Zakary Foulkes to Tafadzwa Tsiga, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Zakary Foulkes finds the edge this time with an absolute beauty! Angled in from over the wicket, on the off stump, on a good length, Tsiga is forced into playing it due to the angle. The ball straightens off the deck, enough to catch the outside edge. The keeper, Tom Blundell, takes a simple catch to his right. Foulkes has his 2nd wicket and Zimbabwe are now 64/6.

Matthew Fisher to Tafadzwa Tsiga, A massive shout for LBW but not given! This nips back in, on a good length, on middle and leg, Tsiga looks to get behind it but plays down the wrong line. Gets rapped on the front pad but the ball seems to be doing too much and will slide past the leg stump.
