    31.5 he's gone! Bhurtel has been yorked for 99! Agony writ large on the Nepali's face, and a nation grieves with him! Williams comes up to pat him on the shoulder for a phenomenal, joyful innings, but an innings that ends one short of the most magnificent 100 171/1
    33.5 straight up in the air, and Burl takes a comfortable catch. Aasif falls, Harare erupts and Nepal wobble!. A lazy swipe across the line as Aasif tries to keep the momentum going for Nepal, but instead, plays a shot that sends him back to the pavilion. Zimbabwe hitting back in these last few overs, with two new batters at the crease 174/2
    44.3 Dishes out a full toss wide of off, a harmless delivery but he ends up spooning it straight to short extra cover where Ervine gobbles it up gleefully, got the toe-end of the bat. A useful and brisk 41 run knock that has given impetus to Nepal's innings 255/4
    43.1 Edged and taken! That's a scorching delivery banged into the pitch and it lifted insanely off the deck swirling away in the channel, he went for the hook looking a bit ungainly, edge fountained straight up and fell into the keeper's mitts. That was some serious pace and he was hurried into playing the hook shot. A timely scalp for Zimbabwe 246/3
    46.6 Another one bites the dust! Ngarava has the last laugh but wait, umpires are checking if the height of the delivery is alright. It was a high full-toss. There is no problem with the foot, well behind the line, batter was out of his crease and the on-field umpires signals out as Aarif starts to take the long walk back into the pavilion, his ebullience lasted 11 deliveries. Simple catch at mid-off for Ryan Burl 271/5
    48.2 What a comeback, that's a tremendous riposte from Ngarava, you just can't keep him out of action, livewire in the field and delivering the goods with the ball at death. Slams it on a shorter length, ball rising steeply as he goes for the pull but finds the fielder stationed perfectly for this false shot at deep midwicket, Williams charges in from deep and hangs onto it brilliantly. Wickets are tumbling 283/6
    49.4 Williams catches it like a bird catches its prey, Airee went for the big shot but couldn't clear deep midwicket. Undone by the slowness of the delivery and you could see he was getting frustrated with a barrage of dots piling up, he had to go for it. Zimbabwe have done well to pull things back in their favor in the last couple of overs 289/8
    48.3 Wickets continue to tumble for Nepal as they try to get to 300! Sharki succumbs to short-pitch stuff and lobs it in the air, regulation catch for the keeper and Ngarava is on a hat-trick! 283/7
