Masakadza should have reviewed that right away. If you want the third umpire on your side, act confident. Anyway, will be injustice if thats given out coz its not.
Yeah, I agree. The umpires look for any reason to screw Zim over - I wouldn't have been surprised if that had stood because the evidence "wasn't conclusive" or some such rubbish (aka. the umpire thought it must have hit because HM took so long to review).

But obviously that was nowhere near the bat or glove, so good review and HM gets the chance at a 5th hundred.

Hopefully we get to tea unscathed - the ball is bouncing and turning and a 20 minute reprieve will be very handy now.

It came at a good time for them both. They need to just settle down after tea. Hopefully they stonewall through to stumps. No rush for HM or PJ to get their century/half-century respectively.

Great effort to win the session handsomely.

Still behind after the stunning first hour.

I would say it's about even at the moment.

Big last session.

PJ is probably the only player in the world who is suited for test cricket and t20s but not Odis because he can't rotate the strike

Good session. Still a long way to go

I wonder what would happen if PJ Waller and Regis all get scores in this test and Chisoro gets some wickets. Williams would be under extreme pressure to keep his place for the S.A. test.. Especially with the patience PJ has shown today. Something Williams doesn't have. Bad time for him to be sick

Add Boycott's 2 wickets to the score and I think we are still behind. Some work to do in the last to get back to evens. Say we lost 2/70 in the last session (which would be a drawn 3rd session) at 5/220 we'd be behind on the day. But we're getting somewhere.
