Muzarabani to Azmatullah Omarzai, no run
Edged and through to the keeper! No! Marumani has grassed it! Poor outing by Zimbabwe in all three departments today. Shortish ball and Omarzai backs away to swipe it across the line, gets too big on him and connects a feather touch with the outside part of the bat. A…

Nyamhuri to Ibrahim Zadran, 2 wides

Masuku to Noor ul Rahman, OUT
Noor ul Rahman lbw b Masuku 0 (2b)
Silver duck for Noor! Back of a length ball on the stumps, tries to bunt it down off the back foot and plays down the wrong line, thuds the inner thigh pad in front of the stumps. Masuku pleads enthusiastically for the lbw, and the umpire finally raises his finger!
