And another one!! Williams at second slip with a great catch!
Vinnie and Welly look like different bowlers this session.
The lesser batsmen don't do much to put you off your length so it is a bit easier, but still it's impressive.
I really don't think Ervine should have taken the new cherry.

How did that miss!!!

Why even take the new. The Vinny effect is in full flow.

You've got to give Vinnie the new ball as well.

Well if he can control this and get it to turn he's pencilled himself into the England squad.

Wouldn’t even bother with a spinner there lol, Bennett and Wez can do the job. Extra batter or seamer. Has been cooking though, blazing sun and 20 degrees.

A decent leggie is priceless. Masekesa has been known for being a bit brittle. If you get after him he starts bowling poorly, but once he finds his rhythm he can bowl beautiful spells.

Zim have really pulled this back but they've got too many already. It's going to take some serious batting and a lot of luck to keep their spinners out. It's going to be a noisy affair.
