We may never lose again, we have the best Curran of the 3, sign the board for another decade.

Could not have had a better day. Our 2 best batsmen still in and set. We are far more experienced than them in this format. Only one of their guys has played over 40 FC games. Gumbie, Kaitano, Mavuta, Ervine, Curran and Williams have played over 40 FC games for us. I think it makes a difference, especially when things are not going your way

Anyone miss Muaekiwa, Akram and Wez except chief selector Mutendera

No better chance for Williams to get a double here. He won’t have many chances beyond this series.

I challenged him before the match to score a double-century in the Tests, and he was eager to take me up on it - hope he can complete the job tomorrow!

Can you challenge Muzarabani to take 10 wickets?! Perhaps you are the secret weapon?!

Hi all, merry Xmas hope everyone is doing well and had a great Xmas with the family.

Good to see a solid day of test cricket batting from the boys after the dismal white ball stuff.

Hopefully Willo & Slug can hammered these Afghans into the found tomorrow and keep them out in the field for most of the day, then Blessing & Co can strike a few late blows before the day is out.

Considering the state of the pitch, and the quality of the attack they’re facing. Willo is a chance to break DH’s record for the highest ever test score by a Zimbo.

I know it’s still 120 odd runs away, but he’ll never have easier/ better conditions to bat in a test match.

Merry Xmas, Jaybro! Good to see ya back here after a loooong time!

These 363 runs constitute what is already Zimbabwe's 11th highest innings total in all Tests since April 2004.

And Zimbabwe are now just 49 runs short of their highest total in that time span as well (412 vs Pakistan).
