Fantastic innings Brendan Taylor!
Only the 29th player in the history of Test cricket to score a century on debut as captain. Wonderful innings, a mature innings - a captains innings.

Great knock by the skipper! Congrats, Brendon!

Perfect day so far. How about a fifty for Craig now?

A run rate of 4.48 for the session, that's fantastic.

So a lead of 374 runs at tea on day 4, what a great position to be in. I reckon come out for 45 minutes or so and push the lead up to about 410 to 420. I reckon the 400 is important just to impose another psychological blow, and then the extra 10 to 20 to make the fielders ask themselves when will it end!

Wouldn't it be nice if Taylor could end up with a not out to his name. In this match he's increased his average from 21 to nearly 29.

Hmm, they've declared at tea. I would have liked to see a couple more runs on the board just to put any thoughts of a spirited comeback out of the minds of the Bangladeshi's... but let's see how it goes!

I guess Zimbabwe felt that their lead was big enough.
