There was little joy for Canada after Ray Price pegged them back with three early wickets • Getty Images
0.1 Khurram Chohan to Taylor, OUT, is he trapped in front? First ball, it was an inswinger, landed just outside off and nipped back in, struck on the back pad as Taylor tried to close the face on that one. The umpire's given it out, Taylor's called for the referral. No impact with the bat, replays suggest it would have hit middle. The initial decision is upheld, Canada draw first blood
3.3 Baidwan to Coventry, OUT, swinging across the line is Coventry, poor choice of shot, on middle and leg and a hint of inswing. Coventry tried to flick it over square leg, missed and was trapped in front of leg. Didn't ask for the referral there. He consulted with Taibu who told him he was out, and that he surely was. Charles keeps us waiting, his post-194 form remains unsatisfactory
20.6 Davison to Ervine, SIX, clears the ropes, he's good with that sweep, fullish and he slog-sweeps it over the deep midwicket boundary, raises the 100 stand, an excellent effort after the openers were out in quick succession.
33.6 Balaji Rao to Taibu, OUT, Oh Taibu, what have you done? Three quick wickets and the Canadians are back, tossed up outside off and Taibu went for the slog-sweep, not a wholehearted one though. He got the top edge as he went against the turn and holed out to deep midwicket who's standing several yards in.
1.3 Price to Davison, OUT, Price strikes. What a performer for Zimbabwe, regularly opens the bowling, and hardly ever disappoints. Davison gives him the charge here, and plays down the wrong line of a flighted delivery that straightens ever so little. Enough to take the top of off. The bail hits the keeper in the throat.
22.5 Utseya to Rizwan Cheema, OUT, gone! Too short this eventful stay of Cheema has been. Dismissed by a juicy, leg-side full toss. Well he tried to hit a six, but was early into the shot, and off the back of the bat it lobbed straight to short fine leg. What do we look forward to now? Not much left for Canada.
