11:35 IST:This wicket is offering some turn, but it's slow turn, and not threatening enough. Zimbabwe spinners have to keep bowling in the right areas if they are to take some wickets. On the other hand, Bangladesh are possibly going to get the best phase of the match for batting, and they would want to take full advantage of it. Do join us for the post-Lunch session at 6.40 am GMT.
