4
Chivanga to Young, FOUR runs

an outside edge and it goes over the cordon for four. Fifty up for New Zealand. It was short of length but not much room there. Young still went for the back-foot punch and got a thick outside edge that went over the vacant third slip area

2

Jane: "6 and a half overs into the innings and this is already the biggest partnership of the match so far ... not a good sign ..."

6.6
Muzarabani to Conway, no run

a length ball angling towards the pads. Conway's head falls over as he looks to work it on the leg side. Misses the ball and gets hit on the pads

Around the wicket now

Mustafa Moudi: "Off-Topic: Wishing a Very Happy Birthday Zimbabwe's Assistant Coach and Former Zimbabwe Player - Dion Ebrahim. Unfortunately, His Team havent played well enough to make his birthday special !!"

6.5

Muzarabani to Conway, no run

a length ball angling across. Left alone

6.3
4
Muzarabani to Conway, FOUR runs

shouts of catch but think it fell well short of third slip. Was a length ball that kicked off to surprise the batter and take the shoulder of the bat
