Bangladesh leads Zimbabwe by 112 runs with six wickets left in their second innings of the Sylhet Test. Rain shortened play on day three, but the teams still managed 44 overs. Bangladesh reached 194 for four after falling behind by 82 runs in the first innings.

Several Bangladesh batters made decent starts without big scores. Mahmudul Hasan Joy scored 33 runs before getting out. Mominul Haque added 47 useful runs to help his team. Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto remains at the crease with 60 runs, guiding his team forward against Zimbabwe bowlers.

Haque hopes Bangladesh can set a target above 300 runs for Zimbabwe to chase. He believes their remaining batters can contribute enough runs. Haque mentioned Hasan Mahmud, Taijul Islam, Jaker Ali, and Miraz as capable batters who can help increase their lead tomorrow.

Zimbabwe fast bowler Blessing Muzarabani wants to keep Bangladesh's lead under 200 runs. He says his team should focus on taking wickets rather than worrying about runs. Muzarabani believes Zimbabwe remains in a strong position despite Bangladesh fighting hard during day three of this close Test match.
