Watched nearly all the way up til tea. The pitch didn’t look like it was doing much.

How was it for the rest of the day?

Zimbabwe's only real hope is to take advantage of early morning conditions and bowl Afg out ASAP. Then with slightly better batting conditions, try and chase this down.

Rashid Khan is still there along with a set batter, so the next wicket remains critical.

Conventional wisdom holds on this pitch, with the type of scores we've seen so far, that a target of 150 against this bowling attack would be difficult to chase. Afghans are probably targeting around 250, but they've probably got plenty of time to score as many as they can even with some rain around.

Thing is if the Afghans can pile on 350, then they will feel that Zimbabwe could also score some runs. Although I suspect, that ZIM will just crumble under the pressure in the 4th innings, when even good teams can implode.

It’s all about Rashid Khan. Just the fact he’s going to bowl from one end all day must be frightening to some of our batters.

The pitch is holding up quite well. Target of 300 or under should be achievable. But it will all rest on the big 3 because i don’t hold up much hope Gumbie, Curran, Myers or Kaitano will last too long against Rashid.

No way. She was a shit candidate, worse even than that right wing Hillary Clinton. I did vote for both, and if given the same options I'd vote the same way tomorrow. Jokes gonna be on all the working class folks who claimed they can't afford groceries and so voted for the billionaire who wants to raise prices via tariffs. Thats like trying to take wickets by getting rid of all your slip fielders.
