- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR12.6 And gets him now! Length ball, yorker and then short ball. The classic setup does the trick. This one was dug in, but didn't bounce all that much. Gumbie gets low and looks to uppercut this but it's straight at the keeper, who takes a good catch overhead 48/211.4 Kaleemullah Kleans him up! That nagging line and length from around the wicket, which Ervine has been uncomfortable with, eventually pays off. This one is another that's on a good length, but it nips in a touch off the surface as Ervine looks to drive on the up. But it goes through the gap and crashes into the top of off! 46/144.5 And Williams holes out in the deep! He falls eight short of back-to-back 150s, as Bulawayo serenades him. This was full on off, and Williams looks to go big over long-on but gets a bit too under this as it goes high but not all that far. Prajapati holds on well coming in from long-on 276/622.4 has Madhevere been stumped? We go upstairs! Looped up beautifully on a full length outside off stump. Madhevere tries to swipe it away but is very early into the stroke. Loses his balance completely, and he seems to over-balance a touch. The back foot gets dragged out of the crease but has Madhevere made it back before the keeper has whipped off the bails? Does not look like it. His back foot is on the line when the bails are dislodged, and Oman have their third! Superb glovework Naseem Khushi to collect it cleanly and then effect the stumping! 112/338.2 Huge appeal and given! Cracking delivery from Fayyaz, who tails this in on a yorker length and looks to have struck Raza in front of middle and leg. Raza though wastes little time in reviewing. Is this sliding down leg? No it is not! Three reds and Raza must go. That's a big wicket, as you get the sense Raza was ready to tee-off. 214/442.4 full on the pads, big appeal as Burl looks to work this onside. Oman have reviewed This has missed the bat and hit him flush on the boot, but is it outside the line of leg stump? Nope, and that's a great review! This is hitting in line and going to crash into the base of leg stump. 255/547.6 And now he's trapped him! Masakadza reviews though, but I suspect more in hope. This was pace-off and full. Wellington goes for the sweep but is very early on the stroke. This hits Wellington's glove which is in front of the front pad, but crucially, it's off the bat handle. Three reds and he has to walk 305/7Extras6 (lb 2, nb 3, w 1)TOTAL332/7 (50 Overs, RR: 6.64)Fall of wickets: 1-46 (Craig Ervine, 11.4 ov), 2-48 (Joylord Gumbie, 12.6 ov), 3-112 (Wessly Madhevere, 22.4 ov), 4-214 (Sikandar Raza, 38.2 ov), 5-255 (Ryan Burl, 42.4 ov), 6-276 (Sean Williams, 44.5 ov), 7-305 (Wellington Masakadza, 47.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR34.5 What a sensational catch from Raza! And is that the game?! Prajabati looking to up the rate, hits this straight up in the air over midwicket, where Raza runs back, staring into the bright Bulawayo sun, and grabs this as it falls over his shoulder, by the skin of his fingertips! 190/34.4 another massive appeal! Back of a length delivery on off stump that decks back in. Jatinder is caught on the crease and does not account for the inward movement, playing down the wrong line eventually. The ball hits him on the knee roll of the front pad but the umpire is unmoved. Zimbabwe go upstairs! No bat involved and Ball Tracking shows that the ball would have crashed into leg stump! Muzarabani with the breakthrough for Zimbabwe! 29/121.1 Raza strikes! Or has he? This has been reviewed straight away by Ilyas. This was short of a length and wide, Ilyas goes for the cut and the Gumbie goes up straight away after taking the catch behind the stumps. Raza too is elated. And Ultra Edge shows that this did indeed nick the toe-end of the bat on the way through. Ilyas gets the bad news and has to go. End of an dangerous looking stand. 112/249.6 Chatara finishes it off with a scalp! Zimbabwe win by 14 runs! Full delivery on middle and off stump. Maqsood tries to tonk it into next week but loses his shape completely. Slices it terribly and the fielder on the long off fence settles under it and completes the catch! 318/944.4 holes out to deep square leg! Muzarabani has three! Dug into the track on middle and off stump. Ayaan tries to open up his stance and smear it over deep square leg. Gets a decent chunk of it but does not get enough elevation. Arrows it to Masakadza, who snaffles up a smart, low catch! 263/638.5 Ngarava gets Shoaib! And he is absolutely pumped! Banged into the track outside off stump and this one rushes onto the batter. Shoaib is trying to hoick it away but is half-way through the swing when the ball pings the splice of his bat and loops up. Ngarava runs to his left, stretches out and completes a superb catch! Zimbabwe keep chipping away; Oman keep slipping further into trouble! 217/442.5 soft dismissal! Why bowl bouncers when you can get wickets with a full toss! Outside off stump and Naseem, trying to get it over the fielders at extra cover and mid off, ends up picking out extra cover to absolute perfection. He could have hit it absolutely anywhere but he could only find the fielder! 248/545.1 what an excellent bit of fielding by Jongwe at long on! High full toss outside off stump. Kaleemullah sits deep in his crease and pounds it towards long on. Jongwe catches it on the fence and then realises that he might step onto the ropes. Juggles it once, juggles it twice and then completes the catch. He looks happy enough with his effort but the umpires want to have another look. The height of the delivery is checked first and the third umpire is satisfied. Now, time to decide on the catch. No movement detected on the boundary cushion, and Kaleemullah will have to walk back to the shed! 268/747.1 and he strikes! Brilliant yorker that starts on off stump and seems to tail into the batter late. Butt has a swish across the line and misses, getting pinned on the pads. The umpire has no hesitation in raising his finger but Butt reviews because, well, why not! There is a spike but that might have been of the bat hitting the ground. Three reds on Ball Tracking and Butt has to go! 294/8Extras20 (b 1, lb 3, nb 2, w 14)TOTAL318/9 (50 Overs, RR: 6.36)Did not bat: Bilal KhanFall of wickets: 1-29 (Jatinder Singh, 4.4 ov), 2-112 (Aqib Ilyas, 21.1 ov), 2-156* (Zeeshan Maqsood, retired not out ), 3-190 (Kashyap Prajapati, 34.5 ov), 4-217 (Shoaib Khan, 38.5 ov), 5-248 (Naseem Khushi, 42.5 ov), 6-263 (Ayaan Khan, 44.4 ov), 7-268 (Kaleemullah, 45.1 ov), 8-294 (Fayyaz Butt, 47.1 ov), 9-318 (Zeeshan Maqsood, 49.6 ov)
