Safyaan Sharif takes the new ball from the City End, and Solomon Mire immediately opens the score with a dab down to third man. Zhuwao needs only one sighter before he hacks a full ball over the covers for his first boundary, and he heaps early pressure on the bowler with a swipe to leg that brings four more. A seemingly effortless six over wide long on to finish off makes it 16 from the first over!
Zhuwao just seems to have a go at everything. If he lasts long enough he could do major damage,

270 should be defendable...anything above that will be bonus

Mire has been batting cautiously at the start for a while...is he anchoring while Cephas tees off?

If Zhuwao stays till over 10-12, even an Ervine snoozefest wouldn't be that bad.

The key to bowlng to Cephas should be to treat every over like the 50th in a game. Just spear in wide yorkers. Don't even aim for the stumps.

That didn't last long...18 runs. We mustn't go into our shells, but when the Cephas plan doesn't work, we just have to play proper cricket...there's plenty of batting left.

Peterhouse U14C 4th change bowler and no. 10 batsman (but only because Aaron didn't have a bat).

HK 9-0 after 4. A Nepal win would push the Afghans miraculously into the Super 6s.
