PATIENT Bangladesh closed the first day of their second Test against Zimbabwe on 193 for three in Khulna.

Tamim Iqbal took his new restrained approach to its extreme, batting through the day for 74 not out and putting on 95 for the third wicket with Mahmudullah (56).
Tinashe Panyangara was the pick of the Zimbabwe attack with two for 29.
Tamim’s Test strike rate prior to 2013 was 60.90 runs per 100 balls, a figure which has dropped to 42.38 in 19 innings since then.
And with Bangladesh having been nought for three before chasing down 101 to win the first Test by three wickets, he was clearly keen to avoid a repeat this time around.
He scored just two runs off the first 25 balls he faced and his first boundary came in the ninth over – by which point he had lost opening partner Shamsur Rahman for two.
He drove Elton Chigumbura through cover for four but was only 27 not out at lunch, with Mominul Haque on 26 in a total of 62 for one.
Tamim survived an lbw review off Chigumbura on 28 but had a close view of Panyangara’s wonderful catch off his own bowling to dismiss Mominul for 35, off 101 balls with five fours – though he had been spared on 28 when Zimbabwe failed to review an lbw which would have been given by DRS.
The opener’s half-century came up off 169 balls with a leg-side single off Natsai M’shangwe as tea was taken on 127 for two.
He cut Chigumbura for four but was dropped by keeper Regis Chakabva when he offered a difficult chance off Malcolm Waller.
Tamim had found another reliable ally in Mahmudullah and their partnership reached 50 in the fourth over after tea, with the first runs since the interval.
The total moved to 150 in the 76th over and Mahmudullah’s half-century came up from 140 balls after boundaries in successive overs off Sikandar Raza and Waller.
The partnership was closing on 100 when the new ball was taken and Panyangara struck with the fourth delivery, trapping Mahmudullah lbw with a sharp inswinger.
That was the last breakthrough of the day, with Tamim and Shakib al Hasan (13 not out) adding an unbroken 20 by the close. The former had faced 250 balls and hit only six boundaries. (PA Sport)
