Rana struck again, this time removing Brian Bennett (57) with a short-of-a-length delivery outside off that climbed awkwardly.

Soon after, Hasan Mahmud joined the party with a peach of a delivery to dismiss Nick Welch (2). Bowling a probing line just outside off, Mahmud consistently tested Welch's defense before finally breaching it with a good-length ball that seamed in and shattered the off stump.

Zimbabwe have carved out a crucial 82-run lead in what has been a tightly contested, low-scoring encounter so far, setting up an intriguing phase ahead in the Test match.

For Bangladesh, despite Mehidy Hasan finishing with a five-wicket haul, their attack lacked the sustained pressure needed to limit Zimbabwe to a smaller first-inning total. Mehidy라이브 바카라 earlier spells were expensive, forcing the pacers, particularly the fiery Rana, to shoulder more responsibility throughout the innings.

Earlier in the day, Mehidy Hasan Miraz starred with a five-wicket haul to restrict Zimbabwe and prevent them from building a significant lead, though the visitors will rue several soft dismissals in the middle order.
