PERFORMER OF THE DAY
METICULOUS JARVIS
Zimbabwe took a crucial 139-run first innings lead as hosts Bangladesh were bowled out for 143. Tendai Chatara claimed three wickets to rip through the top order and Sikandar Raza followed it up with three to finish the second day on a high note for the tourists.
But if discipline was the key to Zimbabwean bowlers' success, then pacer Kyle Jarvis was the standout performer in testing the patience of Bangladesh's batsmen. His tactic of changing the lengths while bowling in the right channel worked a charm and provided good support to the other bowlers.
The 29-year-old right-arm pacer took two vital wickets in his 11-over spell. A sharp, outswinging delivery took the outside edge of Liton Das's bat to nestle in the safe gloves of Regis Chakabva and later he got the most prized scalp when Mushfiqur Rahim edged to the keeper after the tea interval.
