The script is similar every time: another Pakistani run feast, another impressive Zimbabwe fightback in a hopeless task, but in the end another Pakistani victory

Pakistan won the First Test match against Zimbabwe at Harare Sports Club by 109 runs on the fourth day, but Zimbabwe did lose with honour

Pakistan, barring an unexpected intervention from the weather, are practically certain to win the first Test match against Zimbabwe at the Harare Sports Club, thanks to contrasting centuries by Inzamam-ul-Haq and Taufeeq Umer against inept Zimbabwean

60 runs behind on first innings, Zimbabwe's history as a whole would suggestthat they have little hope of winning this First Test match against Pakistan at Harare Sports Club - although interestingly at Peshawar in 1998/99 they did come back from

Midlands did well to restrict Mashonaland to 245 for five wickets on the first day of their Logan Cup match at Harare Sports Club after taking the dubious decision to put the champions in on winning the toss

Some belated fighting spirit from Matabeleland, mainly in the form of Mark Vermeulen, enabled them to take the match into midafternoon on the third day and force Matabeleland to bat again, however briefly
