Then again he was a kid at the 2007 world cup and that was 14 years ago now!

 

[PhatBoy]

Bizarre innings so far - Taylor hitting 92 off 70-odd, his batting partner 7 off 90
