17:13 Local Time, 11:13 GMT, 16:43 IST: Once again, the last session brings life back into the contest. At 259 for 3 and with a lead of 32 runs, the hosts were coasting along towards a massive first innings lead. But then Vincent Masekere struck on his debut to remove Najmul Shanto, then tricked Jaker Ali into offering a return catch before harassing Nayeem into his dismissal. In between, Mushfiqur Rahim ran himself out to cut short an impressive innings, 4 wickets in no time and the visitors have a foot back in the Test. Bangladesh still have a lead and they've wickets in hand to extend this already useful advantage of 64 runs, but they'd ponder about that last hour and a bit. Earlier, Shadman Islam's fine hundred, his 2nd in Tests, had negated the new ball threat and pushed the hosts into a great position. You'd say it's still advantage Bangladesh and they'll look to add to this score tomorrow, but Zimbabwe will certainly be buoyed by this comeback. We'll be back tomorrow at 10 am for Day 3 of this superbly poised Test. For now, cheers and bye..
