- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR36.2 beauty! A short of a length ball, leaving the batter. Porterfield looks to push at it, gets a thin outside edge and Chakabva makes no mistake 153/322.3 an excellent catch by Raza but Stirling isn't leaving his crease. The soft signal is not out. Fuller on the stumps, Stirling looked to work it on the leg side, it came off the toe end of the bat and lobbed to the left of short midwicket. Raza took a couple of steps sideways and flung himself to his left to take it one-handed. Think Stirling felt it was a bump ball but replays show it bounced just before he hit it. Zimbabwe finally get the first breakthrough 82/134.5 nabbed at fine leg! The ball was short on middle and leg, and Balbirnie again pulled this one on length. But this was hit behind the wicket to fine leg, where Taylor went low to complete the grab. Massive wicket for Zimbabwe, after Balbirnie was suddenly looking threatening there 151/248.4 short of length angling across. Goes for the pull but gets a top edge that lobs straight up. Ngarava pedals back and takes it behind the stumps 267/542.4 taken at deep square leg this time! Shumba just had to take a few steps behind to complete that. Good cameo from Dockrell comes to an end, as he walks back with a shake of a head. Another short delivery on off, and he swivelled to pull again, much like the second ball of the over. But this is played right into the hands of the man at the fence, who completes an easy take 201/449.1 fuller outside off, swings across but doesn't get enough on it. Masakadza stays calm near the deep midwicket boundary and pouches it 268/649.3 fuller around off, mistimes the slog towards wide long-on. They are going for the second. The throw is at the keeper's end, not a very accurate one but Chakabva does to break the stumps to find a diving Simi Singh well short 270/749.4 down the track but Jongwe bowls it wide outside off. Too wide in fact and McBrine fails to connect it. They are going for a run regardless. The keeper throws the ball to the bowler, straight into the hands and he breaks the stumps to find McBrine well short. He tried to dive but got into a tangle, with his bat falling from his hand 277/8Extras14 (lb 1, w 13)TOTAL282/8 (50 Overs, RR: 5.64)Did not bat: JB LittleFall of wickets: 1-82 (Paul Stirling, 22.3 ov), 2-151 (Andy Balbirnie, 34.5 ov), 3-153 (William Porterfield, 36.2 ov), 4-201 (George Dockrell, 42.4 ov), 5-267 (Harry Tector, 48.4 ov), 6-268 (Lorcan Tucker, 49.1 ov), 7-270 (Simi Singh, 49.3 ov), 8-277 (Andy McBrine, 49.4 ov)
