Zimbabwe suffered a body blow on Day 2 of the second Test against Bangladesh in Dhaka as fast bowler Tendai Chatara had to be stretchered off the field with a leg injury. It was soon revealed that he had a grade two quad muscle strain, ruling him out of the remainder of the fixture.

The right-arm pacer pulled up during his delivery stride and clutched at his left thigh while seemingly wincing in pain. He was carried off the field, after which Donald Tiripano completed Chatara's over.

Chatara bowled just 19 overs in the first Test that Zimbabwe won, picking up three wickets, but had already outdone that tally and even dismissed centurion Mominul Haque, in the ongoing fixture before getting injured.

Zimbabwe find themselves behind the eight-ball with Bangladesh doing well in their first innings. They will hope the injury to Chatara doesn't hamper them too much as they try to fight back.
