Tamim resolve leads Bangladesh

Opener Tamim Iqbal played a firm knock as Bangladesh gathered 193 for three at the close of the first day of the second Test against Zimbabwe in Khulna.
Tamim (74 off 250 balls) and Shakib Al Hasan (13) were leading the charge for the hosts at the Sheikh Abu Naser Stadium Monday.
Tamim, who scored five and a duck in the two Mirpur Test innings, was dropped at slip after scoring his 17th half-century, on 58.
Bangladesh, who opted to bat, had a poor start losing Shamsur Rahman (2) trapped leg-before early by Elton Chigumbura. Although the appeal was turned down by the umpire, the visitors took a successful review.
Tamim and Mominul Haque then came together to add 72 runs for the second wicket stand. But Mominul (35) departed with a return catch to Tinashe Panyangara after lunch.
Mahmudullah, in at four, paired with Tamim to add another 95 runs to the hosts’ score, according to a news agency.
