Chigumbura is playing. It was Dabengwa that was omitted for Vusi Sibanda.

Talking about Sibanda, he's out.

need a score from taibu here 200 will be defendable need to play themselves in

[andy24]

sinbanda never really looked like making much today

I agree with zimfan1. I think anything between 180 and 200 would be a defendable score. What we need are partnerships, if we could get one of 50+ or so between Matsikenyeri and Taibu it would make it so much easier for the other batsmen.

pressure on williams again

good to see the pycroft has been giving advice

What a pathetic and lazy effort by Matsikenyeri. Those sort of dismissals shouldn't be happening.

4/45, not looking too great.

[zimfan1]

not goo 50/6 only way we have a chance is get to 150

Its 6 down now. terrible. I have never seen such a collective, consistently consistent terrible slump in my life.

Our batting is terrible, I can't remember it ever being this fragile. Because we've been winning there has been a tendency to overlook it a bit, but the batsmen have to do some serious soul-searching after this series.

If we were told a month ago we'd have at least 2 wins against Bangladesh, I think we would have taken it. But on the tour of Kenya, back on African pitches, we have to score some runs. Importantly, Zimbabwe need to form partnerships!
