00:14Hello and good morning from the Harare Sports Club. It's day two of the one-off
00:18test between Zimbabwe and Bangladesh. We're all set for action. So this is the story up
00:24till now on day one. 140 all out Bangladesh, Zimbabwe and Reply are four behind.
00:30136 for one. They've got nine wickets in hand. Khaled will be starting the
00:35proceedings. He's the one who's got that lone wicket. He'll be bowling from our
00:40end where we are. It's right arm over. Day two action. Kai on strike. Good shot but
00:49there are two sounds. That's a good shot. Full face of the bat. Just a mere push through
01:01the line. First boundary of the day and also wraps up the over. There's a catch. There's
01:12the first one of the day. Khaled strikes again. It's Brendan Taylor who's been
01:18dismissed. He was in not a very good position trying to defend that. Takes the shoulder
01:22of the bat. I don't think there's any issues with the front foot. But just have a look at
01:28this. Just angle in and then slightly just straighten. And so he induces him into playing that particular
01:34lead delivery and finds the outside edge. It's a breakthrough and it's a well rewarded breakthrough
01:40for Bangladesh Taylor has to go for 17 143 for two beautiful shot lovely drive from Bennett's bat
01:52on the boundary here his first
02:02nicely played soft hands from Kaia he's so strong there Brian Bennett you don't want to give him
02:13any hint of width he has smashed that has Brian Bennett strong on the pull shot
02:30there's a play that fine and it should pick up a boundary and he does
02:39there you go what a wonderful way to record your first test match 100
02:50against all the odds through all the diversity
02:54in the last couple of seasons Harare sports club taper go take your bow innocent Kaia gets himself 100.
03:06just giving it a charge and a boundary he'll surely would lie to now call the shots
03:14down the way gate and just passed that fielder 200 comes up for Zimbabwe with that shot
03:25yeah the man in the deep cannot do anything about that he'll go race past him for a boundary that
03:31was
03:31uh timed brilliantly by Bennett
03:38yeah he's so good with that he loves playing that shot maybe it's gone a lot finer than he would
03:43have liked
03:47it's gone into out through extra cover i think he's got to get another boundary here
03:52ryan bennett has used the turn away here it's been tossed up
03:57right here thick outside edge also run away for four
04:08he can improve on but it's still a lovely action and this is a beautiful shot
04:13and this will be brian bennett's third 50 in test cricket
04:24could be met with a boundary yeah short and wide
04:27and that'll bring up a hundred run partnership
04:34what a catch brilliant catch from taijul islam
04:39and it's the early breakthrough after lunch that bangladesh were looking for
04:46is a legitimate delivery and it is slower through the air this is the one that doesn't turn carries on
04:52the arms and brian bennett is gone as taijul islam takes an absolute screamer of a catch
05:02he's entertaining 59 from 67. this is why we're 250 for three
05:12glorious from kaya a little bit of calypso about that stroke
05:24nice just gave himself a bit of room did urban to be able to maneuver it wide in the mid
05:29off
05:31first boundary for him
05:35that'll run away for four he was probably looking for that to go a bit straighter
05:41but he won't mind gets a good result craig irvin
05:47lovely you won't see a much better cricket stroke from a left-hander than that
05:56nicely played that's a nicely played wristy from kaya come on in now
06:05no gone
06:09looks to turn it around the corner and the breakthrough for someone who's worked so hard
06:16from the city and taijul brings this visual to an end he's closed the face of the bat a little
06:24early
06:24and yeah as a result he's got that leading edge but you gotta stand up and clap for this man
06:31what a wonderful knock and putting zimbabwe in such a strong position innocent kaya will remember this
06:37not for a long time to come he's been dismissed for 140 and everyone stands up and greets him in
06:44the
06:44dressing room eating edge and finds the field at cover oh dear oh no oh no this is terrible two
06:56wickets in the
06:56over ball watching
07:02what was the second run for he's just he was soft handed look at that he's not running for the
07:07second
07:08seager he sees urban coming in and he's forced to go for that second but it's not there
07:16his body is not even warmed up gone for one two eighty four five
07:25he's gone through uh that slips he's a little away from his body but he committed himself to uh try
07:31and
07:31play that drive a little too over pitch there from uh taijul it's been put away by wesley that's a
07:42strong
07:42region title islam that will run away he gives chase chanto he's not going to get there
07:58yeah he's strong there first real sign of aggression from craig urban
08:06he's crunched that there's a fielder who's back who has got no chance of getting there beautiful
08:13stroke from irvin great piece of timing shots of guys he got in a bit of a tangle at any
08:21and it gets away with it and it picks up a boundary
08:29it doesn't start well low full toss this should run away this outfield's been very quick and does
08:41oh that wasn't far away from chanto you read it but it runs away for four
08:55and that's the eighth test match 50 for craig urban and he's done it against bangladesh he made his
09:04debut against bangladesh in 2011 and you can see from that reaction that it's important runs for him
09:12here this afternoon at harare sports club
09:19should be a boundary it's a very uh odd shot in the way the manner he's executed it but he's
09:27got himself
09:28uh four runs
09:33here for uh wesley there he goes 50 for uh wesley mother very second test match 50 for him batting
09:44at
09:44number seven we're talking about him and he's uh added not just a 50 but a very valuable partnership
09:50at this number to further strengthen zimbabwe's position in this test match mindset at the moment
10:01the error that they were waiting for has been granted
10:08and he's picked the soul man behind square on the leg side boundary
10:14it's a good catch running away to his right
10:18and a good innings from craig urban has to come to an end he goes for 60. zimbabwe now 382
10:24for six
10:27brooks oh hello oh he's giving it
10:31it's his first decision in test cricket riaz
10:41my immediate reaction was there might have been bats on this
10:50maybe not but not sure that's going on to strike the leg stump either
10:56very disappointed as brad evans he goes for four bangladesh get another 394 for seven now
11:07that's a brilliant catch taken has it carried the umpires are going to talk to each other but i
11:12think it's very low he's got his fingers underneath they're pretty confident yes the umpire gives a
11:16nod which means that that uh namuri has to walk and stay down now he's fine it's a legal delivery
11:24i think
11:25it's a very sharp catch taken by tauhid ridhoi
11:30yeah it came quick it was slow in the front but he grabbed it beautifully didn't he excellent catch
11:38to give a thaijula's 19th fifa and test cricket
11:53it's a very sharp catch on the front but it's not going to help him because he's gone through the
11:59defenses and he picks up a boundary yeah he knocks him over they still strike the pose but it's not
12:08going to help him because he's gone through the defenses and he picks up his sixth wicket
12:12i think zimbabwe batters have made up their mind that they're just going to try and uh have a go
12:23at
12:24every delivery ingaraba goes for three zimbabwe are 404 for nine very big job in their hand
12:34well he's uh bisected those two fielders and he picks up another boundary alert
12:42has that pitch straight yes it has says umpire riaz and it's another wicket for taijula islam more
12:53importantly the final wicket of zimbabwe's innings all out for 410.
13:00and uh hasen balda no baller all through the zimbabwe first innings and that is beauty pitches it on
13:07leg stump flatter through the air looking to clatter into middle and off and sarabani's out lbw without
13:15scoring zimbabwe called out 410. right so bangladesh asked to bat first yesterday 140 all out zimbabwe
13:25in reply led by a wonderful hundred from innocent kahir 140 and 227 balls they get 410 a lead of
13:35270
13:37and how quickly has this test match moved along
13:43that's a good start very good start
13:49outside eggs flies over the cordon at first boundary for bangladesh
13:59nicely played that's two full hard new ball and it will find its way to the boundary quite easily
14:06no it won't that's a great put to fielding in pursuit brad evans
14:12we saw something similar from the man yesterday as well
14:19that has been cracked to the boundary
14:27gone
14:30outside edge taken by ben curran pushing at the ball outside the line of off stump and they have
14:39their breakthrough that's fine he's absolutely fine so she draws the batter to the front foot
14:45you're not too big a stride and he finds an outside edge it's a good catch in the slip
14:51now that's exactly what zimbabwe was hoping for not bangladesh shatman slam gone for nine 22 for one
15:01oh beauty pitch it up that is some shot by momino
15:12well this time he's slashed it away short and wide so he will pick up a boundary
15:23beautifully played nice punch down the ground
15:33and the umpire has a look at his uh watch and he has called time
15:39and what was a very enthralling day
15:43there's been uh extreme highs among the dish have had to
15:47battle through the day and try and bowl zimbabwe out which they did for 410.
15:54all right then this is how it's looking bangladesh 140 all out nyamori 4 for 61.
