5.4 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! No mistake this time and Tony de Zorzi has been put out of his misery. Tanaka hits the length hard and serves it on a back of a length, on off, Tony gets on his toes and is better off leaving the ball alone. Ends up jabbing at the ball with hard hands. The ball nibbles away to catch the outside edge and it goes low to third slip. Brian Bennett gets low enough and gets his fingers under the ball to snaffle it. Tony de Zorzi departs for 0 (16) and South Africa are 3/1.  3/1

13 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! The extra bit of bounce does the trick! Tanaka Chivanga bowls it on the back of a length, just around the fifth stump line.

Brian Bennett, standing there, takes a sharp catch to his right. Matthew Breetzke departs on 13 (45). South Africa are two down for 21.  21/2

22.3 OUT! RUN OUT! Dear o dear! A massive, massive mix-up in between and South Africa lose their fourth wicket. And just as the partnership for this fourth wicket was blooming nicely, this wicket has come at a perfect time for the hosts. This is on a good length, nipping into the right hander. Wiaan Mulder hops on the back foot and stabs it to the right of the pitch and sniffs a single. Lhuan-dre Pretorius is keen to cross over, but Wiaan Mulder takes a couple of steps ahead and reluctantly slows down, but decides to cross over. Blessing Muzarabani runs across the batters to collect the ball, which further slows down the momentum of Wiaan. Blessing Muzarabani picks the ball and quickly turns around, releases the throw, flat and scores a direct hit at the bowler's end. Wiaan Mulder jogs off to reach but is well short.  55/4

Lhuan-dre Pretorius departs for 153 (160), and South Africa are seven down.  289/7

Dewald Brevis departs for 51 (41), and South Africa are 150/5.  150/5

41.4 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Zimbabwe gradually making inroads in the session as Wellington Masakadza gets his first wicket. Nicely floated full, drifting into the middle stump line. It lands and spins away from the batter. Kyle Verreynne plants his leg in front to push it straight, but since the ball spins away across the batter, the outside edge is found. It goes flat and low to the right of the first slip. Craig Ervine bends low and snaffles it easily.  181/6

85 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! CAUGHT! Blessing Muzarabani's short ball ploy finally gives him his second wicket. He keeps hitting that short of a good length, just around off. It lands and nips back into the batter with some extra lift. Codi Yusuf leans back and plays the uppercut, but picks the man at deep third. Sean Williams runs in a few yards forward and completes the catch. Quite a handy knock from the South African number 10, as Codi Yusuf departs for 27 (49). The visitors are 9 down on 387.  389/9

0.5 OUT! GONE! Maiden wicket for Codi Yusuf as he strikes in the very first over of his Test career. What a special moment for him. Creates an angle as he serves it full and on middle and leg. Takudzwanashe Kaitano plants his front foot across to flick it past square leg but plays it aerially to Tony de Zorzi who takes it low in front of him. Bright start for the young Codi Yusuf. Takudzwanashe Kaitano departs on a golden duck and Zimbabwe are 5/1, trailing by 413 runs.  5/1

4.1 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Codi Yusuf strikes again! He is playing with the pitch, extracting good pace and bounce, and that is what's giving him the results. Codi Yusuf bowls it slightly short and into the surface, it nips away from outside off. Nick Welch slashes hard at it, playing it away from the body, without any footwork. Ends up getting a faint outside edge to the keeper, Kyle Verreynne, who makes no mistake. Ordinary shot from Welch and he has to go on 4 (5). Zimbabwe are 23/2, trailing by 395 runs.  23/2

65.2 OUT! STUMPED! End of a brilliant knock from Sean Williams! Probably looked a bit tired in this session. Tossed up, outside off and it turns away. Sean Williams takes a big stride forward to defend but misses as the ball turns away and goes past his outside edge. So big was the stride that Sean Williams failed to drag his back foot inside the line. Kyle Verreynne collects and clips the bails off. Easy decision for the third umpire. Zimbabwe in trouble now as Sean Williams departs for a marathon 137 (164).  249/8

33.4 OUT! STUMPED! Was that needed? Craig Ervine was batting so well from his crease, but to negotiate the spin, he came down the track. Keshav Maharaj nicely tosses it up, outside off. Craig Ervine fails to get his bat across and it goes past his blade to the keeper, Kyle Verreynne, who misses the stumps on his first attempt but quickly dislodges the bail. Anyways, Craig Ervine didn't even attempt to get back. South Africa have a welcome breakthrough as Craig Ervine departs for 36 (90) and Zimbabwe are 119/3, trailing by another 299 runs.  119/3

42.5 OUT! LBW! South Africa get a breakthrough here, and a good partnership between these two batters comes to an end. Wiaan Mulder bowls it on a full length, nipping back onto the off stump. Wessly Madhevere plants his front foot forward and looks to flick it from the crease, but plays over the wrong line and misses it, and wears it on the front pad.

Kyle Verreynne, behind the wicket, dives to his left to take a low catch. An appeal for caught behind, but the umpire is not convinced, so they send it upstairs! The third umpire first checks for the legality of the delivery. No issues there as some part of Mulder's boot is behind the line. Now, the third umpire is checking for a fair catch. A few angles pop up and it is deemed a clean catch. OUT is displayed on the big screen as Kyle Verreynne just scooped the ball before the grass cleanly. Prince Masvaure departs on 7 (9) and Zimbabwe are five down!  185/5

49 OUT! CAUGHT! Wiaan Mulder gets his third of this innings as he bowls this one on a good length, on the middle.

1.2 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Tanaka Chivanga continues to shine in this game. Superb field placement! It went straight to the fielder!

It carries flat and straight to Wessly Madhevere at gully. Bright start by Zimbabwe. An underwhelming outing for Matthew Breetzke again as he departs on 1 (6).

End of a sensational knock from Wiaan Mulder as the 104-run partnership is finally broken!  259/6

32.1 OUT! TAKEN! Wellington Masakadza strikes on his return to the attack! It was an innocuous delivery and David Bedingham is gutted as he walks off.

Nick rises to get on top of the bounce but the ball keeps climbing onto him. Welch tries to take the bottom hand of the bat but the ball catches the gloves and lobs tamely for Tony de Zorzi to take a dolly at short leg. Corbin Bosch is on a hat-trick.  32/2

24.2 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! End of Sean Williams' struggles against Corbin Bosch! A massive blow to Zimbabwe as the centurion from the first innings falls.

The keeper, Kyle Verreynne, does the rest behind the wicket.  72/5

32.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Codi Yusuf is on a roll! Three wickets in as many overs for Yusuf today. A nothing shot from Tafadzwa Tsiga and he pays the ultimate price. Delivers it on a back of a length, well outside off, Tsiga hangs on the back foot and has a fiddle at the delivery well away from his body. Gets an outside edge that travels quickly to fourth slip and Corbin Bosch takes a sharp catch to his right.  82/6
