and umpire Gould ends the match, sliding in from Shakib, Jarvis caught on the pad, can't be sure without replays, but it's all over, he's hit in front of middle and leg, and this is not straightening, tough call
Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh, 2nd Test at Harare, Apr 25 2013 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Taylor and Rahim shake hands and jointly hold the series trophy. That does it for this Test series. Abhishek Purohit signing off. Cheers
Mushfiqur Rahim is the Man of the Match and Robiul Islam is the Man of the Series
Mushfiqur speaks on behalf of Robiul. Says he can bowl another 100 overs if needed, and dedicates the performance to the victims of the Savar tragedy back home in Bangladesh.
Mushfiqur Rahim: "Test win is a big achievement for us. Pressure on us after losing the first Test. We did not apply during the first Test, senior guys played well in this game, it showed the character of our team, hopefully we will carry the momentum in the ODIs. Robiul is a hard-working guy, all the hard work paid off, really happy for him. When you are winning, you are always enjoying [the tour]. It has been a good Test for me. I trued my best. Credit goes to Shakib and Nasir, they supported me throughout."
Brendan Taylor: "You have to give Bangladesh credit for some solid performances. Their middle order was very solid. Robiul bowling 100 overs in two games is phenomenal. The wicket played better than we though it would, we leaked too many boundaries, they showed patience and waited for scoring options. They deserved the win, we are pleased with some of our individual performances, and can be proud of a 1-1 result. Hamilton is a guy we look to bat around. I am sure he is going to come good in the one-dayers."
Handshakes all around. Mushfiq has a stump in his hand. Bangladesh's fourth Test win, third overseas, second against Zimbabwe, first in Zimbabwe
Ten wickets for the Bangladesh fast bowlers, so crucial in winning Tests outside the subcontinent. Crucial runs in both innings from Shakib, Mushfiqur and the young and mature Nasir Hossain. Tamim got a bad decision in the second innings, but set the tone with a brisk 49 on the first morning
Lead bowler Jarvis' poor show hurt Zimbabwe, and their batting could not hold up with Taylor not firing. Fantastic effort from Hamilton Masakadza, though, batted over six hours with top concentration
Winston: "I am so proud of that stoic effort by Hamilton Masakadza. Not once did he give up or stop believing. In the end it was too much. But I will never forget the way he approached this innings. Well done Bangladesh. You are worthy winners."
pushes forward again, it does not turn, thick inside edge to square leg, and he's taken the single early in the over
lunges forward to defend one tossed up and angled in full
Shakib back

tosses it up high, and it almost goes through, saved by a thick inside edge on the push

Only slip in
pads up to a flighted offbreak, but too far outside off, and too much for the umpire to determine

Amlan: "Amidst all this talk of inter-country cricketing ties, someone please take a note of how Zimbabwe is making a match out of it."
pushes at this good length outswinger, and is beaten, it stayed low too
length ball slanted down leg
overpitched on the stumps, he sends it racing between the bowler and the non-striker with a crisp forward movement, Robiul bowls another no-ball
tight line close to off, moving away, he lets it go
goes across and defends a good length ball around off
Tim: "@Saikat, teams often struggle a little in the first game of a series or after a long break from tests. Bangladesh and Zimbabwe have to contend with this in nearly every match they play. If they played more 4 and 5 test series' then you'd see them get much more competitive and win a lot more games. As it is they often are slow to start and the series is over just as they hit their straps."
