Blessing Muzarabani to Sarfraz Ahmed. Yorker, outside off stump moves in front Steer, to backward point for 2 runs, fielded by Tiripano.
A decent total from Pakistan after being inserted this morning. They have made 308-7 with the top two being the main scorers. Imam ul-Haq (128) and Fakhar Zaman (60) got Pakistan off to a flyer at the beginning but in the middle-overs nobody seemed to get out of third gear. That has meant that although the total is over 300 Zimbabwe won't be fazed by the prospect of trying to chase this down. Join us after this break for the resumption of the second innings.

FOUR! Blessing Muzarabani to Asif Ali. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed past deep point for 4 runs. Yorker just missed and the width is there to smack away. A classical square drive all along the grass.
45.4
FOUR! Blessing Muzarabani to Asif Ali. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot cutting, well timed in the air under control past deep backward point for 4 runs. Poor delivery at this stage of an innings. Width and bounce on offer which Asif cuts firmly over the head of point.

OUT! Bowled. Shadab Khan to Blessing Muzarabani. Googly length ball, outside off stump on the back foot cutting, inside edge to.
All over in Bulawayo. Shadab finishes it off as Muzarabani chops back onto the stumps to give Pakistan victory by a huge 201 runs. With ball in hand Pakistan were superb and they didn't give anything away from the start. Usman Khan started the free-fall with two quick scalps at the top and from then on Zimbabwe continued to lose wickets. Ryan Murray might remember his debut fondly after finishing unbeaten on 32 and looking solid in the process but he was the only one. The teams now have a couple of days off before they face-off on the same ground, hopefully the hosts can improve and give their fans a better performance.
