Great session,one more quick wicket and its game on here. Bowling has been very steady and raza swung the match and the energy of the side with that spell . Just hold our freaking chances , feel like Chakabvas head has dropped since his dismissal seems like a man that is nervous to be out there and isn't backed in the team . It's a shame as I'm a massive fan
The Zimbabwe Cricket team have found Ebola in one of their members, but they're not concerned because they have also found Ebatsmen and Efielda!

Not convinced to be honest. 2014 is a long time ago and he hasn't done anything since then, really. In New Zealand in 2012 he scored that fighting 63 in a game to quickly forget for Zimbabwe.

Needs to get back to that stage. Chisoro looks good doesn't he. Firing them in

Think with 3/110 we just shaded that session. Maybe a draw with the nightwatchman in the mix. Fielding needs to improve in the afternoon.

Chisoro gets dip, which is so critical at this level.

Can't expect much from Chisoro as he went wicketless in both the innings of the practise match.

He’s getting dip, turn and bounce and he’s landing them. Not sure what you’re taking about. Maybe half a foot too full on some of his deliveries. So close to stringing enough good deliveries together that will get him a couple of wickets.

There was one delivery Chisoro bowled in his last over which was absolutely incredible. Shai Hope had no clue.. deserved a wicket. He is just a little bit too full. If he adjusts that he will pick up a couple.

Cremer on the other hand needs to sit back for about 15/20 overs. He is just losing his way a bit. Maybe even stay off the field for a half of the next session and just take a break. Let BT take over for a bit. The pressure is getting to him.

Mpofu had one of the best spells I have seen from a zim seamer in a while. Not the quickest but that wicket delivery was around 135kph. From there his confidence just shot through the roof. As long as he isn't conceding many he should continue.

I think it was a drawn session coz Bishoo isn't a recognized batsman. This next session will determine the match. Chase looks like he is in a hurry. Maybe they have finally realized that this game will likely be drawn at this rate. If they want to win they need to have a dominant batting spell where they score at maybe 3.5 an over and don't lose a wicket. This will create opportunities for us. Blackwood and Dorwich need to score so they will be under pressure too.

"Graeme Cremer struggled a little for rhythm in the first session. He repeatedly dragged the ball down short, allowing Powell multiple scoring opportunities off the back foot"

"For those wondering, Hamilton is back on the field after being at the receiving end of Cremer's stinging throw"
