[Match Thread] Zimbabwe Pakistan 2nd test

I am a bit nervous about 264 I have to say. If Younis and Misbah set up shop it is achievable for Pakistan.

264... it would be Pakistan's third highest successful run chase in Tests if they pull it off. We have a game on our hands!

If Utseya looks like going at 3 an over again I would not persist with him. With all the cracks and uneven bounce I'd be more inclined to go with H Masakadza and Chigumbura over Utseya who looked unthreatening in the first innings.

Yeah, definitely need to get those two cheaply.

Really dissapointing batting display when the opportunity for a dominant position was only a few runs away.

Another 15 overs batted and we'd have had the 300 lead and time to win as well.

Having said that 264 is still very defendable. We would certainly have taken this position at the beginning of the game. If the bowlers believe and operate with discipline then the pitch will help us out.

Minds need to remain strong - especially amongst the catching staff.

...and amongst our bowlers. Can't afford to panic now.

Needed that one desperately. Vitori didn't get off to a very good start, but he was still involved in that first wicket!
