34.2 OUT! RUN OUT! Out of nowhere Ireland have got the prized wicket of Joylord Gumbie. The maximum off the previous delivery, won't be painful anymore. A short ball, around middle and leg. Wellington Masakadza goes for the pull shot once again, but it comes off the inner half this time and races towards wide long on, whereas Wellington Masakadza was racing towards the striker's end for the second run. Andy McBrine throws it quickly at the non-striker's end, as he noticed Joylord Gumbie might be a touch late, and so he was. Even a full-stretched dive could not save him. The third umpire confirms the same. 167/8

1.4 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Graham Hume draws first blood for Ireland! An early blow for Zimbabwe! Graham Hume hurls this one on a good length, outside off, not much movement, Tinashe Kamunhukamwe hangs back in his crease and pokes at the delivery away from his body. Not movement of the feet whatsoever and Tinashe gets an outside edge that goes straight into the bread basket of Andy Balbirnie at second slip. 2/1

13.1 OUT! RUN OUT! Miscommunication and Kaitano is a goner. The 43-run stand comes to an end. Fantastic work from Harry Tector. It is a back-of-a-length delivery, on the fourth stump line. Gumbie stays back and dabs it to the right of gully. Tector moves to his left, puts in a dive that side and makes a brilliant one-handed stop. Meanwhile, the batters were not really sure if the ball will go through him, and waited to see how it turns out, but still they could not find the right answer. Gumbie gets off to the other end, and Tector quite smartly scores a direct hit at the striker's end and gets another breakthrough for his side. Zimbabwe now in some trouble. 45/2

14.4 OUT! LBW! Curtis Campher with a loud roar as he gets this one on the money and finds his first wicket. Innocent Kaia has to walk back early. Campher hurls in a length ball, outside off, the ball hits the deck and nips in. Kaia fails to read this one and is caught inside the crease. He offers no feet movement and eventually gets pinged on his pads. Campher appeals and the finger goes up without any hesitation. Three wickets down then, Zimbabwe have hardly gotten any runs on the scoreboard. 54/3

27.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Curtis Campher gets the big fish! A big blow for Zimbabwe as their skipper departs! Curtis Campher takes pace off and bangs it in short, over middle, Sikandar Raza sees the shortness of the delivery and goes back to nail the pull towards deep square leg. He fails to get the elevation and hits it flat and straight to George Dockrell in the deep who does the rest. 123/4

27.3 OUT! CASTLED! The off-stump goes for a walk and Curtis Campher has two in the over! Bowls this one on a back of a length, on off, angling back into the right-hander, Clive Madande stays rooted in the crease as he looks to play at it but the ball skids on and keeps low as well. Gets beaten on the inside edge and the ball rattles into the off-stump. Clive Madande goes for a duck and Zimbabwe have now lost half their side! 123/5

31.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Graham Hume picks up his second wicket and Luke Jongwe has to walk back now. First attacking intent shown from him and he ends up finding the sole fielder placed on the leg side in the deep. Unfortunate one would say, but apart from Joylord Gumbie no one has looked promising for the hosts. Coming to the delivery. It is full, on the pads. Luke Jongwe tries to get his wrists into play, but ends up finding George Dockrell at deep square leg, who takes a sharp catch near the ropes. 147/6

33.2 OUT! CAUGHT IN THE DEEP! Graham Hume and George Dockrell combine once again after the rain break for another breakthrough. Graham Hume picks up his third. Zimbabwe now left with just 3 wickets in hand. Joylord Gumbie the set batter still out there, who can make a difference. Graham Hume goes full, angles it into the pads. Brandon Mavuta gets enticed and goes for the flick shot. He does not get a good connection on it though. George Dockrell charges in from deep square leg and holds on to it. 157/7

38 OUT! CAUGHT! Curtis Campher picks up his first ever four-wicket haul in ODIs, and Mark Adair gets the best feeling of playing any sport - silencing the crowd. Good length, around middle and off. Wellington Masakadza goes for the pull shot, continues to hunt for boundaries, but this time gets hunted down himself. He ends up finding Mark Adair at long on. The slower one does the trick this time. 188/9

40 OUT! BULLZEYE! The middle-stump gets uprooted and Graham Hume now records his best figures in ODI cricket. 197 is all Zimbabwe could get to in this 40-over match. Graham Hume fires in a yorker, Tanaka Chivanga goes leg side and tries to flay it over covers, but with no timing. The ball goes through and disturbs the furniture. 197/10

2.3 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Blessing Muzarabani strikes early for Zimbabwe! Delivers it on a hard length, in the channel on off, Paul Stirling gets drawn forward into the drive but the ball nips away late and rises off the deck. Stirling pushes away from the body and gets an outside edge which is pouched by the keeper Joylord Gumbie near his right shoulder. Paul Stirling was looking good until he played that shot. 12/1

16.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Zimbabwe break this stand against the run of play, just what they were looking for. Brandon Mavuta gets his first. Slightly shorter, on middle and leg. Curtis Campher opens his front leg and goes for the flick. He does not time it well through, as he does not go through with his shot completely. The ball is aerial and there is Wellington Masakadza placed at short mid-wicket only for such moments, and he takes a stunning catch diving to his right. 82/2

30.5 OUT! CAUGHT! A brilliant catch taken by the Zimbabwe skipper and he helps Luke Jongwe to break this partnership which was taking the game away from them. This wicket will surely give the hosts some hope. An off-cutter, full and on middle. Harry Tector tries to flick it away but is a bit early into his shot. The ball goes high up in the air off the leading edge, towards mid on. Sikandar Raza calls for it and takes a sharp catch. 145/3
