Madhevere to Jaker Ali, out Caught by Ben Curran!! Jaker Ali has run out of patience. That was tossed up at 86.5 kph, outside off, the batter wanted to go across the line but the bowler pulled his length back and the ball went off the outer-edge and went very high. The man at cover steadied himself and took it easily. Zimbabwe need one more to bowl out Bangladesh on day 1. That would be a superb feat. Jaker Ali c Ben Curran b Madhevere 28(59) [4s-6]
