3.3 to D Myers, taken at short fine. Myers' plan is to clear that man because Abdollah is the only one saving runs behind square leg. The ball is there for it. Short and straight enough. The field is there for it with very little protection behind square on the leg side. But he just can't get good enough contact to clear the infield and get his boundary. Mujeeb strikes early again. 22/1
5.4 to BRM Taylor, taken at mid-off. Not being to the pitch of the ball, and it turning the wrong way, does Taylor in. It's full. It's on the stumps. Taylor tries to force it up and over the bowler, but is never in control. One hand comes off the bat, which then angles away to the off side, and a simple catch results. 34/3
403218.00105000
4.4 to BJ Bennett, top edge and taken at midwicket. The effort to close the face and slog against the left-armer's angle goes awry. Fareed is rewarded for doing the basics right, hitting the pitch hard and getting some slight seam movement away. Bennett under pressure plays a big shot and it doesn't come off. 24/2
30933.00100000
16.1 to Sikandar Raza, wicket first ball. Raza looked the best of the Zimbabwe batters but he falls now, popping a return catch to his opposite number. He was just trying to thump the ball back where it came from, maybe looking for a four straight down the ground. But Rashid's got good reflexes and he stuck out a right hand and it sticks. 104/6
16.4 to T Musekiwa, superb catch on the long-on boundary. Nabi's been everywhere today and now he's just showing off, running to his left, leaping up and taking the catch reverse cup just in front of the fence. A loopy delivery had Musekiwa thinking he could go big, but not quite big enough. 105/7
18.5 to B Evans, looks to sweep and is trapped right in front. Strangely he's almost through the shot by the time the ball, lobbed up, comes down to strike him on the bottom of the front pad.. 121/9
3.302828.0052000
10.3 to RP Burl, bounces him out. Cramping Burl. Climbing on him. He tries to swat it off his face, into the leg side, but the ball skews off towards point instead, where Sediq runs back and picks up a smart catch. So that ankle problem he picked up earlier in the field is no bother now after treatment. 57/4
19.3 to WP Masakadza, charges out, doesn't make contact and the yorker sends his off stump flying. That's the end of the innings.. 125/10
302016.6672000
13.4 to T Munyonga, yorks him! That's top stuff from Nabi. Shifts around the wicket and lasers it in at the stumps. Munyonga is a little lax. He doesn't pick that this seam-up delivery; that though it is full it has a lot more danger attached to it. Winds up again and by the time he realises he needs to adjust, he's already done. 80/5

7.2 to Sediqullah Atal, Atal sees the left-arm spinner and thinks it's his match-up to go after. That brings about his downfall. Masakadza angles this wide from around the wicket, it's fairly full. Atal is looking to take it over the wide long-on boundary. But the angle ensures it skews off the outer half of his bat, and straight into the hands of a waiting Ryan Burl at long-off.. 61/2

2.6 to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, One shot too many from Gurbaz. Evans sticks to that back of a length, Gurbaz advances and looks to mow it over midwicket, but it hits him high on the bat, and it lobs up into the hands of the mid-on fielder Maposa, who takes it comfortably.. 24/1
14.3 to Darwish Rasooli, Short ball does the trick for Evans! He bangs it in short around off stump, Darwish looks to play the upper cut, both his feet are off the ground when he makes contact with the ball. Doesn't get the distance on that shot, and it lands in Maposa's hands at third.. 94/3
