Session timings: Lunch at 1 pm, tea at 3:40 pm and stumps to be drawn at 5:45 pm.
10:19 Local Time, 04:19 GMT, 09:49 IST: Day 4 will start at 11 am local if there is no further rain. It'very cloudy at the moment though
9:30 am: We'll have a delay. Atif says that the start of play on Day 4 delayed by rain. Next inspection at 10 am. As we saw yesterday, this is a fast drying ground and we should have play starting as soon as the rain stops.
Day 4, 9:15 am local: On a truncated third day, Bangladesh first overcame the 82-run deficit and have now run up a lead of 112 for the loss of four wickets. It was once again the dropped chances which cost Zimbabwe plenty, Mahmudual, who was dropped on 6 made 33 and Najmul Shanto was reprieved on 26 remaining unbeaten on 60. The home captain has held this innings together and he now has a chance of pushing this score beyond the realms of Zimbabwe. Rain has been forecast once again today, but we'll hopefully get plenty of cricket as well. We'll have 98 overs for the day with play starting at 9:45 am to make up for some of the lost time yesterday.
nullIt officially is stumps on Day 3. A truncated day's play with only 44 overs being bowled - Bangladesh moved from 57 for 1 to 194 for 4, a lead of 112 runs. It's not match-winning as yet, but they're putting themselves in a position of strength. Najmul Shanto has led from the front, having been dropped on 26, he has made the visitors play, the Bangladesh captain was involved in two good partnerships, 65 for the 3rd wicket with Mominul Haque and now an unbroken 39-run stand with Jaker Ali. The visitors have bowled well and have stuck to their discipline with Blessing Muzarabani being the best of the lot, they'll know that they're just a couple of wickets away from getting into Bangladesh's tail, but they also realize that they can't afford to leak too many more runs. Weather permitting, this Test is wonderfully set-up and we'll have early starts for the rest of the game to make up for some of the lost time. Do join us nice and early for Day 4. For now, cheers and bye..
16:41 Local Time, 10:41 GMT, 16:11 IST: The two umpires converge, it does look dark and the floodlights have taken effect. They've decided that it's too dark for play to continue - Match stopped due to bad light
