ZIM vs BAN One-off Test Live Score - Harare (28 June 2026)

Serves it on a length around off, Shanto gets forward to defend near his front leg and keeps it out off the outer half. The ball rolls away to point.

Back of a length, on off, Shanto goes on the back foot and defends it down on the surface.

Around middle and leg, on a shortish length, again Shanto goes on the back foot and this time he keeps it out on the leg side.

A tempter outside off, full and there to be driven, Najmul Hossain Shanto restrains himself from going after it and lets it go to the keeper. Driving is a risky component on this surface with the nip around.

FOUR! FIFTY UP FOR BANGLADESH! Brad Evans bangs it in short around off, and Shanto instinctively swivels onto the back foot to pull. For a moment, it looks as though he is trying to bail out of the shot midway through, but he does brilliantly to keep it down. The ball races away through deep square leg for a boundary.

On a length around off, defended.

Richard Ngarava begins his second spell by slipping a full ball down the leg side. Mominul tries to flick but misses. It goes off his pads to deep fine and they cross for a leg bye.

Back of a length, around off, Shanto goes back to defend and does so by crouching a wee bit.

Lands it on a length around off, shaping away, Shanto stands back and plays late at it. He accounts for the movement and taps it in the gap at covers for one.

Uppish, but safe! That was almost an instant reward for the field change. Square leg was placed there just before this delivery, and he is immediately in the game. Richard bowls a length ball on the pads, and Mominul flicks a bit too firmly across the line. He fails to keep it down, but the ball drops safely and reaches square leg on the bounce.

Fuller and on middle, nudged towards mid on.

On middle, Mominul drops it with gentle hands towards mid-wicket and steals a quick run.

Bowls it on a length and outside off, Mominul Haque defends it with soft hands to cover-point and comes out of the crease in search of a run. His partner sends him back.

Shortish and on off, Mominul Haque goes on the back foot and defends it down.

This one swings away nicely. Short in length and outside off, Mominul Haque leaves and the ball curls away after going past the batter. That's a money ball if he gets the line right.

Serves it in and around off, landing on a length, Mominul Haque defends it from the crease.

Angles in a length ball, targeting the off pole, Mominul Haque trusts the bounce and shoulders arms. This one travels almost over the off stump.

Off the outside edge! Brad Evans is asking plenty of questions here. He lands it on a good length just outside off and gets it to straighten ever so slightly off the seam. Mominul pushes from inside the line with tentative hands, and the ball catches the outside edge. Fortunately for him, it drops well short of point. Another probing delivery from Evans.

Hurls it in, on a length around off, shaping away a bit with extra bounce, Shanto does well to defend it to the off side.

Identical to the last delivery but the line is a bit too straight, Shanto tries to work it off his pads and it goes off the inner edge to deep fine. They get a single.

Drifting down the leg side again, Mominul fails to flick and it goes off his pads to deep fine. They cross and it's given as a run. In fact, it has been changed to leg bye.

Around off, on a length, Shanto defends it to mid off.

PUT DOWN! Richard Ngarava does everything right, only to be let down by his slip cordon. He lands it on a good length around off, angling it across just enough to force the shot. The ball then nibbles away, finding the outside edge. The chance flies between second and third slip. The third slip fielder, Ben Curran, dives full length to his right, gets both hands to it, but cannot cling on. Much to Ngarava's frustration, the opportunity goes begging. In hindsight, he may have been better off leaving it for the second slip, who appeared to be in a better position.

The batter has just blocked that from the crease.

FOUR! Another sweet drive from Mominul Haque. Fuller in length and outside off, Mominul strides forward and crunches it through point for a boundary.

Short and on off, pulled away to deep square leg for a couple.

FOUR! Glorious shot again from Mominul! Full and on middle, and he gets right behind the line with a straight bat. Playing it beautifully late, he meets the ball under his eyes and punches it firmly past mid on.

On and around off, Mominul Haque defends it.

Huge shout for LBW! Not given. Brad Evans charges in from around the wicket, using the width of the crease to good effect. He lands it on a good length outside off, and the ball curls back in sharply. Mominul shuffles across, shapes to leave, and wears it on the pads. Zimbabwe go up in a confident appeal, but the umpire is unmoved. With no shot offered, impact is never the concern, but the height is. The replays confirm the ball would have sailed over the stumps. A good decision from the umpire.

  FOUR! Eased away! Evans delivers it on a length and bowls it on the pads, Mominul Haque accepts the gift and neatly nudges it down to deep fine. The fielder in the deep tries his best but the ball finds the fence.

Nicely done. On a length, on off. Shanto presses onto the front foot and plays a punchy drive to the left of the mid off fielder for a couple of runs.

Angled in at the front pad, Shanto defends solidly by getting forward.

Was there an edge? Tafadzwa Tsiga was the only one to go up but he found no support from anyone else. To be fair to Tsiga, there did seem to be a noise as the ball went past the bat. Banged in on a hard length, outside off. Shanto swivels and goes hard on the pull but it sneaks under the blade.

Not close enough to make the batter play.

No run.
