2.1 Around the wicket, shimmies down leg side well before the ball release, Masakadza follows him, cleverly pulls his length back and Farhan finds himself in a tangle; already made his mind to go big and couldn't bail out of the stroke; heaved away into the air and caught in deep cover; wasted an opportunity to make an impression. He has been a consistent performer in domestic cricket but has found it tough at international level, will be gutted with himself 9/2

1.2 Zimbabwe get the early breakthrough! Omair rides the bounce and tries to ramp it up and over deep third but finds the fielder to perfection; Ngarava takes a few steps in from the deep and pouches it well in his safe hands. That ball leapt alarmingly off the surface and wasn't timed to perfection and he launched the ball straight into fielder's hands 4/1

3.6 There goes the third one! Easy catch. Pakistan being reckless in the powerplay. On a length and slanted into the pads, loose push towards midwicket and straight into the hands of fielder who didn't have to move a muscle to gobble it up. Pakistan in a spot of bother and need a partnership. 19/3

14.2 Around the wicket, slices it away to cover and Arafat just kept sprinting down the track and Salman wasn't interested at all. Terrible botch-up; throw not quite on target, Marumani gathers it well, recovers quickly and fires a throw at stumps, he had an eternity to aim at the stumps, no chance for batter to retrieve. Needless run-out as Pakistan find themselves in a pickle 92/6

7.4 Soft dismissal but the youngster gets his first wicket on his debut; he is absolutely ecstatic! There is no problem with the front-foot. It was on a length at middle, Tahir was trying a cheeky scoop and ended up getting a leading edge that settled into the keeper's mitts. Just when Pakistan started to steer the ship and things became settled down, they lose another wicket. It's the prized scalp of a dangerous batter who was looking good until this false stroke. It was a cross-seam delivery 52/4

11.5 Tossed up and turns away outside off, throws his bat at it and Myers at backward point takes a spellbinding catch, diving to his left and making sure to get his fingers underneath. Zimbabwe continue to pick wickets at regular intervals and it's the prized wicket of Akram who was trying to put pressure back but perished in the process. A useful innings nevertheless but the job is not done yet. Still plenty of overs to go. Burl bowled a beauty, tossing it up, giving it revs, and making sure it spins extravagantly. Raza would be a happy chappy 82/5

18.5 Another slower one on a length around leg-stump does the job; Abbas doesn't need second invitation and tries to go big and deposit it outside the park but ends up finding the fielder to perfection at deep backward square leg.It went high up in the air but just didn't get the requisite distance. Shot was on though. Madhevere has been a livewire in the field today 119/7

9.4 Caught in the deep! Half-tracker on middle, he has eons to place it wherever he wanted to, yanks his front leg out of the way and plonks it straight into the hands of Tayyab Tahir; looks crestfallen but he has provided Zimbabwe a solid foundation and stayed true to his methods 73/2

3.2 Soft dismissal! Everything was working perfectly for Zimbabwe and they were cruising but the introduction of spin bring a wicket straightaway. Around the wicket again, slower on a shorter length at middle, he gets stuck on the crease, cuffs it away to short square, Farhan dives forward and takes a nifty catch. Useful breakthrough for Pakistan. Looks like we'll see a lot of spin now 40/1

10.1 Over the wicket, length and angled in at off, thrashes it into the sky and picks out fielder at cow corner; worrying signs for the home side. This has been a familiar tale for Zimbabwe this series. The tendency to implode on show again even when they have everything under control. Minhas takes a sharp catch down his throat 75/3

17.6 Massive moment in the game! Jahandad gets the prized scalp of Zimbabwe's captain. He can't get it past long-on and Omair didn't have to move much to swallow it down his throat! Went leg-side to larrup it downtown but it was getting big on him, was in a tangle and couldn't get the requisite timing. This game keeps oscillating like a pendulum. It was thumped into the surface and cramped him for room 112/6

12.2 Bowls an absolute zinger! Bowls this on probing back of a length and it jagged back sharply to sneak through the gap between bat and pad, off-stump goes cartwheeling. What a heavenly sight for the bowler! He puts some extra effort behind that delivery and got it to zip back from outside off. Proved too hot to handle! Pinged the top of off 85/4

13.6 Oh dear! Around the wicket, floated up fuller, more flight on this occasion, slaps it to cover and there was a fumble, Burl wanted to pinch a run and there is a big mix-up in the middle, not a direct hit but right at the keeper who removes the bails in a flash. An unfortunate way to get out just when they were steering the ship again and getting control. Zimbabwe need wickets in hand 94/5

19.4 He miscues the skier and there is another twist in the tale! Dug in short outside off and the ball rises head height, he slinks back to tonk a pull but hasn't got all of it, Tayyab Tahir keeps his cool and pouches it well under pressure 132/8

18.5 Fraction short and angling in, looks stone dead, no confusion about it and the umpire raises the dreaded finger. Masakadza was looking to clip it away off his pads but didn't account for the angle and inward movement 120/7
