Zimbabwe's fielding has been better today. Which is very encouraging. Only 4 runs from Ngarava's 3rd over. Epic stuff. Zimbabwe has to finish strong here. Fingers crossed.

Huge huge difference in the body language, the crowd singing Wessy's name should do him great for confidence! More of what you had this morning Mr MAdhevere sir!

Gwandu's final over has been really impressive. Didn't realise he was/would be the death bowling option, but I guess he is taking the role Jongwe and his death bowling comes with that.

A good first innings: keeping one of the world best T20 nations at 153 is not bad at all.

The question is how to score at an almost 8 run rate against an attack with the world top spinner.

You can get after him. Kieron Pollard (I think) took 30 or something crazy of him in an over in the hundred. Some WI batter anyway.
