- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR12.1 Robiul gets more reward, it is that delivery again, he can pull it off at will, angled in good length on off, drawing him well forward for the defensive push and moving away to nibble the edge through to the keeper 26/210.5 Robiul has got his due, loud appeal from the cordon immediately as Mushfiq takes the ball, the same one he's been bowling so often, pitching off, moving away and bouncing from a good length, Chakabva stretches forward, but don't think there is an edge on this one, there was a sound, could have been bat hitting pad 23/122.4 lovely, the big turn previous ball, and this one slides in next from wide of the crease, Masakadza forward to block, but leaves the gate open slightly, enough for Shakib 45/345.1 Taylor's holed out, Gazi strikes big in his third over, came down to a tossed up ball and lofted with the turn, straight to deep midwicket, got too close to the line as Gazi angled it in, he knew right away as soon as he hit it that he was in trouble 97/465.4 uh oh, another wasted wicket this Test, Waller gets a shortish offbreak not getting up much, and he pulls it straight to deepish midwicket who is quite some way in from the boundary, what a bonus for Bangladesh, this wicket has fallen right in to their lap 163/588.3 Bangladesh surge before lunch, and it is that
relentless bowling machineunflagging Robiul again, Chigumbura was happily playing his good length deliveries off the back foot, Robiul pitched it up on the stumps, Chigumbura tentatively forward to defend, but leaves a gap between bat and pad, timber 257/786.3 Robiul again, this man is possessed, strange decision from Mutumbami, he's taken a step out and padded up right into this good length ball, expecting too much away shape again, but this has nipped in instead, it needs a rather long appeal for umpire Gould to agree with the fielding side 248/693.3 given straight away, sharp take from Mushfiq down the leg side, Meth shuffled a long way to this offbreak that spun across sharply from outside off, bounced too, he tried to nudge it fine, there was a sound, keeper went up immediately, and Meth, who was looking quite solid, walked 274/894.4 fifth for Robiul, given by umpire Hill after a long appeal, not sure there was an edge here, Shingi walks back shaking his head, that delivery again, angled in, pitching off, bouncing and moving away, Shingi forward to defend, the sound could have been bat hitting pad 281/995.6 that will be it, Jarvis pushes inside the line outside off and a quick offbreak skids past 282/10Extras18 (b 5, lb 11, nb 1, w 1)TOTAL282 all out (96 Overs, RR: 2.93, 424 minutes)Fall of wickets: 1-23 (Regis Chakabva, 10.5 ov), 2-26 (Vusi Sibanda, 12.1 ov), 3-45 (Hamilton Masakadza, 22.4 ov), 4-97 (Brendan Taylor, 45.1 ov), 5-163 (Malcolm Waller, 65.4 ov), 6-248 (Richmond Mutumbami, 86.3 ov), 7-257 (Elton Chigumbura, 88.3 ov), 8-274 (Keegan Meth, 93.3 ov), 9-281 (Shingi Masakadza, 94.4 ov), 10-282 (Kyle Jarvis, 95.6 ov)Bowling O M R W Econ WD NB Robiul Islam 33 11 85 5 2.57 1 1 Sajedul Islam 16 5 48 0 3.00 0 0 Ziaur Rahman 7 3 8 0 1.14 0 0 Shakib Al Hasan 19 4 66 1 3.47 0 0 Sohag Gazi 19 1 59 4 3.10 0 0 Mohammad Ashraful 2 2 0 0 0.00 0 0
