Player Of The Match
  • 49.6

    Donald Tiripano to Fakhar Zaman. Slower ball half volley, outside off stump on the front foot pushing, to silly mid on for 1 run, fielded by Tiripano. And Pakistan fall one short of getting 400 for the first time. Zaman looked tired at the end there but it's not surprising. He's batted throughout the entire innings, at times almost swinging himself of his feet. Records tumbled today as the Pakistani opening pair put on 304 for the first wicket. Imam made his third ODI century but Zaman continued to accelerate after he reached 100 and finished 210*. These are bleak times for Zimbabwe as yet again they have been completely outclassed. Realistically the question is can Zimbabwe survive the full 50 overs as there is no doubt who the winner of this game will be.

  • 49.5

    Donald Tiripano to Asif Ali. Slower ball half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, to long off for 1 run, fielded by Moor. 50 for Asif Ali, it's been an entertaining cameo since the dismissal of Imam. Clearly he has the potential to be very destructive with bat in hand.

  • 49.4

    SIX! Donald Tiripano to Asif Ali. Full toss, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, well timed over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. Tiripano misses his yorker and pays the price. Smashed away legside and Ali clears the rope by a yard or so.

  • 49.3

    Donald Tiripano to Fakhar Zaman. Slower ball yorker, outside off stump on the front foot pushing, to extra cover for 1 run, fielded by Masakadza.

  • 48.6

    FOUR! Blessing Muzarabani to Asif Ali. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot sweeping, well timed past deep backward square leg for 4 runs. Still there is no man back behind square on the legside so Asif Ali decides he will simply sweep again, picking up the ball perfectly and it races away.

  • 46.5

    FOUR! Blessing Muzarabani to Fakhar Zaman. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed past deep cover for 4 runs. Width, driven through the covers, finds the gap and that is 200 for Zaman! He becomes the first ever Pakistani to get a double hundred in an ODI and only the eigth person ever. Zaman drops to his knees in prayer before raising his bat and celebrating to his team.

    SIX! Blessing Muzarabani to Asif Ali. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, well timed over long on for 6 runs. Wow! That is right out of the middle and the first sign of Asif Ali's hitting power that we've seen. In the slot and hit straight down the ground, one of the biggest hits of the day.

  • 42.4
    Richard Ngarava lbw b Shadab Khan 1 (8)

    OUT! L.B.W. Shadab Khan to Richard Ngarava. Leg spinner length ball, middle stump on the front foot driving, hit pad to. And it's all over. Shadab has burgled another one and ends up with four wickets. Goes to drive, misses completely and the ball hits him on the pad in front of all three. Another very one-sided game here. The main story was the first innings when records tumbled and Zaman became the first Pakistani to score 200 in an ODI. Him and Imam put on 304 before the first and only wicket. The second innings was a bit of a formality to be honest, neither side really pushed themsleves. There is one more game in this series in which Pakistan may decide to make changes, more to rest their players as opposed to giving other members of their squad a challenge. That's all for today.

  • 42.3

    Shadab Khan to Richard Ngarava. Leg spinner back of a length, off stump on the back foot pulling, mis-timed to mid wicket for no runs, fielded by ul-Haq.

    OUT! Caught. Shoaib Malik to Tendai Chisoro. Off break length ball, off stump on the front foot Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to mid off, by Shinwari. And Malik has a wicket too. A big heave from Chisoro, nice flight from Malik and it's gone straight up in the air.

    OUT! Bowled. Shadab Khan to Donald Tiripano. Googly length ball, outside off stump on the back foot driving, inside edge to. Does him with the googly! Bit too short, looking to drive off the back foot but doesn't pick it and gets an inside edge back onto his stumps.

    Wellington Masakadza lbw b Shadab Khan 2 (7)

    OUT! L.B.W. Shadab Khan to Wellington Masakadza. Leg spinner length ball, middle stump on the front foot defending, hit pad to. And again Ian Gould's finger is pointing skywards. A big lunge fowards but the batsman played this with his front pad rather than his bat. The ball was pitching in line to the left-hander and straightened, probably hitting middle and leg.
