- BATSMENRB4s6sSR7.4 the leg stump takes a walk! This had to end sooner than later, he was swinging blindly at everything. Full and straight, once he missed, there was going to only be one result. Looked to wallop this over long-on, failed to connect 49/118.2 can't get to a century, but is at least the highest scorer for Zimbabwe in a T20I. Another short ball, he lined him up well and pulled this flat and hard, but found the man at deep midwicket. That was the biggest boundary in the ground. Magnificent innings nonetheless. 146/311.1 oh, dear. What have you done, skip? Tries the old almightly heave, misses as the wrong'un drifts in to miss the swing and crash into the stumps. 82/219.5 straight to long-on, as far as catches go, it can't come easier than that at the boundary. He looked to hit it a lot straighter, got this off the bottom. 161/4Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL162/4 (20 Overs, RR: 8.1)Fall of wickets: 1-49 (Cephas Zhuwao, 7.4 ov), 2-82 (Hamilton Masakadza, 11.1 ov), 3-146 (Solomon Mire, 18.2 ov), 4-161 (Tarisai Musakanda, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR11.4 high in the air, and mid-off runs across to his left to take the steepler. Big wicket, one brought out of frustration. Is there hope still for Zimbabwe? Not a sparkling Fakhar knock. He was looking to clear his front leg and wallop this over long-on, toe-ended it. 95/26.2 holes out to long-on, that's some relief for Zimbabwe. Haris didn't time this well at all, didn't get to the pitch but went through. There was some grip on that delivery, which meant the timing was off, good catch. Haris never looked comfortable today. 58/117.2 slices this straight to backward point. Again full and wide, this time he reached out to go over the infield but just couldn't get enough bat on it. Is there life in the game yet? 138/3Extras6 (w 6)TOTAL163/3 (19.1 Overs, RR: 8.5)Fall of wickets: 1-58 (Haris Sohail, 6.2 ov), 2-95 (Fakhar Zaman, 11.4 ov), 3-138 (Hussain Talat, 17.2 ov)
