OUT! TAKEN! That is a superb catch from Tamim! Important one too as it was of the well-set Wesley Madhevere.

Length and outside off, there is a little extra bounce. Madhevere looks to go over long off but there is no timing on that one. Tamim runs in quickly, dives forward and takes it brilliantly.

Is Brendan Taylor hit-wicket? It seems that Taylor hit the stumps with the bat and the replays show that he has.

OUT! HE HAS KNOCKED THE BAILS OFF! That is quite careless more than unfortunate by Taylor! He can't believe it. He was playing so well and walks back in one of the wierdest ways. A short one and on middle, Taylor lets it go to the keeper. It seems like it is a dot ball but all of a sudden there is an appeal as the bails have been knocked off the grid. It is taken upstairs and replays show that he did knock it off. He was shadow practicing the pull shot after leaving it but he ended up hitting the stumps on his followthrough. Very lazy from him. Huge wicket for Bangladesh and just as a partnership was building it has been broken. This has been the norm for this innings so far.

Drinks! Zimbabwe were looking good but the wicket of Regis Chakabvas has pegged them back now.

Brendan Taylor, the Zimbabwe skipper says that they will bat first. Goes onto say that there is not much grass on the pitch and they can play with freedom. Adds that they started the innings well in the first game but they were poor after that. Tells that they need to improve. Informs that they have made 2 changes as Ryan Burl and Timycen Maruma are injured and Sikandar Raza and Tinashe Kamunhukamwe come in.

Pitch report - Athar Ali Khan is there for the pitch report. He says that the pitch is a new one and there are some cracks near the good length area.

Bangladesh (Unchanged Playing XI) - Tamim Iqbal (C), Liton Das (WK), Mohammad Mithun, Mosaddek Hossain, Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah, Mehidy Hasan, Mohammad Saifuddin, Afif Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam.

Toss - Up goes the coin and it lands in the favour of Zimbabwe. They have elected to bat first.

Liton Das has made a serious impact as an opener for Bangladesh. He played the anchor role in the first ODI as Bangladesh had lost early wickets and they needed someone to stay out there and play till the end. Liton Das did just that as he started off slowly, got his first boundary very late and when it was time to attack, he did and scored a fine, fine century. He would look to continue doing the same in this series and his form is a good sign for the visitors.

Zimbabwe have certainly missed Sean Williams and Craig Ervine, haven't they? In the one-off Test, Zimbabwe's middle order struggled and both Williams and Ervine were missed a lot. Even in the first ODI, Zimbabwe needed them as their experience could have come in handy but with them missing in action, a lot of pressure is built on Brendan Taylor. They have Sikandar Raza back as well but he did not get to play in the first ODI. It will be interesting to see if he makes an appearance in this game.

It is time for round 2 in the 3-match ODI series between Zimbabwe and Bangladesh. Bangladesh continued their dominance in the series from the one-off Test and then the first ODI where they defeated Zimbabwe by 155 runs. They certainly look the favourites to win this game as well and the series with a game to spare but Zimbabwe can surprise one and all as they are known to punch above their weight but then again, it won't be easy for them against an in-form line-up of Bangladesh. Will Bangladeh be able to win the series with one game to spare or will Zimbabwe level the series? We will find out.
