ZIM vs SA Live Cricket Score

9.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Tanaka Chivanga draws first blood for Zimbabwe and Tony de Zorzi departs for 10(30). Bowls it on the hard length and outside off, and gets it to come back in from wide of the crease, also gets that step bounce off the deck. Tony rises with the bounce and goes to cut it, but the ball is close to his body, which he wouldn't have anticipated. Also, he fails to judge that extra bounce. As he tries to force his cut shot, the ball catches the outer half of the bat and goes towards backward point, where Nick Welch takes this sharp catch around his face height. South Africa are 11/1.  11/1

13.5 OUT! PLUMB LBW! Wellington Masakadza strikes now and the debutant goes for just 3 runs. Tossed it up and around off and middle, gets to slide in with the angle and much fuller, Lesego Senokwane goes on his knees and looks to sweep it. As the ball is too close to the body, he misses his shot and gets rapped on the front pad. The appeals go up and the umpire raises his finger. Zimbabwe have been brilliant this morning as they have taken two wickets within the first hour. South Africa are 24/2.  24/2

50.2 OUT! The bowling change works for Zimbabwe. Good length, tailing back in a hint, David Bedingham prods in front and looks to punch this but gets beaten with the inwards movement and gets hit on his front pad. A gentle appeal is all that the umpire needed to raise his finger. David Bedingham misses out on a century as he is dismissed on 82.  208/3

81.1 OUT! FINALLY A BREAKTHROUGH FOR ZIMBABWE! First Test wicket for Kundai Matigimu. On a length, angling away from the batter, Lhuan-dre Pretorius shimmies down the track and looks to slog sweep this out of the park, but his bat tilts in his hands at the time of contact with the ball, and Pretorius ends up spooning it towards Wellington Masakadza at mid on. WM makes no mistake and holds onto this. Could this be the opening for Zimbabwe?  425/4

96.4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Zimbabwe are rewarded for being disciplined since the start of play on Day 2. Kundai Matigimu bends his back and bowls a slightly shorter delivery just outside off, Dewald Brevis slashes hard at it off the back foot without any foot movement and fails to get anywhere behind it. Gets an outside edge and Clive Madande on as a substitute keeper, behind the stumps, does the rest by gathering this cleanly.  513/5

0.1 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! An absolute ripper to get first up after being out in the field for 114 overs. Codi Yusuf hits that nagging length around off, taking the ball a hint away from the batter. Takudzwanashe Kaitano presses forward to block this out but the ball shaping away a fraction gets the better of the batter as Kaitano ends up edging this back to the keeper. A golden duck for Takudzwanashe Kaitano.  0/1

1.4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Another one falls for Zimbabwe as South African bowlers show the way to the home side's bowlers on how to bowl on this deck. Hits the hard length wide of off, shaping the red cherry away from Myers. The batter gets tempted to poke at it and ends up edging this back to Kyle Verreynne, who makes no mistake behind the wickets.  4/2

6.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Nick Welch departs as the substitute fielder, Zubayr Hamza takes a brilliant catch running in from point. Codi Yusuf dishes this full and tailing back into the batter. Nick Welch goes for the flick towards the mid-wicket region but he fails to hit this clear and gets an inside edge onto the pads. The ball lobs in front of Hamza, standing at point, but he runs in, dives in front and takes a beauty to send back Welch to the dressing room.  15/3

19 OUT! PLAYED ON! Wiaan Mulder bags his second and Zimbabwe are five down. Bowls it on the hard length and keeps the line in that channel outside off, gets it to skid off the surface, Wessly Madhevere should have played it on the front foot but he chooses to go on the back foot and looks to defend it with a full face of the bat. Gets an inside edge, and the ball crashes onto the off stump. Zimbabwe are in trouble as they lose their half of the side.  56/5

16.5 OUT! CAUGHT! The captain of Zimbabwe departs and the magic man of South Africa does another extraordinary work. He bowls it on the hard length and keeps the line around the off stump, but the ball shoots up unexpectedly and surprises the batter. Craig Ervine presses back and looks to sway away from it but the ball follows him and as he goes to drop it down and brings his bat close to his body to defend. The ball takes the outside edge of the bat and lobs up towards backward point, where Codi Yusuf was alerted as he moves to his right, puts in a dive and pouches this low catch. Zimbabwe are 51/4.  51/4

23.5 OUT! Another goes down and Zimbabwe are under the pump! Touch short and turns away, around off, Tafadzwa Tsiga goes back and wants to take on the bowler. A rash shot, to be honest, considering the situation of the match and he can't connect it well as plays the shot against the turn. Gets a top edge that goes towards cover point, where Dewald Brevis calls for it and pouches it safely around his chest height. The ship is sinking for Zimbabwe as they are losing one after another and that too, after conceding over 600 runs in the first innings.  82/6

30.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Prenelan Subrayen gets his first Test wicket and Zimbabwe lose their seventh. Tossed it up and around off, that in-between length, Wellington Masakadza is half-drawn forward as he goes to push it into the off side. Plays it with soft hands, but the ball gets some drift off the deck, and thus he gets an outside edge that goes low to the first slip, where the skipper Wiaan Mulder stays crouched and picks it just above the ground. Zimbabwe are on the verge of getting bundled out.  109/7

32.5 OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! Prenelan Subrayen gets his second and Zimbabwe lose their eighth! Gives flight and keeps it on the dragged length, forces the batter to play it on the front foot, and keeps the line around the off stump. Kundai Matigimu comes forward and looks to defend it and plays for the turn. But the ball gets straightened out after pitching and beats the outside edge of the bat and rattles the off stump. This has been amazing bowling from South Africa.  121/8

36.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Another one perishes and Zimbabwe are nine down. Tosses it up and around off, and keeps it much slower. Blessing Muzarabani wants to take on the bowler as he steps out and looks to go over mid off. Doesn't get to the pitch of the ball and hence, doesn't get the desired elevation. The ball goes flat towards mid off, where the substitute fielder, Kwena Maphaka, moves slightly to his left and takes it reverse cup around his face. Zimbabwe are just one wicket away from getting bowled out now.  135/9

43 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Zimbabwe are bundled out for 170 in the first innings. Tossed up, closer to the pads. Tanaka Chivanga fails to get underneath as he was aiming to loft this to long on for one. Kwena Maphaka, on as a substitute, takes a good catch leaping on point at short mid-wicket to wrap things up in the first innings.  170/10

9.2 OUT! TIMBER! Dion Myers succumbs to a brilliant delivery by Corbin Bosch and the pacer gives him a proper sendoff as well. Good length, angling sharply back into the batter. Dion Myers gets a bit late in bringing his bat down behind it, and the ball sneaks past the batter and rattles the middle stump. This was a big jag-back in delivery, as the dust has puffed there, and Zimbabwe are one down in the second inning. They have a big task uphill, and the small resistance of the openers has come down.  31/1

23.2 OUT! THE CHANGE IN BOWLING WORKS! Gives it a lot more air, around off, the ball grips and bounces a bit as it turns away from the batter. Takudzwanashe Kaitano looks to push this all along the ground towards the leg side but gets a leading edge as he checks his shot in the end, and the ball lobs up straight to Dewald Brevis at short cover for a soft dismissal, who pouches it around his face. Zimbabwe are two down and they have a big, big trail to climb.  64/2

50 OUT! CAUGHT! Senuran Muthusamy has his man, finally and this time, Mulder makes no mistake, so that dropped catch hasn't cost much to South Africa. Gives flight and pitches it full and around off, Nick Welch takes a step forward and looks to flick it. He gets undone by turn and drift and just manages to get a leading edge that goes towards slip, where Wiaan Mulder moves to his right a bit and pouches this low catch around his waist height. Zimbabwe are four down and a set batter, Nick Welch, is gone after playing a good hand of 55 runs.  153/4

28.5 OUT! TIMBER! Wiaan weaves his magic with the ball in his hands now. Good length, pitching on leg and angling away from the batter. Sean Williams looks to block this out but gets late in bringing his bat down. The ball beats the outside edge of the bat and hits bang on top of the off-pole, uprooting it. Sean Williams gets bowled and Zimbabwe are 103 for 3.  103/3

64.1 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! The skipper of Zimbabwe goes back and they are seven down. Corbin bowls it full and outside off, and lures the batter to go for a drive. Craig Ervine comes forward and looks to just push it into the off side for a single to complete his milestone but plays it with soft hands. The ball isn't that full, and the batter only manages to get an outside edge that goes behind the wickets, where the keeper, Kyle Verreynne, moves to his left a bit and pouches it around his chest height. A big wicket for South Africa as they are just three wickets away from a big win.  182/7

52.3 OUT! LBW! Codi Yusuf gets his first and Zimbabwe are five down! Bowls it on the hard length and around off, gets it skid away from the surface. Wessly Madhevere is caught in his crease as he remains in two minds whether to play it on the front foot or the back foot. He chooses the former one and looks to defend it with a straight bat. But the ball nips back in sharply and beats the outside edge of the bat and hits him on the front pad. An appeal goes up for LBW and the umpire obliges. Wessly Madhevere walks back and Zimbabwe are under the sink now as they lose their half of the side. South Africa are just cruising at the moment in this session or to say, in this match whole.  166/5

58.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Another goes down, and South Africa are just four wickets away from a clean sweep now! A bit fuller but not that full, around middle, tries to attack the stumps, Tafadzwa Tsiga prods forward and looks to defend it but gets a bit late in his shot and ends up chipping it aerially to mid-wicket. Lesego Senokwane takes a simple catch around his chest height and Zimbabwe are six down. A soft dismissal for the batter, but Codi Yusuf has executed his strategies to perfection and picks up his second wickets of the inning.  177/6

64.4 OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! This is amazing bowling from Corbin Bosch. Bowls it on a good length and from wide of the crease to create an inward angle, and keeps the line around off. Kundai Matigimu plants his front leg forward and looks to defend it but plays the inside line and also gets a bit late to bring his bat down in time. The ball straightens out after pitching and goes with pace to beat the underedge of the bat and rattles the off stump. Zimbabwe are eight down and South Africa are just two wickets away.  182/8

68.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Zimbabwe are nine down and Corbin Bosch picks up his fourth wicket! Bowls it on the back of a length, and keeps the line around the off stump. Gets an extra bounce off the deck and Blessing Muzarabani presses back to defend it but gets a bit surprised. The ball follows him and he only manages to get an outside edge that goes to the right of third slip, where Lesego Senokwane puts in a dive there and pouches it with both hands. South Africa are now just one wicket away, and this session can get extended if they don't get in scheduled time.  184/9

77.3 OUT! CAUGHT! South Africa have won the match by an inning and 236 and have done a clean sweep in the series! Tossed it up and around middle, from wide of the crease, Tanaka Chivanga goes across and looks to paddle it fine. But gets a top edge that lobs up over the keeper behind the wickets. Wiaan Mulder quickly moves to his left from first slip and pouches it. That has been a thumping win for SA.  220/10
