Welcome back.. Sarfaraz Ahmed is opening with Azhar Ali. Hafeez sprained his leg while attempting to catch a six off Sikandar Raza..
Yasir Shah was the pick of the Pakistani bowlers. He picked up two wickets and conceded only 40 runs in his 10 overs. Riaz was a bit wayward at the start of the innings, but came back well at the end. The Pakistani batsmen have a task on their hands. It is a good batting surface and they should fancy their chances of winning the series today. Join us back in a short while for the run-chase.....
Zimbabwe's innings was a tale of two knocks. First, Chibhabha batted freely and scored a well composed 99. He was very unlucky not to have scored a maiden hundred. Even though Sibanda was not fluent, Chibhabha kept going at the other end. The vistiors lost few quick wickets at the middle stage and that is when Raza came to the crease. He took his time to get going, but once he did, he carted the bowlers all round the park. At the start of the last over, he was on 96 and he managed to reach the landmark unlike Chibhabha. It was his second ODI ton and it has helped Zimbabwe post a decent total.

That brings us to the end of our coverage from this game. Both these sides will meet each other for one final time in this series on Sunday. Don't forget to join us then.
Azhar Ali: I think it was a great performance by the team. Obviously, you as a captain want to do well for the team. In both the series, my performances have been good. The seniors have taught me that you can only play your natural game to the best of your ability, that's the only thing you can do, as it is in your hands. The result though is not in your hands. I wanted to mould myself according to how the game has changed. Hopefully, I can continue with this form even longer. The boys did extremely well to contain the opposition to 268. Everyone is working hard and we will keep trying harder. Thanks to the crowd as well.
Azhar Ali spoke in Urdu. We have translated it for you.
Azhar Ali is the Man of the Match for his 104-ball 102
Masakadza: 'The guys really tried hard today. Raza and Chamu (Chibhabha) played really well, but we didn't get enough runs on the board. I thought the wicket was a little drier today, but we were 20-30 runs short. We need to play every game with the same kind of importance. We don't play that many games. The guys need to come out and play well in the final game.'
Earlier, Zimbabwe posted 268/7 in their 50 overs, riding on Raza's century and Chibhabha's 99. Although on a flat batting track, it was never going to be enough and Pakistan comprehensively defeated their opponents.
He was given good support by Asad Shafiq and the duo put on 85 runs for the third wicket. After Shafiq's departure, captain Ali was given good support by Haris Sohail. Ali though departed soon after getting to his second ODI ton. He also became the first Pakistani skipper to score a ton in a successful run-chase. Shoaib Malik walked out and hit some lusty blows towards the end, helping Pakistan chase the total down in the 48th over. Sohail too got to his fifty before the match got over.
With Hafeez injuring his leg while fielding, Sarfraz Ahmed was asked to open the innings with Azhar Ali. Both batsmen started off well, with Pakistan making steady progress in the first few overs before Sarfraz missed out on a sweep and was caught plumb in front. Hafeez then walked out but failed to get going as he fell for a 24-ball 15. Azhar Ali though continued to hold one end and played some superb shots throughout.
The players walk off the field after exchanging handshakes with each other. The Pakistani players and the support staff too walk out to shake hands with their counterparts.
