0.6 to T Marumani, taken at mid-on! Marumani mistimes another attempted loft, but falls this time. The first thing that is checked, though, is Naveen's front foot, which is fine. He angled this in, and went full on the stumps. Marumani looked to whip across the line, but ended up getting a top edge to mid-on's left, as Nabi moved a few steps to grab it comfortably. 6/1 19.5 to WP Masakadza, loud cheers as the ball goes high in the air in the leg side but it dies quickly as the catch is taken by Omarzai inside the rope. It was a chance for Masakadza to get some runs because it was a full toss, but the slower ball didn't give him any pace to work with and he didn't get much distance. Easy catch for Omarzai at deep midwicket. 127/10 | ||||||||||

10.6 to Sikandar Raza, Raza runs out of luck and holes out eventually! He keeps going bang, bang, bang and perishes. Mujeeb pitches it shorter, perhaps expecting the sweep, and Raza almost middles that in the deep toward long leg where Omarzai takes a sharp running catch coming forward, completing it with a dive. 78/4 12.2 to W Madhevere, he tries to go the other side now but hands a catch to short third! Another one bites the dust. Goes for the reverse, doesn't middle it at all, and the leading edge is pouched nicely by Zubaid Akbari in the circle as he takes a few steps backwards towards the rope. 81/5 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 0 | 10 | 2 | 5.00 | 6 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | |
5.1 to D Myers, chipped to mid-on! Nabi's alert fielding continues... but at the cost of hurting his left shoulder. He moved slightly to his left as the ball landed into his lap, but seems to have landed bang on his left shoulder. The physio is out there to take a look at him. But this is what happened in the lead-up to that injury: the first replay indicates that the ball was dying on to him, and he just grabbed it off his right hand. Omarzai bowled it fullish while swinging it into middle and leg, and Myers ended up lofting it back to Nabi. The third umpire takes a few looks, and confirms Myers is out. 41/2 8.1 to BJ Bennett, this time taken by Naveen... at deep midwicket! Omarzai bowled it short and around off, and gets good bounce. Bennett ends up pulling it hard, but it's the longer side of the ground. The ball dies on towards Naveen, but he does well to take a low catch, before throwing the ball in frustration. 57/3 | ||||||||||
| 4 | 0 | 27 | 4 | 6.75 | 8 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 0 | |
14.3 to M Faraz Akram, loud appeal and given immediatey! Rashid sticks to the leg-stump line, this one hurries on to Akram and beats the sweep to strike him in front of leg stump and Rashid has his first wicket of the day. 93/6 16.1 to T Musekiwa, pulls the short ball straight to deep midwicket! Musekiwa rocked back for the short ball, packed some power into that pull but not enough to clear the fielder or the rope. Sediqullah Atal is standing a few yards inside the rope and takes it comfortably. 102/7 16.4 to R Ngarava, chipped straight to cover with a soft dismissal. Rashid can't hold his smile back, grinning from ear to ear as he gets his third of the day. A googly outside off, it gets some bounce too which probably surprises Ngarava as he sticks his bat in front to adjust and lobs the catch to the fielder. 106/8 16.6 to B Muzarabani, pinned right in front, it's the third wicket of the over! Muzarabani's front pad goes a long way across as Rashid fires one in towards the stumps with another wrong-un, and he's struck right in front for an easy decision. 106/9 | ||||||||||

2.4 to Zubaid Akbari, gone, extra bounce gets Akbari! Ngarava angled this in, and landed it just about outside off. The ball took off from the surface, even as it angled in to cramp Akbari for room. He looked to ride the bounce while shaping to slash, but ended up getting an edge behind for another catch for Marumani. 7/2 | ||||||||||

1.3 to Sediqullah Atal, gone, tickled to the keeper! Good catch as well. Atal looked to jab at it, but by the time he realised that the line wasn't ideal and he looked to withdraw his bat, it was too late. Muzarabani angled this across, and landed it on a length around off. The ball shaped away and again got some extra bounce, as it nudged the toe end of the bat, before Marumani dived forward to grab it. 4/1 5.2 to Darwish Rasooli, taken at point! The ball landed right into Myers' lap, as he went on his haunches to grab it. Muzarabani bowled this on the shorter side of a length around middle before the ball ended on leg, as Rasooli looked to clip this across the line. But seemed to have closed the face of the bat a bit too early, and hence got a leading edge, while also being done in by the extra bounce. 33/3 | ||||||||||

6.5 to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, this stays very low, and Gurbaz is gone! No bounce at all for the batter to work with, and that looked plumb. The length was rather pretty short on off, and the ball shaped back in a little to strike him somewhere around his knee, as he swivelled while looking to pull. Bad luck for Gurbaz, as Zimbabwe keep chipping away. 44/4 18.6 to Rashid Khan, fine leg takes it, the crowd erupts and Zimbabwe are right in the game! Rashid danced down even before the ball was released, he went for a hard-handed pull for the short ball outside off and didn't middle it at all, the ball was skied towards fine leg where Faraz Akram came in to grab it with both hands. 121/7 | ||||||||||

13.3 to Gulbadin Naib, there comes the breakthrough with some turn! Turning in from outside off with some pace, it strikes Naib on the back foot right in front of middle by beating the bat and given straightaway. 92/5 17.5 to Azmatullah Omarzai, Raza has done it again, and what a time to get the wicket! Omarzai will be so upset with himself. Just 14 needed from 14, he goes for an unnecessary swing across the line from outside off, gets a leading edge that goes high near the pitch and Raza settles under it by keeping his eyes on the ball till the end. 114/6 | ||||||||||
