With the 29th ball he faced in this innings, Kaitano has now faced most deliveries on debut for a Zimbabwean opener - going past Grant Flower (330) and Kevin Arnott (339). Both of them had achieved it on Zimbabwe's inaugural test 29 years ago.

He has incidentally also crossed Hamilton Masakadza (339) for second most number of balls faced on debut at any position for Zimbabwe, and now only behind David Houghton (396), again, from the inaugural test 29 years ago.

Plenty of time for him to get to 400

Hey Crimson, any idea on the record for most balls before getting off the mark? By a Zimbabwean?
