Half-centuries by Justice Chibhabha and Trevor Gripper propped Zimbabwe A to 164 for 5 at close of play on the second day against Pakistan A at Harare. Gripper made 50 while Chibhabha remained unbeaten on 54, but the Zimbabweans ended the day still 147 behind Pakistan's first-innings total of 311.
Apart from Chibhabha and Gripper, none of the Zimbabwean batsmen made an impression. Neil Ferreira, who opened the batting with Gripper, and Stuart Carlisle made just 15 each, Brendan Taylor fell for a duck and Sean Williams was run out for 5.
Earlier, Pakistan A added 55 to their overnight score of 256 for 6 before being bowled out. Zulqarnain Haider, their wicketkeeper, frustrated the Zimbabweans with a patient 43 off 189 balls. Blessing Mahwire and Tawanda Mupariwa were the pick of the bowlers, both taking three wickets apiece.
