Oh b***er. Do you think Taylor can become the first to score double centuries in both innings? Looks like we might need it.

let effin hope so ... or at least someone needs a big un

I think this is the first time we've seen a team bowl with a strategy of short pitched bowling to Taylor. It's working.

I dont like the fact we're being dictated to, I'd much prefer some sharp singles, loud calls or just an indication to the Tigers that we won't just be bowled at.

I'd like to see Masakadza get a single just so Robiul is forced to change his game plan of bowling short.

Can anyone tell me how Hamilton is playing, i thought his body language was very poor in the first test and he went into his shell at bit, has he come out more positively in this match or is he in his shell?

we're being dictated to, and it's not good enough. That was always going to happen. negative batting, negative thinking and a negative approach will allow the bowlers in, and that's just what's happened. Mazakadza got into such a negative mindset he's just played a sloppy shot. Poor poor cricket

I think the game is gone now. There's no hope of getting to 391.
I'm struggling to think of any scenario where we can even hold on long enough to bat out a draw given there is so much time left in this match.

Sibanda and Masakadza fail again when we need them most. Maybe time to cut them loose for a bit, particularly Masakadza who I lovingly refer to as Santa Claus - "He is big, dresses in red, and shows up once a year".
