A win is a win even if WI arent trying which i doubt however.

I would just put it down to good bowling from price and utseya.
Indeed. A loss would be very embarrassing for WI, why wouldn't they try and avoid it at all costs?
Chanderpaul seems have cramped up, the Physio comes out to have a look at him.
A few injuries in this game so far!

Yup. With more than 50 points between the two sides, there's extra points on offer for Zim (and for WI to lose).
The flipside of that is that a loss wouldn't have affected Zim's rating too much; and one win will probably be enough to ensure we finish the series on more points than we started it.

Another drop!
40.6 Dabengwa to Morton, SIX, dropped! Down the track and hits it straight in the air to Masakadza at long on, drops it and in the process gives away a six.
Behind Australia and maybe South Africa, I think Zimbabwe is the best fielding side in the world. But not on today's efforts :o

I'm never too crictical of drops near the boundary - can be hard to keep your feet when the boundary rope's just behind you. Just a shame it went for six after that...

True. No doubt it would have been a tough one.

Utseya bringing Masakadza back into the attack. Wants to give Chigumbura and Brent as long a break as possible I guess.
