Having lost the series, Zimbabwe captain Brendan Taylor hopes his players can play pressure-free cricket in the third and final Test due to begin in Chittagong on Wednesday. The uneven bounce has been a crucial factor in the first two Tests and as a result Taylor hopes the visitors can bat first in this match.

"We bowled well in the first Test and had a bit of a batting in the second. If we can be a little consistent and try and put those things together, we will be more of a threat. The toss will be crucial, you don't want to be batting on Day Five in these conditions.

"But that's out of our control. We just have to play each day as it comes and give our best," Taylor told reporters during Zimbabwe's practice session at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong yesterday.
