Zimbabwe stopped Bangladesh from taking control of the first Test cricket match after grabbing Mushfiqur Rahim's wicket just before tea on Day 3. Bangladesh reached 155-4 at the Sylhet Stadium today. Due to wet grounds, rain washed out the entire morning session.

Bangladesh started at 57-1 and seemed to gain momentum thanks to Mominul Haque and captain Najmul Hossain Shanto. The departure of Mominul, who scored 47 after making 56 in the first innings, helped Zimbabwe fight back into the game. Shanto remained batting with 44 runs as Bangladesh's lead grew to only 73 with six wickets left.

Bangladesh scored 191 in their first innings and fell behind by 82 runs when Zimbabwe made 273 all out. Fast bowler Blessing Muzarabani, who finished with 3-35, struck early on Day 3, dismissing Mahmudul Hasan Joy with a short ball. Joy added just five runs to his overnight score of 28, ending with 33.

Victor Nyauchu bowled consistently and earned his reward by dismissing Mominul with a tricky delivery. Mominul had hit six fours during his 84-ball innings. Mushfiqur Rahim continued his poor form, having failed to score fifty in his last eleven innings, and was caught at slip off Muzarabani for just four runs.
