I wonder if Chisoro can still bowl decent left arm seam. Could be a handy curve ball at first change.

Bobby looks to be getting it through a bit quicker than usual.

Mpofu is trying but we look pretty toothless without Jarvis

Interesting trivia to celebrate as we won't be celebrating any wickets any time soon...

Solomon Mire becomes the first Zimbabwean and 88th around the world to open both batting and bowling in the same test match.

Cremer needs an 7fer if we're any chance

Zimbabwe's problem:

1st innings 1st Test
Brendan Taylor 1
Sean Williams 7
Sikandar Raza 6
Malcolm Waller 11

1st innings 2nd Test
Brendan Taylor 1
Craig Ervine 0
Malcolm Waller 0

That's why Malcolm is going nowhere!

If Sean Williams can be excused for scoring 7 and 6 from number 5 simply because he got 6-111 in a big 117 run loss for Zim, then why should Malcolm be dropped? As things stand, he's scored more 1st innings runs than the Messiah!

At least he's bowling first change. That's nice to see.

Not sure why Mire bowled ahead of him though.
