00:00Hello and welcome you all from the serene city of Silat, where the Dutch Bangla Bank
00:15test series between Bangladesh and Zimbabwe is all set to hit the field here in Silat.
00:21Hot and muggy conditions in Silat to start us off in the two test series.
00:25I have the two captains and the match referee, Najmul Hassan Shanto Bangladesh, Craig Gawain
00:30from Zimbabwe and David Boone to oversee the proceedings of the toss.
00:34Shanto, you got the coin, give it a flick please.
00:36Heads.
00:37Heads is the call by Zimbabwe.
00:41It's a tail.
00:42Bangladesh won the toss.
00:43Najmul, you have won the toss.
00:44What are you going to do and why?
00:46I like to bat first.
00:47Looks pretty hard wicket and I think better we'll get a lot of true bounce and pace.
00:52I'm guessing if you had won the toss, would I bat at first as well?
00:54Yeah, I think so.
00:55Obviously looking at the wicket and seeing how it's maybe changed slightly over the last
00:59couple of days, I think it looks a really good wicket.
01:01And obviously bowling first, I think we just need to try and utilize that new ball period
01:05in that first session.
01:07Right.
01:07Our news out from here is that Bangladesh has won the toss and elected to bat first.
01:12Hello and welcome everybody to the serene city.
01:14This picturesque stadium here at Silat International Cricket Stadium about to kickstart the Dutch Bangla
01:19Bank.
01:20Bangladesh versus Zimbabwe test series 2025.
01:23Richard Illingworth and Richard Kettleborough.
01:26Shadman Islam is in good touch
01:45The youngster Mahmoud Lassan Joy
01:47Let's play with Dutch Bangla Bank
01:49Quick single off the mark
01:55Our Bangladesh
02:00Full and nice, ends the ova
02:05I've got room and threw his bat at it
02:08Timed away, square of the wicket, offside
02:11First boundary, it's a nexus pay four
02:16Oh that can
02:19Oh that sounded good
02:21And the result would be good as well
02:23That spoils the ova in the last delivery
02:28Tried bit of room, he likes to play square of the wicket
02:34Edged and gone
02:40Nicely taken at Kelly, Zimbabwe draws first blood
02:46And Shadman Islam departs
02:49Gotta be set, that was a driver, trying to play on the up
02:54No problem, clearly from the bat
03:05Clearly fingers are underneath the ball
03:11Move forward, move forward
03:13I would like to see the control of the fielder
03:17Confirmation, it's rocket out
03:21Shadman Islam departs after scoring 12
03:25Down the leg side, wayward again, wicket keeper does well
03:30Oh great carry as well
03:35Again, nicely bowled
03:41Second wicket gone for Bangladesh
03:43And take a look at the length
03:46Again, that four to five meter length
03:48Going fishing outside the oar stump
03:50Easy catch
03:52Niushi strikes for the second time
03:55For Zimbabwe
03:56Hasan Joy gone for 14
03:57Oh
04:00What was that?
04:02That's what you've got to decide
04:07You go and feel comfortable going down the line
04:11Oh wild
04:16Well, he got a thick outside part of the bat
04:20To that one, it's raced away
04:22Just felt it wasn't the most controlled shot
04:25Again, that little angle allows him to pick it up
04:31Quite comfortably
04:32Just helping the ball on its way
04:36The lights are on
04:37That's a good shot
04:38Plenty of width
04:39And that's one of Shanto
04:41He didn't have any second thought about it
04:43Through the kitchen sink at it
04:45End of the bat and brings up a boundary
04:51Oh, the batter
04:53Appeal
05:01Nice and slow
05:02Nice and slow
05:11Pitch outside off
05:12Impact in line
05:13And wickets missing
05:14Err is in length
05:21Overpits slightly
05:23Coursal boundary
05:24Oh, Ekrashan
05:25This is Najma Lashan Shanto's mindset for you
05:32Shot in the gap
05:35And finally
05:37And finally
05:38Muhammad Lakh gets the delivery
05:39The guy can freeze his arms
05:40And he did
05:45What a shot
05:46That's glorious
05:47From Najma Lashan Shanto
05:48The previous one he missed out
05:50But not this one
05:51Gone
06:04Better bounce
06:05I sleep old again
06:08Muzarabani
06:09Testing the batter
06:10And Shanto
06:11Scoop that one
06:12To the fielder
06:13At point
06:14An easy catch
06:15Najma Lashan Shanto
06:16After scoring
06:1740
06:18Nyeuchi
06:19And that's
06:21Patched away
06:22Delightfully
06:23Just short enough
06:24And he rode that wonderfully well
06:26Straight to the boundary
06:29Oh, now
06:30Not in control
06:31Squared up
06:32Frustration
06:33For the slips fielder
06:35The ball trickles away
06:36To the boundary
06:39Shot
06:40And his front of square
06:41Was short
06:42Wide
06:43And given the treatment
06:44By Muhammad Ul Haq
06:45Shot
06:48Down the ground
06:49That's probably
06:50The shot of the day
06:51For me
06:52Nice
06:53High elbow
06:54One drive
06:58Transfer away
06:59Straight to the fielder
07:00Another soft dismissal
07:07Yeah
07:08It was there to hit
07:09He's probably
07:10Tried to roll the wrist
07:12As opposed to
07:13Just go straight over
07:14That mid wicket
07:15Fielder
07:16And stalwart
07:17Goes for 4
07:18In 18
07:19Oh
07:20That's up in the air
07:21And it's gonna go
07:22Over the slip cordon
07:24And away for 4
07:28Well not in the most ideal manner
07:30But it does bring up
07:31The 22nd half century
07:33In Muhammad Ul Haq's career
07:39In the air
07:40He's gone for the pull shot
07:41This time
07:42The top edge
07:43Goes all the way
07:44For 6
07:48And gone
07:49Just as
07:50We're singing
07:51His praises
07:54As he gets
07:55Both the stalwarts
07:56This time
07:57Mominal Ul Haq
07:58Was in the slot
07:59To play
08:00But the field
08:01Was set up
08:02For that
08:03He took his chance
08:04Did Mominal
08:05Oh
08:08He's got him
08:10Wow
08:13It was short
08:14It was quick
08:15It was well directed
08:17Short ball trick
08:18Certainly working
08:19Against Miraz
08:20He goes for one
08:21Jacky Ralyonic
08:22Pull that away
08:23Will fetch a boundary
08:25There will be boundaries
08:26Here and there
08:27But more importantly
08:29For Jacky Ralyonic
08:30He needs to stay
08:31He needs to stay
08:39Tajul Islam
08:40Once again
08:41A shorter for length
08:42Delivery
08:43Try to guide that away
08:44On the onside
08:47Just getting a bit of bad
08:48On that one
08:49Good grab behind the stumps
08:50As well
08:51He's dismissed
08:52Tajul Islam
08:53After scoring
08:54Just three
08:57Short of length
08:58Delivery again
08:59And Hasan Mahmoud
09:00Rocks back
09:01And placed that shot
09:02Really well for a boundary
09:05In the early part
09:06Of his career
09:08He has not been able
09:09To sustain
09:14Rejuvenated
09:15With the deal
09:17Good shot
09:18Short delivery
09:19That's with ease
09:20By Hasan Mahmoud
09:21To end the 51st
09:22Over with a boundary
09:25Oh
09:26Through the slips
09:27Will be another boundary
09:30And that's where
09:31He's mighty
09:32Effective bouncer
09:33And the fine leg
09:34Was quite square
09:35And it went fine
09:40Oh
09:41Pitch up
09:42And he's picked it up
09:43Has Hasan Mahmoud
09:44Taken Masakadza
09:45Aren't denying him
09:48Proficient left lead
09:49With long
09:50Top edge
09:51And right in the gap
09:54The courageous
09:56From Jacarelli
09:57Now
09:58He feeds the full delivery
09:59In a nice manner
10:02Into the swing right now
10:03Shot again
10:04In the gap
10:06And another
10:07Nexus pair bound
10:08With Hasan Mahmoud
10:09What a ball
10:12What a delivery
10:13What a ball
10:14What a delivery
10:15Yeah, he's gone full
10:16He's gone straight
10:19And it's probably
10:20Just straight in the Tad
10:22pitching looking for the Yorker squeezed out and we'll run away for four he's in
10:39trouble feel that cover completes an easy catch in the end yeah I think he's
10:46just telegraphed his intention slightly earlier and my David has pulled the
10:49length back flattened it and he's gone through with the shot but immediately
