Paul Stirling lbw b Richard Ngarava 13 25 2 0 52

8.4

Richard Ngarava to Paul Stirling, OUT! LBW! Richard Ngarava strikes and Paul Stirling departs! This is a huge, huge wicket for Zimbabwe! Richard Ngarava goes fuller after keeping it a bit short in the previous deliveries. It is on middle and it swings away from Paul Stirling at the last moment. Paul Stirling tries to flick it but misses and gets hit on the pads. Richard Ngarava makes a loud appeal and the umpire raises his finger. Paul Stirling though is not happy and looks very disappointed. No DRS for this series and he has to walk back.

Stephen Doheny b Victor Nyauchi 3 9 0 0 33.33

1.4

Victor Nyauchi to Stephen Doheny, OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! Here it is... Victor Nyauchi with a big-inswinger and draws first blood! This is full and swinging into Stephen Doheny from off. He tries to drive it with a big stride forward. However, the ball manages to find the gap between bat and pad and knocks over the stumps. Zimbabwe get an early breakthrough!

45.4

Sikandar Raza to George Dockrell, OUT! CAUGHT! George Dockrell holes out in the deep and this dangerous looking small partnership is broken. Raza is the man who provides the breakthrough! A full toss, around waist height, around off. Dockrell tries to loft it over the fence towards the off side. However, he fails to get enough power behind this shot and ends up hitting it straight to Ryan Burl at deep cover. He takes the catch comfortably and Raza has the last laugh.

Curtis Campher c Ryan Burl b Victor Nyauchi 8 8 1 0 100

Victor Nyauchi to Curtis Campher, OUT! CAUGHT! Campher is gone now! Back of a length, on off. Campher makes room and cuts it hard but aerially and it travels all the way towards deep point where Burl takes a flat catch. This is good from Zimbabwe, they are not letting things drift away here.

12.4

Graham Hume to Innocent Kaia, OUT! CAUGHT! This time Innocent Kaia is gone and Hume would feel much better now! There are two fielders in the deep on the leg side and there is definite ploy to bowl short at him. Hume does exactly that and bowls it short on off. Kaia goes for the pull shot again. Does not bother to keep it on ground and hits it towards deep square leg where Curtis Campher takes a good low catch this time.
