OUT! TAKEN! Sharp catch! Marumani stands there in disbelief. Not a wicket-taking delivery by any means, way too short, on off, there to be put away, Marumani presses on the back foot and pulls it flat and low towards mid-wicket where Tayyab Tahir reacts quickly and dives forward.

OUT! TAKEN! Sharp catch! Marumani stands there in disbelief. Not a wicket-taking delivery by any means, way too short, on off, there to be put away, Marumani presses on the back foot and pulls it flat and low towards mid-wicket where Tayyab Tahir reacts quickly and dives forward.
Is that Out? Joylord Gumbie hits the ball straight but low towards mid-wicket and the fielder takes the catch very close to the ground. The Umpires refer it upstairs to check if its a clean catch.

Welcome back for Zimbabwe's reply. Mohammad Rizwan has the helmet on as he makes his way out to the middle along with the rest of the Pakistan players, so, we could see spin from the first over. Indeed, the tourists are starting with spin in the form of Saim Ayub. It will be Joylord Gumbie and Tadiwanashe Marumani to open the innings for Zimbabwe. Let's play...
... THE RUN CHASE ...
