Tinotenda Maposa to Kusal Perera, out Caught by Ngarava!! Now Kusal Perera goes. Again the extra bounce getting the wicket. A short of length delivery on off, across Kusal Perera, it's the extra bounce which produces the fat top-edge as Kusal tries to help the pull, got big on him and he can't control it, Ngarava moves to his right from short fine and judges the high ball well. Two in two overs for Zimbabwe and they are on top here. Kusal Perera c Ngarava b Tinotenda Maposa 4(5) [4s-1]

Tinotenda Maposa to Kusal Perera, no run, what a ball. Full and pitches around leg or even outside the leg-stump, curves off the seam and Kusal Perera is beaten all ends up, tries to drive and the ball shapes across his bat and past the outside-edge, not far from off-stump either
