Masakadza, Muzarabani knock over Bangladesh: 1st Test, Day 1 (Sylhet)

Blessing Muzarabani and Wellington Masakadza bowled out Bangladesh for 181 to have Zimbabwe on top on day 1 at Sylhet.

A third-wicket partnership of 66 runs between Haque and Shanto gave Bangladesh some relief. Jaker posted 28 but Bangladesh posted a sub par 181.

In reply, openers Brian Bennett (40 off 37 balls) and Ben Curran (17) put on an unbeaten 67 before poor light halted play.

Zimbabwe 67 for no loss (Bennett 40*, Curran 17*) trail Bangladesh 191 (Mominul 56, Shanto 40, Masakadza 3-21, Muzarabani 3-50) by 124 runs.
