Could be a blessing in disguise, with Chakabva looking like a confident young man hungry for opportunities to show his batting talent.

Could be a big mistake, especially with Chiggs not at being very economical himself. Expect Taylor to bowl more than a few overs as well.

Good tight start so far, looks like Mpofu is having one of his better days at the moment. Need to get this early breakthrough tough.

The big question is who will bowl the middle overs with Lamb not playing and Price bowling up front, WIlliams and Cremer?

15/0 after 5, that's pretty good for our guys.

Top trending topic on Twitter this morning: Zimbabwe. The world is watching. :)

Great first 10, make that 11 overs, great Prosper gets a maiden. If we can crack a wicket or 2 now, i know it's greedy but be might see a little panic from the might Aussies :)

Time to take Price of now that Utseya is on and just make sure that one end is always tied up.

Who next Cremer or Chigs or even WIlliams

Taibu that's amazing! Utseya bowled, given not out and Tatenda instigated a challenge. 63-1 Haddin out.

Gone Utseya stikes via the review (Shocking decision by the umpire not to give it out in the first place)

Need to keep it tight, Cremer has a big role to play as he will be the strike bowler

Cant believe Taylor came on before Williams, get Williams on to the two right handers

Chigumbura coming on, fingers crossed this could be anything
