    10.1 and he strikes a vital blow for Zimbabwe with his first ball! Slices a ball outside off without the desired timing straight to the cover sweeper 103/1
    14.2 again on the pads and he flicks it flat into the deep, the batsmen hesitate in the middle of the pitch before Franklin decides to go for the second, puts in the full-stretch dive but a brilliant throw from Keegan Meth on the boundary nails the stumps direct with Franklin well short 142/2
    18.2 full toss on leg and he flicks it away again towards square leg but this one settles in the hands of Waller right on the rope and Zimbabwe wrestle back the initiative 180/4
    16.4 Zimbabwe get rid of the new boy with a full ball outside off, he tried to thrash it through the covers without moving the feet, gets a thick inside edge which careers into middle stump 160/3
    18.3 full outside off and he gets down a knee to slam it over the cover boundary but he slices it high into the air and it settles in the hands of Elton at deep cover, two wickets in two balls and Zimbabwe hold their catches at the crucial moments to get a firm grip on the game 180/5
