- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.6 Hamilton Masakadza backtracks from mid-off and completes an excellent overhead catch. Hafeez skips down the track and aims to hoist Jarvis over the Zimbabwe captain's head. But, Jarvis sees the advancing batsman and digs this one into the middle of the pitch, finds some extra bounce and foils the timing. Spliced in the air. Over to you, Hamilton 13/114.4 Chisoro floors the leg stump and pumps his fist. Back of a length and fizzes off the pitch - quicker dart from the left-arm spinner - Fakhar looks to muscle it over the leg side but loses his shape in the process. Chisoro sends the leg stump cartwheeling. What a sight for a bowler! 120/46.2 Chibhabha has Talat snicking behind. Back of a length and slanting away outside off from over the wicket, Talat seeks to steer it down to deep third man. Instead, he tickles it much finer to Moor behind the stumps 44/29.6 leading edge and a simple catch at cover! Gorgeous work from Chisoro, holding the length back a touch, pulling the pace off the ball too. Sarfraz plays the original line of the ball, drifting into leg stump, looking for a single to midwicket. He's early on the shot and he's off to the dressing room early as well 78/3Extras10 (lb 1, w 9)TOTAL182/4 (20 Overs, RR: 9.1)Fall of wickets: 1-13 (Mohammad Hafeez, 1.6 ov), 2-44 (Hussain Talat, 6.2 ov), 3-78 (Sarfaraz Ahmed, 9.6 ov), 4-120 (Fakhar Zaman, 14.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.3 tossed up on middle stump, Mire goes for a biiiiig sweep but does not get all of it. He simply skies it in the air. Hasan Ali settles under this nicely. Zimbabwe three down 57/30.6 another arm ball, this fetches Nawaz a wicket. Slid in with the angle from around the stumps, catches Chibhabha on the crease. He plays around his front pad and is trapped in front of middle. That's very adjacent 1/14.5 Hasan Ali wins this battle! here comes Hamilton: down the track and looks for the booming drive through the covers. But this full ball swings away, fetches the outside edge, straightforward catch for Sarfraz behind the stumps 22/216.1 Usman bowls a heavy ball on off stump. Musakanda looks to ping it over the leg-side infield. Instead, he skews a catch to Shadab at mid-off. It's all going pear-shaped for Zimbabwe 102/610.6 Shadab bursts through the defences of Moor. Pushed through on off stump, spins in, Moor looks to heave the wrong'un across the line. He misses, Shadab, however, hits his target 64/413.4 six, four, and out! Nice comeback from Hasan Ali. Slower offcutter from Hasan, Chigumbura does not pick the variation, as he's early into his big shot. Hasan hits the off stump and sends it cartwheeling 88/517.2 Hafeez tosses an offbreak up on off stump, Burl shapes for a reverse-sweep but the extra bounce Hafeez generates means the top edge is found. Lobbed to short third man, where Malik takes it with ease 107/816.5 Usman has Chisoro nicking off. No celebration at all from the bowler. Fuller than a good length, angling in from wide of the crease, then straightening away in the channel. Chisoro, who is rooted to the crease, stabs at the moving ball and hands a catch to Sarfraz 105/717.5 Hafeez tosses up another offbreak, starts outside off and breaks back in. Muzarabani aims for a mighty leg-side swipe but the bowler sneaks through his defences and hits the top of middle stump 108/10Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL108 all out (17.5 Overs, RR: 6.05)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Chamu Chibhabha, 0.6 ov), 2-22 (Hamilton Masakadza, 4.5 ov), 3-57 (Solomon Mire, 9.3 ov), 4-64 (Peter Moor, 10.6 ov), 5-88 (Elton Chigumbura, 13.4 ov), 6-102 (Tarisai Musakanda, 16.1 ov), 7-105 (Tendai Chisoro, 16.5 ov), 8-107 (Ryan Burl, 17.2 ov), 9-108 (Blessing Muzarabani, 17.5 ov)
