ZIM vs BAN Live Cricket Score

0.5 OUT! BOWLED! What a start for Blessing Muzarabani! That's a top, top delivery to send back one of the Bangla openers! Hits the deck on a length, just outside off. The ball comes in with the angle. Saif Hassan looks to defend it from the crease but the ball goes past the outside edge and rattles the stumps. A duck for Hassan and a dream start for the hosts.  4/1

20.1 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Just when things were looking bright for the visitors, they lose another one. Ngarava strikes and the third one falls. This was a very good delivery and this stand, which was taking the Tigers to safer shores, has been broken. A length ball, around the off pole, it nips away late as Shadman Islam looks to have a poke at this tentatively. The outside edge is generated and the Zimbabwean skipper, Brendan Taylor, at first slip, makes no mistake.  68/3

4.2 OUT! TAKEN! Blessing Muzarabani is breathing fire out there! This is a typical Day 1 first session wicket for him. Hurls a length ball, just outside off. Shanto is half a stride into it and gets the outside edge, as the angle works out against him. Dion Myers, the debutant, takes it with ease at the third slip and the visitors are slipping within the first 30 minutes of the Test!  8/2

36 OUT! TAKEN! Finally, they hold onto one! Mominul Haque was living dangerously in the last few overs and now he has to take the long walk back to the hut. Shorter ball, outside off. He looks to guide it past the point fielder, but the ball rises a touch more and he hits it straight towards gully. The debutant, Dion Myers takes it with ease and sends back the Bangladeshi skipper for a hard-fought, entertaining knock of 70 runs.  132/6

28.4 OUT! LBW! Beautiful bowling by Blessing Muzarabani! The previous ball went away and this one came back in! This lands on a length, outside off, and jags back in. Rahim shoulders his arms but gets hit on the pads. The umpire raises his finger to send him back and Blessing is on the moon, he is enjoying his time out there. The leave has cost him his wicket. Rahim doesn't look happy with the decision. Maybe, because he was hit high on the pads. Either way, off he goes!  106/4

29.3 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Finally, an edge induced by Victor Nyauchi is taken! Serves a wide length ball. Shakib Al Hasan strangely decides to chase this one early on in his innings.

78.1 OUT! TAKEN! Liton Das will be livid that he got dismissed in the 90s! What will disappoint him more is the way he got out! Short ball, down the leg side. He pulls it well, but straight to the man at fine leg. Victor Nyauchi dives to his right and he takes it comfortably. That also brings an excellent innings, by Das, to an end.  270/7

Tossed up on middle, Taylor looks to heave it to the leg side but gets it off the inside half of the bat and it goes to square leg where Yasir Ali, the substitute fielder takes a good catch. Zimbabwe are 292 runs behind. Need 93 runs to avoid the follow-on.  176/2

80 OUT! CAUGHT! Shakib Al Hasan gets his second wicket of the innings. Dion Myers was looking solid in the middle. This was the last ball of the over. He could have just defended it out. But he just experienced a rush of blood as he loses his wicket. Another player goes out while going for the sweep shot. Full and on off, Myers sweeps it towards square leg. He looks to go over the man there. But Mehidy Hasan is there to spoil the party. Bangladesh players are delighted.  225/3
