00:00That's four runs. Officially hit but well placed. That's a very well played shot. Deepak just
00:15waiting for the shot to run also lost him and this ball given him a lot of width. He had all
00:20the time to play the shot. A well-timed square card on a beautifully played shot finding the
00:25gap with in point and third man for four runs.
00:35Oh dear. Unfortunate but it really sums up their morning so far. He's dragged it on
00:42and that's the end of Tariq Iqbal. And that's due to the double pace of the
00:48wicket. Especially Iqbal must have been thinking the ball will come up to him.
00:52The ball is pitched quite short outside the Ofstom. A lot of room to play the shot but
00:56then the ball comes slow. It's not that much a bounce. Takes the inside edge onto the
00:59stumps. So Iqbal goes for one. Seven for one.
01:11Double shot. And Whittle giving the treatment there.
01:17Chudasama looking threatening. Well at that speed you can't really afford to
01:23stray away in line and length and that is what Whittle has done. His goal shot
01:27well outside the Ofstom giving Chudasama all the time in the world to play through that gap before.
01:37Lovely shot from Chudasama. One of the foot movement there. Into the line and pitched the ball and away it went. Four more.
01:45He's into the twenties now. Well that's the shot of the match so far.
01:50The ball fished well up to him. A slower delivery and look at Chudasama just
01:53lunging himself onto that shot. So beautifully played.
01:57Oh well bowled. Round his legs. He can't believe it but Peele has struck.
02:14I think he has just pushed that left leg up. It's a bit too far. You can see that you can see
02:26all three stumps behind his legs there and Peele getting the ball to turn. Pitched it
02:31just outside all stump. But that's the second wicket down for Kenya. They are 60 for two.
02:44Oh very well bowled. And he's there's an appeal for a stumping. Andy Flowers says he caught it as well.
02:53He's not been given it for the catch. But he may have for the stumping.
03:00Yes I think Andy Flowers is more convinced about the catch. He doesn't want to go to the third
03:04umpire for the stumping. But let's have a look at this.
03:06Well the foot is in the air. He's out. I'm not too sure about that Simon. His foot is down now with the
03:16bale in the air. The bale wasn't in the air the shot before. Let's have one more look. I think his
03:22foot's just off the just off the ground. There's there it is just going there. It's a fractional call
03:27but for me he's out. And he's given. Third ampire GF Malik signals the end. Good bowling. And that is
03:39a critical wicket. The end of Steve Ticola. Good bowling but also very good wicket keeping by Andy Flowers.
03:46Good bowling. Good bowling. Good bowling. Good bowling. Good bowling. Good bowling. Good bowling. It's going to be close.
04:06And again we call for the third umpire. Grant Flower the fielder once more.
04:16And calls it out all around us. We'll see. I think Shudasama will find himself in a bit of trouble here.
04:22Simon. There was a bit of hesitation and certainly was a very good throw. A bit high perhaps. But he's way
04:30out of the picture. He's out surely. Yeah. At last we get confirmation. And they're in real trouble.
04:38Oh well bowled. Strang strikes again. And that's the end of Ishish Modi.
04:56And once more he flipped it on. Delivery similar to the one previously. Coming back in towards the left
05:09hander. Finding that bit of gap between bat and pad. But also taking an inside edge off the bat.
05:15And six to seven for five Kenya.
05:20In the air. Could be out dropped. Dropped by Grant Flower at backward point. It got to him. It was one of those
05:29difficult ones to assess. It's Kenya five to 67. Well flashing right outside the off stump.
05:39What was it in the air. Didn't go right across the line of the ball. Played from far away with the body.
05:43There. That's out.
05:57Edward Udumbe the man trying to go over the top. Alistair Campbell the man taking the catch.
06:03It was a brilliant catch there. Edward Udumbe again nowhere near the ball. And a good sensible
06:08diving catch I should say. Judge it very well. And he didn't make a big hash of it. Just took it very
06:14coolly I should say. Udumbe not at all comfortable against Strang right from the beginning. Kenya 109 for six.
06:20And there goes another. Another simple dismissal. Thomas Odoia just lofting the ball onto the offside.
06:34And Paul Strang strikes again.
06:40Very simple catch I should say. Just uh just like a catch practice. And Udumbe didn't know how to play the
06:46delivery at all. And just straight on into the cow's fielder. Kenya struggling at 109 for six.
06:50Asif Karim replaces Thomas Odoia who didn't last very long at all.
07:05That's close. And he's out. Didn't last too long either.
07:09That's a sensational lower by Strang straight on the middle and leg and his plum in front of the wicket.
07:15Strang bowling very well. Three wickets and four balls. Kenya struggling 109 for eight.
07:21There you see. Well flighted delivery on the middle and leg stem of the batsman up. Missed the ball
07:26completely and his plum in front of the wicket.
07:28And he's gonna go. Oh. Only just at the second attempt. But he gets the wicket. And Paul Strang
07:43has his fourth wicket here. Well that's it. That is what exactly I was talking. He was not
07:47just going right on top of the ball. He plays from where he is. Goes back first. And maybe he's uh
07:53a little uh uncertain about stepping out. As you see on that occasion. He just stands. His head is high
07:59in the air. Plays it up in the air. There it goes. Oh second attempt. And it's amazing whenever
08:06such easy catches come in. It's always difficult taken on the second attempt. And at that score
08:11at that time. Kenya 134.9.
08:28The Kenyan innings is over. And Paul Strang has taken his fifth wicket. And here's how it happened.
08:36That's a shot to every wrong one. Batsman getting full hold of it. But the ground's too long at that end.
08:42And he's taken very well. Grant Flower takes the catch. And the important thing is the fifth wicket
08:49for Paul Strang and Kenya.
08:52He fancied that one. He was right up there in the block hole. Go of punishing that one. And so he shouldn't.
09:04It's a big hit. And there are no feelers out there. Still only now two outside the circle. And there are none
09:18in the mid-wicket region.
09:26There he goes. And that's out. Looking to hit over the top. Andrew Waller not quite making it.
09:33Steve Ticola the man at mid-on taking the catch.
09:38And Kenya get the first wicket. Well that's a very good catch. Andrew Waller did this.
09:43Yesterday as well was holding himself out at mid-on. And on this occasion it's
09:49going all along the ground. It's quite difficult to take it in the background. Follow that wicket.
09:52Zimbabwe 59 for one.
09:58In the air safe. No it's not. It's out caught.
10:01Looked like it was going over the top just for a moment.
10:05And didn't quite have enough power in it.
10:07And Alistair Campbell pulling out to Diki Schmidt off.
10:14Well Kenya certainly needs some wickets. And the captain again strikes. That off spin
10:21caught just on the edge of that circle by Steve Ticola. Zimbabwe no will lose their second wicket on 79.
10:28Oh full flourish from Grandflower. That's through for four. So immediately we get the median paces back.
10:42Away the ball goes to the boundary. Fine shot there from Grandflower. Maybe that's what they were waiting for.
10:47That's the end of Grandflower. And well bowled Rajabali. Heads up cricket.
11:01Well that was right in the block hole. And a slow one at that. And it beat him completely. He was
11:06absolutely mesmerized by that ball. He was already committed for the stroke. You see that swell up
11:11into the block hole. Hitting the center stump. Just touching them. And Grandflower had no answer
11:16to that at all. And the fall of that wicket. Zimbabwe 104 for three.
11:26That could be how it is. Edward Adumbe takes the catch. And it's still not completely over.
11:35Look at the jubilation. I mean they've almost lost this game. The sense that there are only about 27
11:40runs to go. And a catch is taken now. Just the fourth wicket gone. And look at the jubilation
11:45amongst the fielders. As he tries to pick up on the rise. Doesn't get a proper hold of it. It's thick.
11:51It hit the up of the bat. And a good catch by Edward Adumbe at
11:56mid on. So at the fall of that wicket. Zimbabwe 108 for four.
12:00Got that away. That's a fine shot from Andy Flower. And that's three for four.
12:12Sparing dive from Rajavali.
12:14That's got to be close. He's given. And Rajavali dismisses the skipper who for the third time has
12:27gone without reaching double figures in this World Cup. And Zimbabwe, well, they're in a bit of trouble
12:34at the moment. Well, just goes half caught. Ball is straight in line. And wasn't forward that much
12:41to get the advantage. Then Andy Flower goes for five. Zimbabwe had been 13 for five.
12:46Well placed. That's another boundary.
13:02When he hits it, he really hits it.
13:05There it goes. The Yorker wasn't pitched properly. And Craig Evans hitting straight down the ground.
13:22Another boundary. And that's the win for Zimbabwe. The first win in this tournament for Zimbabwe.
