Late reward for Pakistan pressure
Even though Zimbabwe dominated most parts of the third day by taking a 64-run lead and then building on it, three wickets in the last nine balls of the day brought the Pakistanis back and has given both the sides almost equal chances of winning the Test

'Not a bad decision to open with Utseya'
Two of the four wickets Zimbabwe lost on the third day were of bowlers as Vusi Sibanda could not open due to illness and Prosper Utseya accompanied Tino Mawoyo at the top of the order in the second innings. Panyangara, the nightwatchman who fell for a duck, said Utseya was the right replacement to open with, instead of sending another top-order batsman. Even though Utseya scored only 5, Panyangara defended the decision of openng with him.
"He [Sibanda] was off the field after lunch because he was not feeling well," Panyangara said. "The team decided Prosper would be the best one to go and open for us. If you look at it now, it wasn't that bad. As much as we didn't want to lose those wickets at the end, we are still in a good position because two of the guys who are out are not top order batsmen."
