2 runs, played towards mid wicket.
Good length, around off, Hashmatullah Shahidi guides this to deep third for one.
Short again, on leg, Sediqullah Atal hooks this to fine leg for a run.
On a length, around off, Hashmatullah Shahidi defends this to covers for no run.
Good length, on off, Hashmatullah Shahidi keeps it out.
Short and on middle and off, Sediqullah Atal pulls this through mid-wicket for one run.
Atal is stranded at the other end as he sees a streak of wickets falling from the other. The decision to swap Ernest into the XI has proved to be fruitful for Zimbabwe today. The Chevrons have slowly but surely made a comeback in the contest. Hashmatullah Shahidi is in at number 6.
OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Fantastic catch behind the stumps by Brendan Taylor and Ernest Masuku has his third of the game. Ernest Masuku bowls it full and wide of off, and Azmatullah Omarzai throws his bat at it to access the off side, but does not move his feet at all and outside edges it to the keeper's right. Brendan Taylor, turning back the years at 40, athletically dives to his right and plucks it one-handed. Masuku is pumped up to bits and why not? He has been the most impactful bowler for the Chevrons today.
Masuku bowls it full and on middle and leg, Azmatullah Omarzai punches this on the bounce, back to the bowler.
On a length, around middle and leg, Azmatullah Omarzai tucks this to the right of the bowler for no run.
