AUS vs ZIM Live Cricket Score

3 OUT! TIMBER! Mitchell Starc draws first blood! Mitchell Starc goes full and just outside off, gets the ball to nip back in sharply. Finds the gap between bat and pad to clip the off stump as Innocent Kaia was looking to defend this. Innocent Kaia has to depart and Australia have an early break through. Mitchell Starc has bowled a wicket-maiden and the pressure is now on Zimbabwe. 13/1

6.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Mitchell Starc is running through Zimbabwe's top order here! Tadiwanashe Marumani is the next casualty as Zimbabwe find themselves in deep trouble. Mitchell Starc serves this full and in line with the stumps, Tadiwanashe Marumani flicks the ball straight into the hands of square leg. Marnus Labuschagne (sub) does not make any mistake as he pouches an easy catch. Zimbabwe have lost their third. 14/3

4.3 OUT! LBW! Mitchell Starc strikes again and it's the in-form player Wesley Madhevere! Mitchell Starc goes full and gets the ball to swing in from middle, Wesley Madhevere plays at it late and the ball crashes into the pads. There is a huge appeal and the umpire takes his time but eventually gives that out. They consider reviewing this but will not take it and Wesley Madhevere makes the long walk back to the pavillion. Zimbabwe have lost their second wicket. 13/2

24 OUT! TAKEN! Sean Williams' stay is cut short as Zampa provides the breakthrough. The set-batter goes now and we are into the tail-enders! Sean Williams will be disappointed with this shot. Pitched up, outside off, a bit of air given by Zampa. Williams tries to go over covers but his foot is stuck in his crease and the ball generates a thick outside edge and goes to short third man where Cameron Green runs to his right and pouches it in front of him. 83/7

14.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Josh Hazlewood gets his man and Sikandar Raza's counter punch has to end here! Josh Hazlewood bangs this one short and bowls this well outside off, Sikandar Raza goes across the stumps and looks to pull this towards the leg side. Stumbles as he is taking a shot and gets a top edge that flies towards deep square leg. Marcus Stoinis is standing in position as he settles low to take the catch and rolls onto his back. Big wicket for Australia as the danger man Sikandar Raza departs. Zimbabwe are now four down and are looking down a barrel. 46/4

17.5 OUT! TAKEN! The skipper goes now! The promising start is over and Zimbabwe have lost half their team! A floated full ball, outside off. Regis Chakabva was not in control as he tries to go over covers. He toe ends his shot and Mitchell Starc backtracks to hold onto it. This has been a disppointing display as the batters seem to be throwing their wickets away on a difficult pitch. 59/5

22.3 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Green with his first wicket in his very first over! He is certainly enjoying this tour! He shows why he is so crucial in these middle overs! Serves a short ball, around off, the ball just nips away off the deck. Tony Munyonga is squared up as he looks to defend and gets an outside edge to the keeper, Alex Carey who makes no mistake. 79/6

26.2 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Green with his second wicket! A bouncer, around off and it gets big on Burl who gets on his toes to defend but the ball brushes his glove and goes to the keeper, Alex Carey who gobbles it up. Just superb stuff from Green. Australia are all over their opponents here and Zimbabwe have been pegged against the wall. 93/8

27.2 OUT! BOWLED 'EM! A quicker ball from Zampa, shorter and angling around leg as it skids through off the surface. Jongwe tries to use the depth of his crease as he looks to push it away but he misses and the ball hits his pads before hitting the leg stump. Luke Jongwe has to depart and getting to 100 is looking hard for Zimbabwe. Adam Zampa continues his fine form with the ball. 95/9

27.5 OUT! LBW! Zampa wraps things up! This is very full and pushed through quicker, around off, was a googly as well. Evans fails to read as he has a wild swing across the line but misses and gets hit on the back pad. A huge shout for LBW and up goes the finger. Evans is quick to review as he thinks there is some bat on it. UltraEdge is taking time to load. The umpire tries to work with slow-motion replays. No bat, calls the third umpire as confirmed by Hotspot. Ball Tracking shows umpire's call on wickets hitting. Zimbabwe are all out on 96. 96/10

2.1 OUT! TAKEN! Excellent catch by Brad Evans! Just what Zimbabwe wanted, a wicket at the start! Warner again comes down the track and Richard Ngarava sticks to his length. He bangs a short ball and cramps Warner for room. He looks to go hard at the ball but gets a top edge to third man where Brad Evans runs in and takes a solid forward diving catch. Zimbabwe draw first blood and will be looking to build on this. 15/1

2.3 OUT! TAKEN! Finch goes now and Zimbabwe are making Australia work hard for the win! A length ball, outside off, angling across. Finch tries to defend with an angled bat but gets an outside edge to first slip where Sikandar Raza fumbles on his first attempt but holds onto it in the end. Richard Ngarava gets two in one over and Australia will now have to take a step back to consolidate. 16/2
