[Match Thread] Zim v Pak 1st Test

[betterdays]

unfortunate ... one usually brings two and chigs must be pretty low on confidence so now it's a race to level the scores

[Jemisi]

Well a vital innings and stand comes to an end. Can we manage another 150 from the last six wickets? Chigs has to turn up.

Good innings by Waller, gutted he didn't get a look at 3figures

[Ming]

No cucumber, then.

Raza's double century?

To be honest, I'm happy just counting to to 250. I've seen enough Zimbabwe matches to know that 4/211 could easily be all out for 220. So just getting a first innings lead against such a quality opposition would be an achievement.

Once we get there, I'll definitely count down the next hundred though

[betterdays]

anything less will be leave us in a lot of trouble.
Mutambami has some swagger for someone with only one good season to his name but that's got to be a good thing - go lad

He's played very positively so far. Sweeping Ajmal after 2 balls shows he is pretty confident. Would be good if we could get at least one more guy to fifty, because if that happens we'll probably be up around the 300 mark.

Thankfully even though Cremer is not playing, between Utseya and S Masakadza there's the potential for a few more runs down the order.

17 to go.
