00:24And it's just angle down the leg side of the batter just needs to get some bats on it and pick up a free boundary
00:29Maybe can work against him
00:34Edge through the gap
00:38And I'll pick up a boundary
00:42Edge again this time finer
00:53Yeah, we ask him to play in front of the wicket that's a little bit up fish skip up
00:59You can give up the chase. I don't feel this quick bring up the 150
01:09Long half volley big boundary
01:13But Karen will find it
01:15Well, the opportunity was presented creating problems here on day two
01:22And there's another problem
01:26Got the outside edge a couple of times of Brendan Taylor earlier this time he gets it to nip back in
01:32It's a fine piece of bowling just getting the ball to nip back into the better
01:46Full handsomely driven down the ground superb timing
01:49Glorious from current
01:58Wow
02:00How is that for an opening boundary for the Zimbabwe captain?
02:05It's him on the pad shoes up in the finger is up
02:15Alan has a struck for Afghanistan
02:17Just slightly gone across the line of the ball
02:27Again a lack of foot movement stuck on the crease
02:30Simple
02:31Is it that's not a good delivery because it's just to pull the quality of Raza is not gonna miss out will the ball win the race?
02:40Yes, it does
02:41That's the first boundary for him in this innings
02:50That's a good shot
02:52This is the first really well-timed shot for sukanda Raza
02:58She gets his second boundary in the zinnings
03:02To correct me there I should be a boundary
03:06Yes, it is really well nicely played by sukanda Raza
03:18Heaved heaved heaved one bounce. I think it is for four just shoveled round the corner
03:28Having a boundary check
03:36Yeah
03:41Yeah, what you do is then you just bring the TV umpire in to keep him busy upstairs
03:51Pulse powerfully slammed away for four
03:55Poor poor delivery work for the fast bowler. I mean, oh gives up a boundary
04:09Easy
04:19Just punched away for a single my Ben Curran who's been a resolute in this morning session
04:27He's unbeaten on 79 or 476 deliveries
04:32Raza's come out there and been positive for his 37 or 48
04:37Afghanistan they've picked up two wickets
04:40They kept things in check. They'll probably wanted another one
04:44Just to maybe creep back into this session, but there's the breakdown
04:4924 overs bold 84 runs two wickets picked up at a run rate of three and a half
04:55Zimbabwe will be pleased
04:58A little bit of a pat on the back because they executed well dried up runs and were able to pick up
05:03Two very big wickets that of taylor and Irvin current 79 raza 37
05:10Three wickets for sharifi one for alum wicket for sharifi and alum today two wickets to fall
05:17The boundary first ball after lunch
05:24Recalibrate I think is the word that
05:26Get you shot
05:34He's just used the angle of the ball coming into his hitting arc leg side seconda raza
05:45Fifteen
05:47Kosikanda raza
05:49Tough test match series a couple of months ago against new zealand in blawayo
05:54He opens up this one
05:56With an invaluable contribution 67 balls
06:01His 11th in this format
06:03Third against afghanistan third at orari sports club
06:07Slightly extended rest
06:12Lovely
06:13Nice punch from ben karen it'll go for four super quick outfield
06:26One prior to that one he just hit it a bit in the air and then
06:30That one he put it away this one. Well, it's another good shot races away to the boundary
06:35Yeah shot focus so long on areas of his game
06:48And you'd really want to work on and the main thing was the issue around off stump
06:54There we go
07:01He'll get the single
07:05There'll be a nod of the head
07:09And there's a test match hundred for ben karen
07:13For zimbabwe cricket, you know, they're test matches. What is it that they want to achieve? This has gone straight up in the air
07:23And this partnership as I said needs to grow has been broken
07:27It's a condor raza an easy catch hits deep squarely can put pressure back on the bowlers
07:34But with the context of the game no issues there
07:37Partnership at 99 you have full control of this particular instance in the game false shot finds the fielder
07:46Pettin fine coming underneath us for four
07:56His lane seven erratic
08:03Beautiful now this is what can happen when the new ball comes and it's nice and hard leather on willow
08:10the ball can race away
08:13153 now the lead
08:16And this one goes fine and that's going to be four as well surely yes, it is
08:23So nice little pickup in this over for ben karen with the new ball
08:32Glorious absolutely glorious from karen
08:40When it sort of flattens out the one side
08:42Through the gap that'll be four
08:47All along the ground so what happens is
08:50There's uh
08:56Edged
08:58Taken
09:00Brilliance by the captain to bring on our love before t first ball foot behind the low
09:06Oh, no
09:08Alan you've done it again
09:10Nick walsh yesterday the fights with tiga again
09:22Oh, this is probably why the skipper didn't want to give him the ball
09:25It's a no ball
09:30It's a no ball
09:31Oh given for the second time in the over is his foot behind the line
09:47This time from around the wicket to ben karen and this time he's got something behind the line
09:58And ben karen is lbw
10:01Zimbabwe lose the sixth wicket and it is the centurion ben karen 221 from 256
10:1415 boundaries in that innings
10:18Yeah, what an innings
10:20By ben karen visit the batting card karen who's just left or been dismissed for 121 welch with a start of 49
10:29taylor with 32 second raza with the 65 sharifi
10:34For afghanistan throughout and then it's alarm picks up his second
10:39And uh another no ball in the same over he dismissed the fads watiga illegally
10:51Wow
10:54Welcome to the crease brad evans
10:56We've done an outstanding job
11:03And if they can do that well lens and but then afghanistan is under pressure and that's another boundary for them and that's a wonderful start
11:10So that's something that they will probably would have said well wickets at the end of the day and set them back before they come out in the morning
11:16And that's gone a long way but the umpire says it's straight enough he gets number four
11:25Really done such a good job here for afghanistan
11:28Sharifi he's bowling in his 27th over he's just gone for
11:34Just over three runs to the over he's picked up his fourth wicket so yards away from the batter
11:39He's got number five
11:46What an outstanding effort in this innings from the debutante really balls so well throughout
11:52With his innings the fact that he had an extended spell this morning bolt for so long just over an hour has come back with this second new ball in his dunder
12:07Nicely placed that's a funny stroke
12:10It's turning tall and punching through the outside
12:19Super great placement behind square
12:28Like the way that brad evans is going about this period of play
12:33Naksimova wicket number six for sharifi
12:38As he picks up number six he set him up with a short ball
12:44And absarabani felt he had to play an aggressive cricket shot
12:55Wants two it's gone for four
12:59Down the ground there's a fielder back at long on but it's got enough legs on it
13:15Nice connection from brad evans
13:17The key there was the time at which he advanced down the pitch down to long off and to long on
13:31Inside edge looking to go straight he's gonna get four
13:36That could not have been too far away from the leg stump
13:38Three five five five for nine
13:44Oh
13:46Tino wanted you to stand still you did on that occasion and you picked up four don't pull short to me
13:53Number seven what an outing
14:04On test match debut
14:07For zia sharifi
14:11He was reading him for the rest of the over no issues with the front foot and this is really well deserved
14:18Foot goes nowhere goes with the in swinger that has been
14:25Quite a wet zimbabwe batting card bennett went early current his maiden test match hundred
14:31121 welsh with 49 taylor with 32 raza with 65
14:37Evans with a well-played 35 the bowlers there's only one to talk about
14:43Sharifi with his seven for 97 on debut and 32 oh first it is complete 127 plays 359 a lead of 232
14:56for zimbabwe on that first
15:00And so already signs there
15:05Grahams are drawing playing away from his body to blessing himself that's the pull shot he's taking it on wow
15:13He's got himself in a good position and it opens up the scoring in afghanistan's second innings
15:21Well, that's that's just a long hop from Missouri viney doesn't cut doesn't come up
15:26Just an easy hit
15:28To end the over ten without loss around to the right hand
15:34Gone up taken
15:36A good catch by Missouri viney on the boundary the pool shot
15:44There is uh that is a legitimate delivery, but it's the fact that it's just onto him too quickly
15:51Doesn't get it under control and Mzarabani running in from long
15:59Wonderful wonderful little punch off the back foot fast outfield and uh raza is not able to catch up
16:08No
16:14End of the over 34 for one
16:20Right then
16:22The lights been offered
16:27Batters have taken it and day number two has come to an end
16:33Afghanistan as I mentioned just the one wicket to four malik short delivery good catch by msarabani good short pitch delivery by
16:41Ingarabai bowlers
16:43msarabani
16:45That's pretty good both some excellent deliveries
16:47Mgarabai picks up the one evans just the two overs and then raza just
