Only Test: Zimbabwe v South Africa at Harare

73.5
Tiripano to de Kock, no run, oh so close! Good length and a hint of bounce, de Kock almost

plays on and turns around swiftly to see the ball land just behind his stumps.

Tiripano is distraught
 

179 - 4

76.6 :Nyumbu to de Kock, FOUR

Even Zimbabwe have batted much sensibly against a strong SA attack,much better than what India did.
SA are making slow progress and are playing on the defensive..
201/4..Still trailing by 55.
This might turn out to be an easy win for SA if they bat tom,fully.

Zimbabwe has done surprisingly okay. Taylor has shown some resistance with the bat and they've bowled OK as well. Careless batting from SA though - especially AB looked pretty half hearted with that shot he got out to. But Faf's looking pretty good out there and they bat deep.

I miss the days when Zimbabwe was a legitimate test team. They have always had a good eye for talent and some people who have risen far above the dismal cricket system over there but I am afraid it will need a miracle for them to emerge out of this prolonged period of cricketing dismay.
