Six! That is a lovely shot. The batter has just lofted this with fine timing and cleared the ropes too.
Duan Jansen is back.
Wide yorker, on the off side, Brad Evans looks to go big downtown, but can only squeeze it back to the bowler.
Nails the yorker in, does Maphaka. Brad Evans looks to work it across, but gets an inside edge onto the front pad.
Swing and a miss! Short and slanted down leg, Brad Evans swings for pull but misses to connect. Surprisingly, it is not called a wide. May have brushed something on its way to the keeper.
Full and slow, on the off stump. Muzarabani eases it in front of point with soft hands and they amble across for a run.
Toe-crushing yorker from around the stump, angling in and around leg. Blessing Muzarabani's head falls over while trying the flick but gets a leading edge and the ball rolls to the off side.
Blessing Muzarabani is the last man in.
OUT! HIGH UP AND CAUGHT BEHIND! Maphaka breaks an entertaining partnership for the ninth wicket. Coming around the wicket, Maphaka angles this one into the batter, rolling his fingers over the ball. Matigimu goes for the big hoick but can only get a top edge, and the keeper, Connor Esterhuizen, does the rest, backpedalling a touch before completing a tidy catch. South Africa are on the verge of triumphing in the finale. Zimbabwe are 133/9.
Kwena Maphaka (1-0-8-0) comes back.
