30.1 to R Ngarava, Over the wicket, hammered in and veering in from outside off, nicks it through to the keeper and forgot about appealing. Belated appeal and the umpire then raise the finger in agreement. Short of a length, slight deviation on fourth stump nagging line and he pokes at it tentatively and the innings comes to an end after bit of a resistance from Williams who remained the top-scorer with 60. 127/10 | ||||||||||
| 6 | 2 | 17 | 1 | 2.83 | 28 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 0 | |
7.4 to CR Ervine, Touch short and slanting in sharply from outside off, he becomes squared up and can't hold himself back from playing at that, ball grazes the outside edge and it's a regulation catch for the keeper. Splendid bowling; tremendous disciplined gets his reward. Ball is still moving around and causing problems. 24/2 | ||||||||||
| 10 | 0 | 33 | 5 | 3.30 | 41 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
6.5 to J Gumbie, Tossed up outside off, tries the sweep again and gets done by the flight and spin; ball catches the top-edge and it's easily by Bilal at backward square leg; trying to get a move on after a sedate start and perishing in the process. 19/1 8.4 to BJ Curran, That looks pretty adjacent and up goes the finger! That spun back a fair bit towards middle, pitching on middle and straightening a bit, not much doubt and looks pinned in front. Curran departs after showing good resistance. 24/3 18.4 to T Marumani, Carom ball does the trick. Stumps, shattered, what a sight for the bowler. Tries to boom it over midwicket and left a gaping hole, irresponsible shot, not accounting for the spin and departing without troubling the scorers. Wickets continue to tumble and Zimbabwe find themselves stuck in a rut. 71/6 18.5 to WP Masakadza, Leg slip and two slips; full on attack. Masakadza tries to clonk it into the leg side, didn't pick him at all as the ball spins in sharply and rattles the stumps. Total chaos out there, lack of skills to negotiate with quality spin. Worrying signs for Zimbabwe; it's going from bad to worse. Nightmarish situation for the home side and contrasting emotions on the other side. Ghazanfar goes airborne and punches the air in ecstasy, he is fired up and loving every moment. Total mismatch though as Zimbabwe find themselves entangles in a vicious cycle. It's just not working for them. 71/7 22.5 to NT Nyamhuri, Tries for a full-blooded sweep, gets a top-edge and it's the simplest of the catches for Nabi in the slip cordon. Took a big stride forward and wanted to attack and Ghazanfar's day keeps getting better and better. Phenomenal bowling. 89/8 | ||||||||||

15.4 to Sikandar Raza, Slip in place. Lands it a touch short and spins in a touch at middle, looks a bit high but in line with the stumps, Raza forced to go deep and he tries to nudge it off his pads, height could have been an issue. They all appealed in unison and got the desired response from the umpire. Shake of the head and Raza stood there in disbelief and then slowly started to walk off. Massive wicket and it's that man Rashid Khan who provides the vital breakthrough. 60/4 17.5 to BJ Bennett, Rashid Khan is always hungry for wickets, a captain's delight! Gets undone by Rashid's brilliance. He was guessing how much it's going to turn, plumb in front and deceived by the googly; it was right on money and Bennett departs after showing positive intent and was looking to score but this was too good for him. Couldn't play down the right line and it's becoming another familiar tale for Zimbabwe. 70/5 27.4 to SC Williams, Throws it away after doing all the hard work! Changes his stance and reverse sweeps it straight into the hands of first slip, wanted to continue with his aggressive tactics but got this totally wrong, straight into Nabi's hands. Williams, looked phenomenal, is gone will lament himself for that lapse of concentration. He had an opportunity to bat with the tail and put up a decent score, ran out of gas and it's not always an ideal situation to do all the work without much support from other end but nevertheless it was a fighting knock. It was a slower delivery and wasn't right up in his hitting zone. 119/9 | ||||||||||

18.3 to Abdul Malik, Dragged onto the stumps! Back of a length ball around off, attempts to open up the covers, plays a looses backfoot punch with no foot movement at all, inside edged and the leg stump went flying!. 84/1 | ||||||||||
