0
32.3: Shoaib Bashir to Sean Williams, OUT! LBW! Up goes the finger again and this time it is Sean Williams who reviews! Flatter, on middle and leg, Sean Williams looks to paddle it fine but misses and wears it on his pads. A loud appeal and the finger goes up again. Sean Williams refers. Ultra Edge shows no spike and Ball Tracking shows that it was just clipping the top of leg. The onfield decision stands and that is the end of a brave innings from Sean Williams!

0

0
61.4: Gus Atkinson to Tanaka Chivanga, OUT! LBW! A yorker swinging in on middle, Tanaka Chivanga looks to dig it out and gets beaten as the ball hits his front pad. Appeal for LBW and not given. England are confident and they go for the review. Here's the third umpire on screen. There it is the ball has clearly hit the pad first. Ball Tracking coming up. Pitching in line, impact in line and hitting the leg stump. Three reds. The on-field call has to be reversed. Tanaka Chivanga has to go.

1
61.3: Gus Atkinson to Blessing Muzarabani, Full this time, on middle, Blessing Muzarabani makes some room and looks to drive it down the ground. He doesn't middle it as the ball trundles along to the right of mid off who cuts it off. Single taken.

0

0
96.3: Blessing Muzarabani to Harry Brook, OUT! BOWLED! Blessing Muzarabani has the last laugh! Back of a length, just outside off, Harry Brook looks to cut it as he inside edges it and chops it back onto his stumps. And with that, England have declared!

4
96.2: Blessing Muzarabani to Harry Brook, FOUR! Harry Brook's in a hurry here! Full on middle, Harry Brook skips down the track and lofts it over mid on. The mid on fielder goes running behind the ball and tries to push the ball away from the ropes, near the boundary, but fails to do so.

6
96.1: Blessing Muzarabani to Harry Brook, SIX! Harry Brook gets to his FIFTY in style! Short ball, just outside off, Harry Brook picks it up from there and pulls it way over deep backward square leg for six. An enterprising knock so far from Brook.

England Batting J Smith 4(4) H Brook 48(47)

0
95.6: Tanaka Chivanga to Jamie Smith, Dropped! Tafadzwa Tsiga the wicket-keeper has shelled a rather easy chance. A touch fuller, and shaping away, outside off, drawing the batter into the shot. Jamie Smith goes feeling at it as he outside edges it to the right of the wicket-keeper, who takes a step to his right and gets a good right hand on it, but can't quite hang on to it.

0
95.5: Tanaka Chivanga to Jamie Smith, On a good length, wide outside off. Shaping away from the right-hander, Jamie Smith thinks to go after it but leaves it alone in the end.

4

0
94.5: Blessing Muzarabani to Ben Stokes, OUT! CAUGHT! Short ball that rises viciously on Ben Stokes who is absolutely taken aback by this short ball as he takes his eyes off the ball.
