save, but can't prevent the first run in six balls
48.3 Nkala to Sulzberger, one run, full and straight, Sulzberger pushes
it down the ground on the on side, they look for a quick second
but a loud yell of 'no!' from Sulzberger stops it going any
further
48.4 Nkala to Harris, legbye: one run, slower ball, angling on leg
stump, Harris is deceived as he tries to whip it away through
square leg, drops off the thigh pad on the leg side for another
quick run
48.5 Nkala to Sulzberger, one run, straight ball, again just simply
stroked down to long on
the last few overs have been a mini-disaster here for the New

just 12 off the last 3 overs, excellent bowling by Zimbabwe, New
Zealand just struggling to get bat on ball, much less any decent
placement of it
49.1 Streak to Harris, no run, excellent full ball outside off stump,
around the wicket in the blockhole, Harris plays over the top of
it trying to drive through the covers, straight through to Flower
49.2 Streak to Harris, one run, similar again, this time at least Harris
maanges to jam it out and away to deep cover point where two
sweepers converge, only another single on offer
long off and long on pushed right back to the boundary edge now,
despite Sulzberger struggling to even hit the ball
49.3 Streak to Sulzberger, one run, straight ball, Sulzberger shuffles
across his crease to work it away well through forward square leg,
but yet again just the one is on offer
49.4 Streak to Harris, OUT: Streak does it again, nice and tight on
Harris' toes and he can only slice a top edge away direct to
Viljoen at backward point

Zimbabwe have completely shut down New Zealand's end of innings hit
out, and on a good track like this, it could well prove crucial
Daryl Tuffey the new batsman, at the non-striker's end
49.5 Streak to Sulzberger, no run, another fine yorker length ball
outside off stump, Sulzberger chops down on it unsuccessfully,
through to Flower, he looks for a bye but goes back as the throw
comes at the keeper's end, just missing the stumps
49.6 Streak to Sulzberger, one run, 6 full balls out of 6, Sulzberger
jams it away to backward point, they begrudgingly accept the
solitary single on offer, and there ends New Zealand's poor tail-
end charge

just 6 runs coming off Streak's last 2 overs, and 9 off Nkala's
final pair along with 3 wickets between them
nevertheless, it is a decent total posted by New Zealand, but at
many stages throughout their innings, in particular just prior to
the dismissals of Twose and McMillan, it looked like they were
destined for a lot more than this
Zimbabwe clung in there, chipping out the wickets, and will now
face an asking rate of 5.30 per over to take the series from the
visitors and atone for their whitewash Test series defeat
the Zimbabwean innings should begin in just under 30 minutes time
at 2pm local time (1200 GMT)
Match State: Innings break
0.1 O'Connor to Campbell, no run
0.2 O'Connor to Campbell, wide: no run, wide outside off stump and
swinging away, Campbell has a big swing at it but can't reach it
0.2 O'Connor to Campbell, no run, overpitched outside off stump,
strongly driven straight up the ground but can't beat a good
diving save to his left from the mid off fielder
0.3 O'Connor to Campbell, no run, full ball with a little away swing,
jammed into the pitch and back to the bowler
0.4 O'Connor to Campbell, no run, driven strongly straight up to Styris
at mid off again
0.5 O'Connor to Campbell, no run, a bit shorter, cuts it hard into the
ground straight to Astle at short cover on the bounce, Marillier
was lazily hanging well out of his crease, Astle has a good
presence to quickly shy at the bowler's end, but just misses a
certain dismissal
0.6 O'Connor to Campbell, FOUR, overpitched on his toes, driven
straight down the ground past the bowler on the leg side and
O'Connor ruins a good opening over

1.2 Tuffey to Marillier, no run, shortish ball outside off stump,
chopped hard into the ground towards cover point, Marillier sets
off for the single but has to return after a loud shout for 'no!'
from Campbell, the right call
the point man fumbles with the ball so any potential problem is
quelled
1.3 Tuffey to Marillier, SIX, short rising ball angling down the leg
side, Marillier gets a big top edge trying to pull it away, flies
high over the keeper and down over fine leg to get off the mark
with the full value
1.4 Tuffey to Marillier, no run, nicely driven but straight up to Twose
at mid off
1.5 Tuffey to Marillier, one run, short rising ball outside off stump,
gets over the top of it well to cut down to third man
1.6 Tuffey to Campbell, wide: no run, full and quick but poorly
directed well down the leg side, called wide as Campbell fails to
catch up with it with a mighty swing
1.6 Tuffey to Campbell, one run, shortish ball on off stump, held back
somewhat, Campbell easily glides it down to third man off the open
face
