46.2 - Riaz to Charles Coventry, SIX, hammered! Banged in halfway down the wicket, Coventry was expecting that, transfers his weight onto the back foot, pulls it over deep mid-wicket for a maximum. That was hit with utter disdain

44.3 - Riaz to S Raza, SIX, length delivery and Raza dispatches it into the crowd. It was on off and middle, Raza clears his front leg and hoicks it over deep mid-wicket, that sounded great once the ball made contact with the bat

36.2 - Shoaib Malik to S Raza, SIX, lovely shot! Good use of the feet. Flighted delivery on off, Raza skips out of the crease, gets to the pitch and lofts it handsomely, just about clears the rope at long-off

48.4 - Riaz to Cremer, out Caught by (sub)Ahmed Shehzad!! Cremer goes trying to up the ante. It was the slower one on off, Cremer backs away to the leg-side, he wanted to go inside out, doesn't get the elevation, picks out the fielder at extra cover. The umpire wanted to check for the no-ball, the front foot is fine. Cremer c (sub)Ahmed Shehzad b Riaz 2(3)

46.5 - Riaz to Charles Coventry, out Caught by Sarfraz Ahmed!! Riaz strikes for the first time today.

Charles Coventry c Sarfraz Ahmed b Riaz 10(8) [6s-1]

44.0 - Anwar Ali to Mutumbami, out Caught by Shafiq!! This might be a blessing in disguise for Zimbabwe. Mutumbami was having a tough time in the middle. He finally departs. Slower ball, on short of length, Mutumbami shimmies down the wicket, is deceived by the lack of pace, the flat-batted hit goes straight to extra cover. Mutumbami c Shafiq b Anwar Ali 7(26)

34.3 - Shoaib Malik to Chibhabha, out Caught by Sarfraz Ahmed!! Oh dear! Anti-climax! Chibhabha stands his ground and looks up at the sky. He can't believe that the umpire raised his finger. He has to wait for his maiden hundred. Nonetheless, a fantastic innings comes to an end. It was tossed up outside leg, spun further away, Chibhabha kneels down and looks to sweep, misses and Sarfraz Ahmed collects, goes up for the caught behind. Umpire Shozab Raza took a long time before raising the dreaded finger. Closer replays suggest that the ball might have brushed the handle of the bat.

Sean Williams c and b Yasir Shah 5(9)

24.2 - Yasir Shah to H Masakadza, out Caught by Hafeez!! Yasir Shah strikes and the stand-in skipper Masakadza makes a slow walk back to the hut. This was floated up outside off, Masakadza goes for the reverse sweep and the ball hits him around the glove area, goes onto the foreram and lobs up in front of the slip, Hafeez dives forward and takes a good catch. Masakadza will be very disappointed with himself as the slip was put in place just before this ball and he might not even have hit it. H Masakadza c Hafeez b Yasir Shah 18(20) [4s-2]

18.3 - Hafeez to Sibanda, out Bowled!! Finally, Sibanda's struggle at the crease comes to an end. Sibanda gives the charge to this tossed up delivery turning in towards the stumps, he fails to connect with the ball and it crashes into the off stump. Sibanda b Hafeez 13(47)

49.4 - Anwar Ali to S Raza, 1 run, Raza registers his 2nd ODI ton. The crowd also appreciate the knock. They are up on their feet applauding the effort.

18.5 - Cremer to Azhar Ali, FOUR, nice friendly full toss on off, Ali stays leg-side of the ball and drives, cover dives in vain and he split sweeper cover and long-off to perfection
