Mehidy century puts Bangladesh in command against Zimbabwe
Mehidy struck 11 fours and a six in his knock of 104 to give the hosts a 217-run lead on the third day of the Test in Chattogram. Zimbabwe scored 227 after winning the toss and batting first. Mehidy, who took 10 wickets in Bangladesh's defeat in the first Test in Sylhet, proved his all-round skills with a stellar century on a spin-friendly track. Zimbabwe leg-spinner Vincent Masekesa took 5-115. He became the third Zimbabwe bowler after Andy Blignaut and John Nyumbu to bag a five-wicket haul on Test debut. Bangladesh added 153 runs to their overnight total of 291-7 thanks to Mehidy's partnerships with tailenders Taijul Islam (20 off 45) and Tanzim Hasan Sakib (41 off 80). Mehidy became Masekesa's fifth victim but not before scoring his first century in four years. Opener Shadman Islam made a century on Tuesday to give Bangladesh a strong start in their reply. The visitors lead the two-match series 1-0 after winning the Sylhet Test by three wickets. Brief scores: © 2025 AFP
