	Zimbabwe 1st innings		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
	TMK Mawoyo	not out	163	645	453	20	0	35.98
	V Sibanda	st †Adnan Akmal b Saeed Ajmal	45	107	66	9	0	68.18
	22.5 as expected, Ajmal gets the first wicket! It's the doosra again. Sibanda leaves the crease again, Ajmal bowls this slightly wide outside off. Beaten in the flight, Sibanda looks to push at this defensively, but he has not picked the doosra. It beats the outside edge, and Sibanda is left stranded half way down the pitch. Adnan Akmal makes no mistake behind the stumps 71/1
	H Masakadza	b Saeed Ajmal	11	48	41	2	0	26.82
	36.1 Ajmal gets another wicket! An ambitious shot from Masakadza. This is from round the stumps, a short-of-a-length delivery, Masakadza tries the pull, missed the line, and Ajmal hits the off stump 91/2
	BRM Taylor*	lbw b Saeed Ajmal	10	19	12	2	0	83.33
	40.4 Big lbw shout. Sharp, big offbreak from outside off. Taylor moves half forward and then goes back, is beaten by the movement, and is hit smack in front of the stumps. On first look it seemed it might be turning too much, but he is so deep in the crease the ball had hardly any distance to travel. Plumb. Ajmal has all three. He could take all 10, the others have been so ineffective 111/3
	T Taibu†	c †Adnan Akmal b Sohail Khan	44	102	70	6	0	62.85
	65.2 Sohail gets his first Test wicket, gift-wrapped by a dangerous-looking Taibu. This is short, this is wide, Taibu goes hard at it. All he manages is a thin edge through to the keeper. Sohail exults, Taibu walks back 176/4
	CR Ervine	c & b Junaid Khan	49	141	106	8	0	46.22
	99.5 Junaid gets his first wicket in Test cricket, a moment to savour for him, not so much for Ervine who misses out on a half-century, another short ball that was angling in, Ervine tries to guide that to the leg side, off the shoulder of the bat and loops back to the bowler, the partnership ends at 94 270/5
	GA Lamb	lbw b Saeed Ajmal	39	146	105	4	0	37.14
	135.3 at long last a wicket for Pakistan, Ajmal removes Lamb who was looking to defend an offspinner, perhaps he was looking for a third consecutive doosra, he doesn't get bat on it, past the inside edge and hit low on the pad, that pitched on middle and off and went straight on, a vociferous appeal and umpire raises the finger, much to Pakistan's relief 365/6
	RW Price	c Azhar Ali b Aizaz Cheema	6	14	16	1	0	37.50
	138.4 Cheema gets his first wicket! Price is gone, was looking to defend that off the back foot, inside-edged on to the pad and that pops up towards short leg, who moves quickly to his left to lap it up on the second chance, it was Azhar Ali who took the catch, ending up on his back and appealing as he fell over 374/7
	BV Vitori	c Younis Khan b Aizaz Cheema	14	26	17	3	0	82.35
	144.2 Vitori is gone, isn't he? a shortish ball outside off that Vitori flails at without moving his feet, a nick through to first slip where Younis Khan has pouched it, Pakistan are celebrating, Vitori was starting to walk off when he was stopped by Mawoyo, I think Younis got his hands under it but it is hard to tell on the replays, it's taking a long time to reach a decision and finally the umpires send Vitori on his way. 394/8
	KM Jarvis	b Aizaz Cheema	0	9	5	0	0	0.00
	146.1 a reverse-swinging yorker from Cheema takes out the offstump, that was far too good for Jarvis, he belatedly tries to get his bat down and crouches, only to see the ball has gone past to dislodge off stump, great sight for a fast bowler 394/9
	CB Mpofu	b Aizaz Cheema	8	24	15	0	1	53.33
	150.4 whoah, that was a shooter, didn't rise up at all, Mpofu is stuck on the back foot as his stumps are spectacularly send flying across, only one stump remains standing, that's more of what you expect from a Pakistan fast bowler, so Zimbabwe finish on 412, and Mawoyo has carried his bat through. 412/10
	Extras	(b 7, lb 13, w 1, nb 2)	23
	Total	(all out; 150.4 overs; 645 mins)	412	(2.73 runs per over)

	1.6 Zimbabwe are ecstatic as Umar is gone lbw, that was again a full delivery a hint of swing inwards, there was some doubt whether it pitched outside leg, replays show it did, Umar was looking to tuck that to the leg side, he misses and is struck low on the pad, he's given lbw, and is not too happy with the decision, seemed a good one though 8/1
