Tanaka Chivanga to Tony de Zorzi, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! First wicket for Zimbabwe on Day 3! Tanaka Chivanga bowls it on a fuller length, angling into the batter from off stump line. Tony de Zorzi, without using his feet, looks to block it and gets a thick outside edge. The ball flies toward the second slip, and Sean Williams takes a good catch to remove Tony de Zorzi! He departs after scoring 31 (35), and South Africa are two down.

Blessing Muzarabani has not taken the field today, and that could be a significant blow for Zimbabwe if he is unable to take any further part in this Test. They will be hoping it’s nothing serious, and even if he does miss the remainder of this match, the focus will be on getting him fit in time for the second game.
