Vitori swings Test back to Zimbabwe
Debutant Brian Vitori claimed two quick wickets to turn the tide back
in Zimbabwe’s favour at tea on the second day of their one-off Test
match against Bangladesh at Harare Sports Club.
After starting the day looking comfortable on 264 for two in their
first innings, Zimbabwe lost eight wickets in quick succession around
lunch.
They were 326 for six at the lunch break, and were eventually all out
for 370 in mid-afternoon.
However, Bangladesh lost two early wickets of their own to slip to 36
for two just before the tea break. Both openers, Tamim Iqbal and Imrul
Kayes, were caught off the bowling of Vitori after scoring only 15 and
four runs respectively, leaving the tourists still 334 runs behind their
hosts with eight wickets remaining.
Earlier, in Zimbabwe’s first Test after six years in exile, Hamilton
Masakadza scored 104, his second Test century.
He resumed after ending day one on 88 not out, and toiled for his
runs before completing his century in 235 balls. His hundred included
eight fours and one six and was his first ton since his debut against
the West Indies on the same ground 10 years ago.
