6.3 overs: WICKET! Just when things were looking steady, Karim Janat strikes and Zimbabwe sink further! Zimbabwe in all sorts of trouble here. Janat steams in and bowls a very full ball on middle and leg. Ervine departs for 10.

6.6 overs: Sean Williams to Rahmanullah Gurbaz. out, OUT! LBW! umpire’s call! The review is retained but Gurbaz’ fun is over. Williams strikes. The slider, pitching around off and skidding on, Rahmanullah looks to sweep but misses. Is hit on the pads, Williams appeals and the umpire raises his finger. Gurbaz has a chat with his partner and then takes the review. The third umpire takes a while to confirm whether there is no inside edge. The ball is pretty close to the gloves but eventually, he is convinced that the spike on Ultra Edge is not due to the gloves. Ball Tracker shows the ball to be clipping leg stump, which means umpire’s call will stay. 43 from 24 for the debutant.
