16.2 to SC Williams, short ball outside the off stump. Williams was set up for the shot that he played - pull. He lofts it to McCarthy at deep midwicket. He didn't need to run a lot to take the catch. That's poor awareness of the match situation by Williams. When a fielder is placed for exactly that shot, one should get their eye in before thinking of clearing that fielder. Also the pace of Murtagh is such that Williams had to impart a lot of power on his own to get it over the ropes. 80/4
44.5 to TS Chisoro, good length ball outside the off stump. Slower in pace. He looks to guide it to third-man region and gets a feather back to the keeper. Chisoro is angry with himself. 181/8
46.1 to KM Jarvis, the single of last ball comes back to hurt Zimbabwe! Jarvis is moving the bat towards the ball and gets an outside edge to backward point, who has been brought in. Stirling dives to his right and takes the catch. 184/9

3.4 to C Zhuwao, the Zhuwao show has ended ! He seemed troubled by McCarthy's slower deliveries. He perishes to another slower delivery as he has made up his mind to play a shot, regardless. The ball in on the off stump line and Zhuwao lofts it right into the outstretched hands of Rankin at long-on. Good bowling by McCarthy. 21/1
1013513.50423030
9.4 to H Masakadza, the relentless line does the trick! Short of a good length delivery outside the off stump. Masakadza, till now, was looking to get behind the line of these deliveries but there seems to be a lapse in concentration as he stays rooted to the crease and looks to get some bat on the ball. The bounce that Rankin was extracting means that it takes the outside edge and the keeper gets another dismissal added to his name. 50/3
1004224.20342200
8.5 to SF Mire, sees him coming down the track and pushes it through faster and wider. Mire is beaten by pace and line as he looks to get some bat on the ball as he is trotting down the track. Niall O'Brien collects the ball cleanly and whips the bails off. McBrine strikes in his first over. 50/2
20.2 to BRM Taylor, fuller ball outside the off stump and turning this time. Taylor looks to reverse sweep and is beaten. He is struck on the hip. It might have been going down leg as he stretched out his frontfoot. The wicket leaves Zimbabwe tottering and in need of a partnership. 87/5
812212.75352010
33.1 to AG Cremer, Kevin O'Brien sneaks through the defences of Cremer. He sends the leg stump cartwheeling. This was nice and full, jabs back in just enough to nip through the gate and knock out the leg stump. 139/7

6.6 to A Balbirnie, that's the second wicket! Short of a good length delivery outside the off stump and coming in. The ball takes the inside edge. Taylor dives to his left and takes the catch. Zimbabwe bowling is coming to the party. 17/2
712233.14312010
3.2 to WTS Porterfield, and that's the first wicket! Short ball on the middle stump. Porterfield doesn't account for Chisoro's pace. He is faster than an average left arm spinner and looks to pull. All he does is guide it into the hands of Sikandar Raza at short midwicket. 12/1
7.4 to EC Joyce, and that's the third wicket! It hits the thigh pad and Joyce is looking for an opportunity to run a leg bye , but doesn't realise that Taylor has collected the ball. He just steps out of the crease and Taylor whups the bails off. Joyce doesn't even wait for third umpire's decision. 18/3
11.3 to NJ O'Brien, it has to be the fielder's wicket! Short on the middle and leg. Niall is looking to pull and gets a top-edge. The ball looks to be in the gap between short fine-leg and square-leg. Muzarabani, at short fine-leg, takes a few strides forward and then moves sideways. When he realises that he can't get to the ball by running, he dives and catches the ball inches off the ground.. 34/4

15.2 to KJ O'Brien, and gets a wicket with the second ball! Good length ball outside the off stump. Kevin is playing for the angle but the ball turns after pitching and takes the outside edge. First slip moves to the left and takes the catch. 54/5
8.211832.16371000
28.1 to GC Wilson, good length ball on the middle stump. He is playing for the ripping leg break and misses. He knows as he has played it that he is plumb in front. Ireland slip deeper now. 89/7
30.5 to BJ McCarthy, fuller ball on the middle and leg. He comes down the track and looks to go big over deep midwicket. The resultant leading edge goes to long-on where Williams cups his hands around the ball. Zimbabwe can harbour hopes of topping the table after the game. 95/8
34.2 to TJ Murtagh, Zimbabwe move to the top of the table. Fuller ball on the off stump. He comes down the track and lofts it deep midwicket where the catch is taken.. 104/10
401112.75130000
31.6 to WB Rankin, nine down! Fuller ball on the off stump. Rankin is going for the slog sweep. The ball comes in with the angle, beats the slog and hits the stumps! Ireland are going down without a fight. 97/9
