Zimbabwe라이브 바카라 persistent struggles in second innings scenarios continue to be a cause for concern, especially given their recent collapse against Afghanistan that cost them a winnable Test match. These recurring issues loom large as the current batting pair works to steady the innings.

The two umpires have come together in the middle, assessing the rapidly fading light under the glow of the floodlights. After a quick consultation, they've decided it's too dark to carry on—match has been stoped due to bad light. Richard Kettleborough took the light meter reading before signalling the stoppage, and the Bangladeshi batters, who had built a steady and promising partnership, are now making their way back to the pavilion.

They won't be too disappointed with this pause, having looked comfortable and in control. The umpires continue to linger in the middle, but with around 45 minutes of scheduled play remaining plus an extra half hour available, it still seems unlikely that conditions will improve enough for any more action today.

Skipper Najmul Hasan Shanto and Jaker Ali have brought a sense of calm to Bangladesh's innings after early setbacks, stitching together a valuable partnership that has helped stabilise the middle phase of the Test. Shanto, in particular, looked assured at the crease, capitalising on a reprieve he received on 26 when a straightforward chance was spilled—an error that Zimbabwe may come to regret. With the ball losing its shine and Blessing Muzarabani라이브 바카라 threatening spell coming to an end, the visitors have struggled to maintain pressure. Shanto, having already crossed a fluent half-century, now has his sights set on a possible century, anchoring the innings with composure and confidence.

Day 3 of the Test came to a close with Bangladesh inching ahead in what has become a tightly-contested match. With only 44 overs bowled due to bad light and weather interruptions, the hosts progressed from an overnight 57/1 to 194/4 by stumps, securing a crucial 112-run lead. It was a day highlighted by captain Najmul Hossain Shanto라이브 바카라 composure and leadership, as he anchored the innings with two significant partnerships—first a 65-run stand with Mominul Haque, followed by an unbroken 39-run association with Jaker Ali. Having been dropped on 26, Shanto made Zimbabwe pay for the lapse and remains unbeaten, positioning his side with a chance to push for a commanding total.

For Zimbabwe, it was a mixed outing. Their bowlers remained disciplined throughout the shortened day, with Blessing Muzarabani continuing to impress as the standout performer. They were successful in picking up three wickets but couldn't prevent Bangladesh from building steady partnerships.

That will be all from our coverage of Day 3 of first test between Bangladesh and Zimbabwe. It was a rain marred day with morning and most of the evening session getting washed away. However, fourth day will be the exhilarating and moving day of the test.
