4 for Mark, he is back

doesn't look like too much bounce.

My fist look at Vermeulens technique. I know the bowling is the best in the business, but MV looks as if he just stabbing at the ball in the hope of somehow making contact.

The bat sort of swings away from the body too as he's defending, makes me worried he's needlessly exposing himself to an outside edge.

to Vermeulen, in the most unconvincing manner.
But his first Test runs in 10 years, well done MV.

It'd be great to see Vermeulen or Masakadza bring out a full blooded cover drive just to bring the Zimbabweans some confidence from a nice decisive shot.

Incidentally, it's been so long since Zimbabwe's last televised match I'd forgotten about all the wonderful commercials like Fogg.

Remember 55 is the target

I missed that "gas wallah" too.

Double figures!

Nicely done, MV!

Looks like a slow outfield, off the bat I thought that would be four. First convincing shot of the day.

Amazing feeling to see MV back on the field. Emotional!

This is an excruciating examination
