44.1 to Azhar Mahmood, and gone, Zimbabwe with a tremendous comeback, brilliant outswinger, clipping the outside edge, to the keeper, Azhar lunging down the wicket trying to drive thru the mid off. 231/7 44.2 to Abdul Razzaq, bowled! fantastic! yorked him and into the off stump, Streak on a hat trick. 231/8

18.5 to Wajahatullah Wasti, coming down the pitch, trying the lofted drive on the off drive, is unfortunate to get the outside edge, ball flies high over cover point, Huckle runs in from deep cover to take an excellent running and diving catch. 95/1
Henry Olonga	5	0	38	2	7.60	15	5	1
37.6 to Saeed Anwar, short of a length, quick, Saeed pulling, but getting a top edge, loops high in the air for an easy catch to Flower, not even he could drop that one. 194/4 48.3 to Shahid Afridi, down the wicket, mistimed, didn't get onto it, easy catch for the mid off. 260/9
Adam Huckle	10	0	43	1	4.30	35	1	0
38.4 to Wasim Akram, pitched up, Wasim with a hopeless swipe across the line, ball was pitched well up, turning into the pads, umpire gives it, Zim aren't out of the game yet, India aren't out of tourney yet. 195/5
Grant Flower	2	0	13	0	6.50	5	2	0
Paul Strang	7	0	38	1	5.42	16	1	0
35.6 to Inzamam-ul-Haq, Inzamam coming down the wicket with a totally inappropriate cut or pull, hard to tell really, misses, Flower muffs the stumping at the 1st attempt, but Inzamam was too lazy to go back to his crease, Flower had time to uproot a stump. 183/3

5.5 to GW Flower, no doubt about that one, great delivery, a treat to watch, slight outswing on the yorker, thru the gate, into the middle and leg stump. 12/1 33.2 to PA Strang, thick edge flies wide of the slips, no! Azhar sticks out his right hand and the ball sticks, what a great catch. 110/7
Abdul Razzaq	9	1	25	3	2.77	38	1	0
9.3 to MW Goodwin, pulling it straight down the throat of the mid wicket, good shot, shame about the fielder in the way. 28/2 13.4 to A Flower, Flower jumping to play that ball, it had extra bounce with no anchovies, inside edge rolls away and just flicks the leg stump. 46/3 15.2 to ADR Campbell, another great captain's innings from Campbell, top edge goes down the nanny goat of Akram at mid on, he was pulling and obviously pulling badly. 50/4
Saqlain Mushtaq	6.3	1	16	3	2.46	27	0	0
40.1 to HK Olonga, big swing and miss, Moin takes off the bails, it's Def Con 2. 123/8 40.2 to AG Huckle, big swing and miss, Moin takes off the bails, it's Def Con 1. 123/9 40.3 to M Mbangwa, and he's got it! Mbangwa looks lucky to know which end of the bat to hold, ball was heading to the leg stump, batsman trying to play it on the on side. 123/10

Azhar Mahmood	8	1	14	2	1.75	37	0	0
26.1 to GJ Whittall, quick and outside the off stump, Whittall trying to drive thru the covers, EDGED! and to the 1st slip. 83/5 28.2 to NC Johnson, around the wicket, seaming in, into the pads, big appeal, Bucknor raises his finger to dismiss Johnson, Zimbabwe and India. 95/6
