OUT! Caught. Fareed Ahmad to Richard Ngarava. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, outside edge, caught by Alikhil. That brings us to the end of the first innings. Zimbabwe could only produce a below-par score on the board, with Sean Williams the main contributor scoring 60 runs. For the visitors, AM Ghazanfar is the stand-out bowler picking up a five-wicket haul, also well supported by Rashid Khan with three wickets. Can the hosts perform a miracle and manage to defend this total? Or are Afghanistan about to cruise through the run-chase? Let's catch the second innings after the break!
