Regis might need to open in the next game. Looks like a man in good form. Crucial knock

I guess we won the first hour in the context of the game but it feels like a draw.

Fairly good first hour for Zimbabwe, they need to keep this going though. Tiripano can also bat, so that is a good sign.

Jut woke up, lazy shot from Ryan Burl really wasn't it. 8 from 22, needed more from him there. I don't think he's necessarily out of his depth, I just think he needs to shake himself a bit and smell the coffee. This is one hell of an opportunity for him to cement his place in the test side.
Regis looked really good there, shame he got out.
Approaching a lead of 90 which is good. Try and get above 150 and we are right in the game I think

Any extra runs from this point are honestly a bonus. Hopefully they can add another 20-30 runs

Pujara mostly blocks and he is a great player. But he does defend well against spin and doesn't really struggle against them
One averages 46 and the other 23. Are we really comparing them?

Williams said last night the he wanted a 100-150 lead so we have achieved the low end of the target. If we can add another 30 runs after lunch it would have been a really good day. Still some life in the pitch for the bowlers but we need to be a lot tighter with our lines.
