An unbeaten 90 from Brendan Taylor, the highest score of his first-class career, ensured that the Zimbabweans enjoyed a better second day in their tour match against the Pakistan Cricket Board Patron's XI at Lahore. When bad light forced a premature close, the tourists were 187 for 4 in reply to the Patron's XI's 529 for 9 declared, a deficit of 342.
Taylor's innings included a six and 15 fours, and helped prevent a collapse after the Zimbabweans were reduced to 106 for 3. Taylor added 81 for the fourth wicket before Yasir Arafat trapped Vusi Sibanda leg-before for 34 shortly before stumps.
The Patron's XI had resumed on 353 for 5, and although they lost two early wickets, Riaz Afridi, with a 53-ball 66, and Aamer Bashir put on a brisk 119 for the eighth wicket. Stuart Matsikenyeri removed Afridi, but Iftikhar Anjum kept Bashir company long enough for him to reach his hundred.
