The second test between Bangladesh and Zimbabwe kick started today in Khulna, and as per latest report, Bangladesh have scored 103 runs with the loss of 2 wickets when the game stopped for lunch.
Earlier, Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat first. The pitch will be a paradise for batsmen during the first three days, and this might have compelled the Bangladeshi Captain to take the decision of batting first.

Bangladesh started their innings in a slow yet steady manner. The opener Shamsur Rahim got dismissed earlier, but from then Tamim and Mominul tried their best to carry out the innings with perfection. Both of them showed their class, and they really tested the patience of Zimbabwe bowlers. When the score reached 78, Mominul was dismissed. But the veteran batsman succeeded in making a promising 35.
After the dismissal of Mominul, Tamim joined hands with Mahmadullah, and both of them are now showing some good cricket for the audience of Khulna. Tamim is very elegant in his moves, and he is getting ample support by Mahmadullah.
The seamers of Zimbabwe succeeded in finding some initial swings, but now, the pitch is quite flat, and they are literally finding it hard to surprise the batsman with a magic ball.
M’shangwe is showing that fighting spirit against the settled batsmen, but he lacks that extra tinge of variety which a class bowler should acquire.
The partnership of Tamim and Mahmadullah are very crucial in building the innings of Bangladesh, and they should stay till evening to build a reasonable score.
