SYLHET, Bangladesh (AP) — Bangladesh off-spinner Mehidy Hasan claimed a five-for and Zimbabwe's lead was reduced to 25 runs by the end of day two Monday of the first test.
Half-centuries by opener Brian Bennet (57) and Sean Williams (59) led Zimbabwe to 273 and a first-innings lead of 82.
But that was down to 25 by day's end when Bangladesh reached 57-1 at stumps, with opener Mahmudul Hasan (28) and Mominul Haque (15), who hit 56 in the first innings, in the middle.
After bowling out Bangladesh for 191, Zimbabwe resumed on 67 without loss and looked set for a significant innings lead but Mehidy triggered a collapse.
