BAN vs ZIM Live Cricket Score

8.5 OUT! Another one falls! Poor, extremely poor execution of the shot by Liton Das. Jarvis roars in delight. He angles in a length ball on middle and Das spots the opportunity to play the flick shot. He gets it away from the middle of his bat too but fails to keep it down. Brandon Mavuta manning the mid-wicket region makes no mistake and Bangladesh lose their second wicket. The umpire quickly checks upstairs for the no ball but Kyle is fine with his front foot landing. Perfect start for Zimbabwe after losing the toss.  16/2

6.4 OUT! Chakabva takes a stunner! Kayes departs for a 16-ball duck. A good beginning for Zimbabwe. Both their pacers were probing in good areas and finally, there is some success. After bowling an outswinger on the previous ball, Jarvis delivers a length ball around off and gets it to straighten from there. Kayes tries to defend it by bringing down a straight bat but it kisses the inside part of his bat and flies behind. Chakabva shows excellent reflexes as he dives across full length to his right to take a ripper. Just to complete the formality, they appeal and the finger goes up. Kayes starts to walk. A dismal outing yet again for him after a great ODI series.  13/1

85.4 OUT! Finally a breakthrough for Zimbabwe! They have toiled hard for this. Mominul was dropped very early in the innings in the same area by Brian Chari but this time he makes no mistake. The second new ball has done the trick for the visiting team. Chatara angles it away from the batsman. It's on a fuller length and Mominul tries to play a loose drive away from his body. It takes the outside half of the bat as he slices it in the air towards gully where Chari takes a good low catch. End of a monumental partnership and a stupendous knock by Mominul. He was dropped on 9 and 25, truly made Zimbabwe pay heavily.  292/4

11.1 OUT! Zimbabwe all over Bangladesh like a rash! What on earth was going in the mind of the debutant? Poor, once again very poor from a Bangla batsman. Tiripano delivers a very full delivery wide outside off. It could have been left alone but Mithun chases it away from his body and tries to squeeze it through point. Needless, completely needless. The ball takes the outside edge of his bat and flies straight into the hands of Taylor at second slip, who takes it gleefully. A duck on Test debut for Mithun. Zimbabwe making a statement. They want a series win.  26/3

89 OUT! Oh, hello! There is some spike on the Ultra Edge and the nightwatchman departs. The appeal wasn't convincing but Jarvis was very sure and convinced his skipper to take the review. He has hit the jackpot. A back of a length delivery angling away from the batsman, Taijul stays back footed inside the crease and has a tame push inside the line. He seems to have missed it but as soon as Chakabva collects the ball, Kyle goes up in a big appeal. Not much support from behind and we also thought that there was nothing. The umpire shakes his head but seeing Jarvis' enthusiasm, Hamilton Masakadza takes the DRS. All thanks to that, they have a wicket at the fag end.  299/5

121.3 OUT! Caught behind! Jarvis has got the breakthrough! Zimbabwe get a wicket immediately after the break. On a length outside off, Mahmudullah looks to defend but the ball moves away a touch, takes the outside edge and goes through to the keeper! Certainly did not expect this after Lunch. We all flat that the ball will turn but here, seam movement is visible. End of a dogged innings from the captain. The 73-run stand is broken.  372/6

127.1 OUT! Caught at gully, Good length and outside off again, Ariful plays a lazy shot. Tries to punch it on the up, but it takes a thick edge that carries to Brian Chari at gully. Jarvis picks up his 5th wicket. Considering that Zimbabwe are a bowler down, he has stepped up beautifully. The visitors are now into the tail. Can they restrict Bangladesh under 400?  378/7

14.1 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Breakthrough for Bangladesh. Taijul tosses it up on middle, the ball spins away, Masakadza leans forward to defend but gets the outside edge of the bat. The ball goes straight to the first slip fielder Mehidy Hasan who takes a good catch. Big wicket for Bangladesh in the closing stages of the day.  20/1

41.4 OUT! Yes, Ultra Edge shows some spike, which means it has just about flicked the glove. Chari has to walk back minutes before Lunch. He is not happy, not sure with the decision or with the mode of the dismissal. This is bowled down the leg side, Chari looks to pad it away but the ball hits him on the thigh pad and then lobs up and goes extremely close to his gloves. Mominul at short leg takes it and appeals. The umpire shakes his head. The fielder though feels there is something and he wants it to be reviewed. Mahmudullah does so. Time for the replays and it shows a spike as the ball passes the glove. Although, it's a bit uncertain that the spike is exactly after the ball is kissing the glove or it is due to his left leg scratching the surface. The third umpire feels it has brushed the gloves and the on-field call has been overturned. Excellent review by Bangladesh and they have got the well-set batsman out. Also, the partnership which was starting to look good has been cut short. Zimbabwe in a spot of bother. They need another 227 runs to avoid the follow-on.  96/3

28.4 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Bangladesh get their first today. Taijul is the man once again to provide the breakthrough and again it is the combination of him and Mehidy Hasan. This is tossed up around off, it pitches, turns away and also bounces a touch extra. Tiripano lunges forward to defend with an angled bat but the ball takes the outside edge and goes into the safe hands of Hasan at first slip. He takes a tumbling catch. Donald's stubborn innings comes to an end.  40/2

98.1 OUT! What a catch that is! Something special was needed to get rid of Taylor and Taijul has provided it. He has pulled off an absolute screamer. Taylor has nailed the sweep shot. It is right off the middle, he must have thought there are runs on offer as soon as he hit it but it was not to be. Islam in the deep square leg region is standing a bit ahead of the rope and dives to his right to grab a two-handed stunner. Outstanding. End of a magnificent knock but Zimbabwe needed him to stay out there. 33 more runs needed to avoid the follow-on.  290/7

50.5 OUT! BOWLED 'EM! Williams seems to have missed a straight ball there. He has misread the length completely. Islam tosses it up around off, it goes on with the arm. Williams pays the price for not picking the variation. Also, he should have been forward to this delivery but he tries playing it off the back foot. That brings his downfall. He misses and the ball shatters the off stump behind. An early wicket after the break for Bangladesh and it is a big one. Williams walks back without making an impact.  129/4

54.5 OUT! Another one bites the dust! Taijul Islam is breathing fire here. This was a top, top delivery! Not a lot Raza could have done with that. Maybe, he could have been a little forward there. Now though it is too late. Islam pitches this around middle, Raza plays for the original trajectory but the ball straightens a touch, beats the outside edge and hits the stumps. Half the side is back in the hut for Zimbabwe as Raza walks back for a duck. They need another 192 to avoid the follow-on. Looks an uphill task from here. Talking about Taijul and his brilliance with this delivery. He got Sean with a straighter arm ball and this time since he bowled it from wide of the crease, Raza was outsmarted as he thought it will once again skid in with the angle. That wasn't the case and his footwork was also quite ordinary. What a series Taijul is having!  131/5

92 OUT! Three reds and Bangladesh have finally broken the 139-run stand. Much-needed wicket for the hosts and a timely one. Zimbabwe are still 53 runs away from avoiding the follow-on and they have 4 more wickets in hand. Haque bowls it on the fuller side and it jags back in late. Moor fails to adjust to the swing as he tries to work it on the leg side. Misses completely and it hits his front pad. It goes to the keeper who takes it and appeals. The Bangladesh players are appealing for both, an LBW and a caught behind. The umpire though raises his finger, which we think is for Leg Before Wicket. Moor though reviews it. Replays detect no inside edge but Hawk Eye shows three reds. Peter walks back after an excellent knock although he will be disappointed to miss out on a ton. Zimbabwe lose their review as well. Bangladesh are ecstatic. Credit to Mahmudullah to bring Ariful into the attack, he ain't a regular bowler but has done the job.  270/6

105.3 OUT! It is a clean catch and that is the end of Zimbabwe's innings as Chatara won't be able to bat. Islam gets his sixth fifer in Tests, third in a row. Simply amazing. He tosses it up around middle and it comes in with the angle. Chakabva tries to defend with his bat way ahead of his front pad. The ball goes off the inner half towards Mominul at short leg. He is standing nice and low and he seems to have taken it. The players start celebrating but the umpire wants it to be checked. He takes it upstairs and replays show that the catch is clean as a whistle. Zimbabwe's first innings is over and that also will be STUMPS ON DAY 3!  304/9

98.3 OUT! One brings two! Now they have only 2 wickets in hand (count it one with Chatara not expected to bat) and need another 33 to avoid the follow-on. The straighter one does the trick. It is tossed up around off, Mavuta plays inside the line, thinking it would turn into him. It does not and takes the outside edge. Ariful Haque makes no mistake at first slip and Mavuta goes for a duck.  290/8

4.3 OUT! Make that 2 in the over! Both openers dismissed in a matter of 2 balls. Jarvis is on fire. Best view for a fast bowler. Kyle pitches this on a length, just around off and Das gets across to defend. But at the last moment, the ball moves away, beats the outside edge and hits the top of off stump! Early trouble for Bangladesh. They are effectively 228/2.  10/2

4.1 OUT! Caught by Mavuta! Waste of a wicket by Kayes! An early wicket would lift the spirit of the Zimbabweans. The ball was short and wide outside off, Kayes went after it and cuts it in the air and finds the man positioned at deep point perfectly. Good catch by Mavuta! Kayes will be kicking himself, it was a good opportunity to get some good runs under his belt as there wasn't much pressure on him. Jarvis is pumped up!  9/1

5.4 OUT! Caught by Chakabva! What a start for Zimbabwe this morning! The pacers are making the ball talk. A good length ball again just outside off, Mominul can't resist going for the cut shot off the back foot. But he is too close to the ball and it takes the outside edge and goes to Chakabva at a good height. Bangladesh are putting themselves under pressure here. Very poor shot selection this morning. Overall, their position reads 228/3.  10/3

39.2 OUT! Caught by Chakabva! Mithun attempts the same shot again, gets the top edge this time and it goes a mile in the air. Chakabva runs to the mid-wicket region and pouches it comfortably in his big gloves.  143/5

12.1 OUT! Caught! Rahim falls too! Good start for Zimbabwe after Drinks break. Short of a length delivery on middle stump, Rahim tries to pull it over mid-wicket but finds Mavuta there. Rahim watches his bat as he regrets about playing that shot. Massive wicket for Zimbabwe. The hosts are effectively 243/4.  25/4

42.2 OUT! BOWLED AROUND HIS LEGS! Wow. Turn. Massive turn. Problems for Zimbabwe. Big problems. This is pitched well outside leg and on the rough. Ariful looks to sweep but misses. But the ball just spins in quickly, goes past the bat and hits the middle stump! The pitch has started to change big time.  151/6

23 OUT! This time the catch is taken! Sharp catch by Mominul Haque. The stand has been finally broken. Tossed up on middle stump, Masakadza tries to defend off the front foot but gets an inside edge onto the pads and it lobs to short leg. Mehidy has delivered the first strike for Bangladesh. It has taken a long time coming, though had they taken their opportunites earlier, they could have picked up more wickets by now.  68/1
