Jaker Ali and the tail-enders could not push Bangladesh's total beyond 200 as the hosts got bundled out for a mere 191 in their first innings on Day 1 of the opening Test against Zimbabwe at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium today.

After a steady opening session, where they reached 84-2, Bangladesh lost the plot in the second session, losing five wickets to go into Tea on 154-7.

Bangladesh could add another 37 runs in the final session, thanks to Jaker (28) and Hasan Mahmud (19), before losing the remaining three wickets to get rolled over for a below 200 total.

Wellington Masakadza and Blessing Muzarabani were the pick of the bowlers, both claiming three wickets each, while Victor Nyauchi and Wessly Madhever shared the remaining four wickets between them.

For Bangladesh, Mominul Haque top scored with 56 and skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto made 4,0 but both were guilty of throwing away their wickets cheaply, and the other batters could not put up any resistance.

Earlier, Bangladesh won the toss and opted to bat first.
