Rock the baby Mupariwa! He produces another edge as the batsman goes for a similar slog and this time it settles down safely at backward point. Zimbabwe have won their first game of the series. Remember, Bangladesh have already won two. Game on now.

Full commentary
Hang on for the post-match ceremony.
Shakib: "We didn't bowl well. It was a tough day for us; hopefully we woudl come back in the next game. We didn't start well with the bat. Only 80 runs were needed in the last overs but we didn't have wickets."
Utseya: "The guys managed to come to the party today. Form is temporary, class is permanent. I think our batting can still improve. On that wicket, 350 is a good score."
Man of the Match : Chigumbura: "It was a good innings. The guys upfront did a good job to help me come in and play my game. We have to do well on Sunday to level the series."
That's it from us. Join us on Sunday. Good bye and good luck.

W
Price to Enamul, OUT
Price cleans him up with the arm-ball. He was clueless as he went back and stabbed outside the line of the ball. The off stump was pegged back and Zimbabwe are just a wicket away from getting their first win of the series.

Utseya to Mahbubul, FOUR runs
Clobbered! Mahbubul has reached his fifty in no time! He thrashed this flighted delivery to the long-off boundary. He hit that really hard.
Liberty: "Chris Mpofu would do for a fast bowler and Sean Ervine and Barney Rogers are the ideal players to make Zimbabe a complete team though without Prosper Utseya as Captain."

And then they were two. Mehrab couldn't keep his drive down and Vermeulen swoops low at short extra-cover to pluck the catch.
