1 run, played towards mid off.
Make that five dots in a row in this over.
This is good bowling by Raza, building some pressure with dot balls.
Full again, on off, smothered away to the left of the bowler by Marsh.
A bit fuller, slipping it just down leg at 91 kph. Marsh looks for the fine tickle but gets hit on the pads.
Nagging length, at the stumps and drifting in. Marsh blocks it back to the bowler.
DRINKS! Australia are firmly in control of this game, with the two openers completely bossing the game. Both have notched up their respective fifties and will be looking to extend this opening stand even further, as they already have the platform to post a massive score. Zimbabwe have not been that bad with the ball, but it has been a batting masterclass from the Aussies. However, Sikandar Raza will be desperate to use this break and come up with some different plans to get back into this game, and that can only happen if they pick up wickets.
Flighted ball around off, Marsh leans on and strokes it through extra cover for a single.
SIX! All it takes is one bad ball, and Mitchell Marsh pounces on it. Also, that will be FIFTY for the Australian skipper, his 21st in ODIs. Marginally short from Masakadza, on middle and leg. Marsh rocks back quickly and powers the pull flat and into the boundary cushion at deep square leg.
Nagging length on off, Marsh stays put and jabs it towards cover.
