Match Thread - Zimbawe v Bangladesh 1st Test

Will Taylor go for the follow on?

We should. We havent played for a year and we need to win by innings to show we are far far superior than Bang

Taylor made the smart decision. Not enough runs for a innings win, and don't want to chase in a 4th innings on a pitch that might crumble.

Looks like we are going to bat. Well we need to set them 500 or so and try to win by 300 runs then.

Wow! Last 4 wickets went for 0 runs! Last 7 wickets went for 11! Superb performance by Jarvis in cleaning up the tail.

Interesting decision not to enforce the follow on. But I suppose, even if Zimbabwe crumbled for 100 that's still a pretty large 4th innings target. But really, you'd hope we'd score some easy runs here. If you're Maruma, there's no better time to score some Test runs given the match situation. If you're Sibanda, there's no better time to push on and make a big score.

Enforcing the follow-on has gone out of fashion ever since that VVS special against Australia.

Fantastic bowling, lads!

I tell you what the BD seamers dont want to have to bowl another 20 overs each this soon. Not sure what the BD batsmen want.

When is it starting again? I can't wait!

[Jemisi]

Real opportunity for our top order here.

I wonder how many BD fans will have heart attacks when they wake up and see the score after the overnight was 95-1.
