cricinfo showing that the game in Masvingo is delayed, presumably it's due to rain as the weather is reported as 16C and cloudy.
No teams have been announced as yet with just squads being shown.

cricinfo now showing stumps on day 1 without a ball bowled, very frustrating, especially for the Rocks players as it must be 4 weeks since their last time on the field, hopefully the weather might be better tomorrow.

We have a start in Masvingo as Rocks have won the toss and asked Mountaineers to bat.
The cricinfo teams are,
Rocks : Tikolo*, Chibhabha, Chisoro, C Ervine, Kamungozi, Mahwire, Marillier, Matambanadzo, Matanga, Mutumbami & Odoyo
Mountaineers : H Masakadza*, Katsande, Maruma, Marumisa, S Masakadza, Matsikenyeri, Maudzi, Mawoyo, Ncube, Tiripano & Utseya
A very slow start as Mountaineers have reached 24-1 from 19 overs, Mawoyo 10*, H Masakadza 5* while Marumisa is the man out for 9 to Odoyo caught by Mutumbami who is in as keeper instead of Maregwede.

Slow but steady progress from Mountaineers as they close the day on 243-6, Matsikenyeri the star for them with 86* and passing 500 logan runs for the season.
Someone will have to quicken things up in the morning to save the game from drifting to a draw after the loss of yesterday.

Things don't seem to have heated up too much this morning, Mountaineers now 302-7 in the 125th over with Tiripano 27* and Katsande 25*, tough luck on Matsikenyeri as he fell for 97.
Points for this innings are 2 each

Still a lot of hard graft being put in during this match, Mountaineers finally out for 350 from 139.2 overs thanks to Tiripano 40 and Katsande 47 who added 70 for the 8th wicket, star bowler for Rocks was Matanga with 5-98.
Equally as hard for the Rocks batsmen as they reached 133-3 from 54 overs at the close with Tikolo 34* and Ervine 35*, best of the bowlers was, yet again, Maruma with 3-48.
