Whose side are you on!? :p

(...but yes, a decent chase is good experience for the batsmen. I just don't have much confidence in them chasing this total...)

Wicket: Masakadza (c White b K O'Brien 8). Zimbabwe 15/1 after 6.4 overs.

This is not turning out to be a good series for Hammy...

Masakadza what a waste of balls from yu

[maehara]

Sensational catch, one handed above his head at mid-off, looked for all the world it had beaten him

Unlucky, then...

Heeey How the heck did we get to 238/9!!! When I last checked we were on 147/7 after 38.2 overs! Now its 19/1 Touch chase lets go Zim! Hope Williams plays well today. And Coometary at last on Cricinfo.

12.6 Botha to Taylor, FOUR, again, smashed through the covers
12.5 Botha to Taylor, FOUR, punched through the covers
12.4 Botha to Taylor, no run
12.3 Botha to Taylor, FOUR, glance shot wide of short fine leg

That's a bit more like it.

Wicket: Williams (run out 21). Zimbabwe 57/2 after 16.2 overs.

Damn just as things were picking up

Anyway, well done to Sean Williams on becoming the 20th Zim batsman to reach 1000 ODI runs
