37.2 -
John Nyumbu to Wilson, FOUR, slightly short and Wilson pounces on it. Backs away slightly and places the cut to the right of point, once it beat the fielder it was always heading in one direction - boundary ropes that is
34.0 -

32.1 -
W Masakadza to N O'Brien, byes, FOUR, this one might have hit one of those cracks. But Ireland won't mind that as four extra runs are added to their total.

30.4 -

9.5 -
Luke Jongwe to Stirling, FOUR, that chance off the second ball in this over might be hindering the rhythm of Jongwe. He overpitches outside off and Stirling makes the most of it, leaning into a perfect cover drive and piercing the gap on the off-side, no need to run for those
9.3 -

25.5 -
S Raza to N O'Brien, SIX, tonked! Floated up by Raza, O'Brien comes down the track and lofts it through the line, mid-on was up in the ring and even if he was on the boundary rope, he would have been a mere spectator as the ball sails over the fence
24.0 -
S Raza to N O'Brien, SIX, dropped and Zimbabwe concede six runs as well. O'Brien came down the track on this occasion, goes for a mighty slog, ends up hitting it high in the air, Chibhabha from long-off moves across to his left, gets both hands to it but can't hold on. To make matters worse, the ball drops over the rope. In fact, Chibhabha seems to have injured himself here. The physio is out and tending to him. Looks like he is fine now
47.5 -
W Masakadza to J Mooney, out Wilson Run Out!! Lucky wicket for Zimbabwe but they won't mind it one bit. This was full on the stumps, Mooney drills it hard and hits it very straight, so straight that the ball hits the stumps at the non-striker's end. Wilson was out of his crease in search for a single, Masakadza had the presence of mind to run back quickly, he picks the ball and takes one of the remaining stumps out of the ground to send Wilson on his way back. Wilson run out (W Masakadza) 65(55) [4s-6 6s-3]
45.5 -
Panyangara to K O'Brien, out Caught by S Raza!! A brilliant catch from Raza. After taking 3 wickets, he has taken a stunning catch as well and it's the big-hitting Kevin O'Brien who has to go.

31.2 -
S Raza to N O'Brien, out Balbirnie Run Out!! Absolute miscommunication and Balbirnie has to trudge back. This was full and outside off, O'Brien drives to the right of extra cover and called for a quick single, Balbirnie was slow in taking off. Waller gets to the ball quickly and fires an accurate throw to the keeper who does the rest. Wicket just at the wrong tome for the visitors. Balbirnie run out (M Waller/Mutumbami) 12(12) [4s-1]
27.5 -
S Raza to Stirling, out Lbw!! Raza gets his second wicket of the day. This one spins back in on the off stump line, Stirling was looking to push at it, fails to connect and the ball hits him on the pad. The umpire raised his finger in a flash to send Stirling on his way back. Stirling lbw b S Raza 72(77) [4s-9]
21.4 -
S Raza to Ed Joyce, out Lbw!! Raza gets his man. Joyce was playing for the turn here and that's been his undoing. Raza bowls the arm ball from round the wicket, Joyce fails to lay any bat on it, wears it on the pad and in line with the stumps. Umpire Matibiri had no doubts about giving that out. Ed Joyce lbw b S Raza 17(46) [4s-2]
7.1 -
Luke Jongwe to Porterfield, out Caught by C Ervine!! Luke Jongwe gets the reward for hitting the good length on a consistent basis.

Porterfield c C Ervine b Luke Jongwe 8(22) [4s-2]
