[Match Thread] Zimbabwe Pakistan 2nd test

[Ming]

So, Vitori in for Shingi, and Taylor in for Raza.

Disaster strikes in 2nd ball . Mawoyo out.

Would rather have seen him sit out and keep Raza in...

Thanks for the thread. Any news on Shingi? It is frustrating to see the way he is treated. He was arguably our best bowler in the first test, without much to show in the wickets column.

Can understand Williams being kept out, but taking Raza out was not thoughtful. Hamilton is effectively opening anyway.

Rough one for Tino by the looks of it. This go slow will hopefully bear fruit rather than just digging a deep hole for us to collapse into.

I was worried we were on course for the lowest total in cricket there for a moment, good some runs have started to come.

Weathering the storm, let's cash in

Vusi Vusi Vusi, after all the hard graft,

Good to see Taylor back obviously, but also it's pleasing to see Vitori get another chance. S Masakadza is unlucky though.

Tough first session, but it looks like Mawoyo was unlucky from the replay I saw. Didn't see Sibanda's innings, but he is in desperate need of a good Test score.

One of the two at the crease need to push on and make a big one, but even before that I reckon just batting through the next session without losing another wicket would be pretty crucial. If we can get to around the 2/150 mark by tea then it evens the game up a bit. Pakistan firmly in control right now.

No RAza, No Williams....and sweet 14 from Vusi. Are there some reserved seats in test XI?

[Jemisi]

Yes BRMT, 2/anything would be good at tea. I'd take 2/120.

Well done Mazakadza, 50 up. Needs to make it a big one.
