- BATSMENRB4s6sSR7.1 Two in two for Zimbabwe! Fuller in length around the fifth stump. Curran looks for an expansive drive but his feet don't go anywhere. Ends up getting a thick outside edge which is snapped up by the keeper with ease. 41/43.2 CLEANED UP with a peach! The ball started well outside off stump and shaped back biiiiiig time to breach Marumani's defences who was looking for a booming drive on the up. The middle stump has been flattened. 13/13.3 He's gone first ball. And that's a great catch by Mohammad Nabi at second slip. Good length ball with a hint of seam movement away from Bennett, who slashes at it, gets a thick edge but Nabi at second slip dives to his right and snaps up a good take 13/26.6 Huge appeal for lbw and the umpire agrees. Almost the perfect delivery from Ghazanfar. Was the carrom ball that goes on straight and catches Myers right in front of the stumps. He stayed back, and once he missed, that was always going to be plumb. 41/37.4 And another one! Omarzai is on a roll! Fuller-length ball around fourth stump shaping away late. Williams hangs his bat out, gets a thick outside edge and that's another easy catch for the keeper. 41/5Extras9 (w 9)TOTAL44/5 (9.2 Overs, RR: 4.71)Fall of wickets: 1-13 (Tadiwanashe Marumani, 3.2 ov), 2-13 (Brian Bennett, 3.3 ov), 3-41 (Dion Myers, 6.6 ov), 4-41 (Ben Curran, 7.1 ov), 5-41 (Sean Williams, 7.4 ov)
