Runs off every ball for the past three overs. Not bad going.

Matsikenyeri out now. 27 off 19 isn't bad though, he's done his job for someone coming in during the final 10 overs.

If Taibu can make a century, well that would be a perfect end to the innings

With 5 overs to go... is 300 on the cards?

Dabengwa next in!? Where's Elton!?

Good possibility - a few guys left who can slog a bit, should be able to get a good few more runs on the board...

I think Chigumbura would have been a better choice too, but maybe they sent Dabengwa out to have a swing in the expectations he won't last long anyway.

Makes more sense to use the reliable guy first, I would have thought, and save the hit'n'hope player for last resorts. But hey, I'm not the coach...
