17.2 to A Balbirnie, caught at deep point, and that is another well taken catch! Guess who is the fielder? It is Madhevere again. The ball was short and slightly wide-ish of off, and Balbirnie went for the ramp over the off side. But the boundary was really long there, and the fielder was right at the rope to nab that. 147/4
Luke Jongwe	4	0	28	1	7.00	7	1	1	1	0
16.3 to SC Getkate, taken at deep midwicket! This was another short of a length ball on off, and he makes room to pull but gets a top edge, as the ball flies to the fielder. Madhevere waits for the ball, completes the catch and gives a smile. 144/3

10.1 to KJ O'Brien, excellent take at long-off! Shumba runs forward and dives low to his left to complete the catch. O'Brien made room to a full ball outside off and lofted inside out, but couldn't get the distance, with the ball dying on to the fielder, who did supremely well to get his side the breakthrough. 89/1 13.2 to PR Stirling, top edge ballooned to the man at extra cover! Makes room to this fullish ball on middle and off, and goes for the heave over the off side. But the ball seemed to have got stuck in the pitch and come late, as he got a top edge which was easily grabbed. 114/2

BOWLING	O	M	R	W	ECON	0s	4s	6s	WD	NB
Craig Young	4	0	23	1	5.75	10	2	0	1	0
5.1 to W Madhevere, a dolly for Getkate at mid-on. Short of length outside off, Madhevere goes for the pull but ends up mistimig in. Getkate takes a couple of steps to his right and pouches it. 30/4
Mark Adair	4	0	23	4	5.75	13	4	0	0	0
1.1 to T Marumani, Soft dismissal. Fuller on the stumps and Marumani has chipped it back towards the bowler who latches on to it in his followthrough. 7/1 3.2 to RW Chakabva, length ball down the leg side. Chakabva goes for the flick. An appeal for caught-behind and up goes the finger. Not sure if he got any bat on it, looked like thigh pad to me. Chakabva looks towards heavens as he walks off. 21/2 3.4 to D Myers, the leg stump is out of its grove. An excellent yorker, swinging in. The batter fails to get his bat on it and Adair has his third. 25/3 17.2 to B Muzarabani, knocks back the off stump! Number four for Adair today. Pretty full and straight on off, and with good pace too. Too quick for a tailender, who tries to have a go at that while playing from leg stump, but misses. One more wicket to go. Can Adair get his fifth?. 86/9
Barry McCarthy	4	0	24	1	6.00	9	2	0	0	0
8.5 to M Shumba, bowled 'im. Length ball around off and middle and moves back a bit to sneak in through the gap between bat and pad. Shumba was stuck on the crease. 48/5
Shane Getkate	4	0	19	2	4.75	12	2	0	1	0
12.5 to DT Tiripano, stumped very sharply by Rock! Soft dismissal in the end, but very good match awareness by the keeper. He saw the batter's back foot move out late after he went into the shot to this very full and outside off, and missed his heave and also lost his balance. 68/6 14.4 to WP Masakadza, big appeal for leg before, and given! Very full ball and straight on middle and off, and zips through as the batter misses his push and is struck in front of stumps. 75/8
Simi Singh	4	0	18	1	4.50	6	0	0	0	0
13.4 to CR Ervine, comes down the pitch again, but this time finds long-on! The ball was tossed up and fullish on middle and leg, and Ervine went for the chip again, but failed to keep that down. Right into the hands of the fielder, who hardly had to move an inch. 72/7
