    1.4 Rampaul takes out Masakadza. Big early blow this. What a cracker of a delivery. It landed short of length and suddenly reared up sharply chest-high of the startled and out of position Masakadza who just stabbed it behind. 11/1
    13.5 Sibanda is run out It was pushed to the off side ... Sibanda sets off for a run before stopping. Too late as Taibu keeps rushing on. Sibanda just stood there as Pollard swoops on the ball. Both batsmen are almost the striker's end. Easy run out . Pollard runs to the non-striker's end to take off the bails. 51/4
    8.1 Wicket first ball for Bravo. It landed on a length around off stump and Maruma leaned forward to defend. and the ball bounces rather late and bounds off the handle towards gully. Sammy dives forward to take a good catch 37/2
    9.2 Clatter..........The off stump has gone for a nice little walk. It was full, it started from outside off and moved in late. Brendon Taylor is very late in getting forward and leaves a big gaping hole between bat and pad. mistake! Timber! 38/3
    18.6 Another short delivery outside off stump, Taibu plays the upper cut but hits it straight to third man. Zimbabwe are really tottering again. What a royal mess they find themselves in. 62/6
    16.1 Matsikenyeri's misery ends. He never looked in and he is out now. Full delivery on the off stump line, straightening a bit and Matsikenyeri did many things wrong - he was late in getting forward, he stumbled out instead of taking a fluent step, he pushed out blindly, he assumed the ball would come in and lost his off stump. 53/5

    30.6 After two quick deliveries, Miller slows up the pace,and Lamb pushes out early and checks his shot and the ball lobs to the right of non-striker and Miller gets across in time with a lunging dive to take the catch 88/7
    43.5 goes for that pull shot again, connects but doesn't clear the deep backward square-leg fielder. Sammy celebrates by pumping his fist .. Good rear-guard action from Chigumbura ends 129/8
    45.2 moves outside leg stump, was thinking about the big hit over the off-side field but ended up shoveling the length delivery to cover. It lobs up for a simple catch. 130/9

    10.4 done in by the front-of-the-hand slider. Dead plumb in front. It landed on a length on middle and off line, and went on straight to take him out 62/3
    6.1 backs away to the leg side and ends up reaching out for his lofted off drive and is caught right at the long-off boundary. The entertainment is over. 46/1
    9.1 Chanderpaul is out. Short in length outside off, Chanderpaul tries to pull it from there but top edges it to mid-on where Price holds the catch 51/2
    20.3 Trapped in front. West Indies continue to be clueless against spin. It landed on a length on middle stump line and just about straightened to hit him right in front. Ramdin was pushing his bat well outside the line. Cremer has really impressed in this series. Very good leggie. 93/4

    22.2 Bravo combusts! It was a flighted delivery around off stump and Bravo goes for an expansive inside-out drive and edges it straight to slip! Good bowling but what a self-destructive streak that was. 101/5
    33.3 flighted delivery on a length, dips rapidly on Pollard who pushes it rather lamely, rather tamely right back to the bowler. West Indies have really struggled against Zim spinners. 139/6
