DHAKA: Tigers have resumed their batting in the 1st innings on the second day of the third test of Bashundhara Cement Test Series in Chittagong Thursday.
Prolific run-scorer Mominul Haque and Mahmudullah Riyad have resumed the batting with 46 and 5 runs respectively at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium.
Earlier in the first day, with two tons of the openers Tamim Iqbal and Imrul Kayes, Bangladesh have scored 303 for two at stumps on day-1.
Before returning to the pavilion, Tamim and Imrul made two records -- the highest opening partnership for Bangladesh and two tons for openers each.
In May, 2010, the same openers scored 185 runs, the previous record against England.
Earlier on Wednesday, Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim won the toss and decided to bat first.
Bangladesh have entered into the game with two changes, opener Imrul Kayes replaced Shamsur Rahman and pacer Shafiul Islam replaced Shahadat Hossain.
The visiting Zimbabwe also have two changes; quick bowler Shingi Masakadza and Richmond Mutumbami have replaced Tendai Chatara and Malcolm Waller, who was reported for a suspect action in the previous Test.
The home side, however, have already clinched a 2-0 series win in Dhaka and Khulna.
