49.6
Raza to Abu Jayed, no run, yorker length delivery at the stumps, defended back
49.5
Raza to Nazmul Islam, out Caught by Chari!! Wicket number three for Raza! He is having a great time with the ball in hand. He gives this delivery a lot of air, it spins and bounces a touch extra. Nazmul Islam closes the face of the bat early and the leading edge takes it straight to silly point. Chari at that position displayed amazing reflexes, he crouches low, reacts swiftly and takes a beauty. I am afraid to say, end is near for Bangladesh in the first innings. Nazmul Islam c Chari b Raza 4(15) [4s-1]

Raza to T Islam, out Caught by Chakabva!! Raza does the trick for Zimbabwe. He is absolutely delighted and why shouldn't he be? It was a well tossed up delivery, it spins away after pitching and Taijul was in two minds, whether to lunge forward or stay back. He decides to stay in the crease and hangs his bat out.

Raza to T Islam, 3 runs, a throw at the non-striker's end would have been curtains for Taijul.
