        very lucky not to be taken, the fielder just fell over as opposed
        to diving
  43.2 Stuart to Taibu, OUT: plays fwd, bat and pad toger, digs it up for
        King at midoff to dive on to it, rare occasion and he celebrates
        it, caught just inches off the grass, another one gone cheaply

        lateral movement at all on that one
  43.6 Stuart to BC Strang, no run, off the pad behind square, may have
        been a run or even two in that, VC at the other end says no, can't

        on the meat of that willow he's holding, into the ground and
        Stuart fields it himself
  45.3 Stuart to Whittall, no run, goes for it again, the off drive lands
        safely in King's hands, which is rather surprising in itself
  45.4 Stuart to Whittall, wide: no run, goodness, aerial wide, just lost
        control on the release, way over the batsman's head on the full,
        Browne is shocked as he takes it at waist height, Barbour calls it
        wide, square leg Ump calls no ball, take your pick boys
  45.4 Stuart to Whittall, FOUR, short and wide, fetch that one from deep

       So Zimbabwe seem to be pleading No Contest here, if this was a
        boxing match it would be all over, a bit early to say but this
        looks like another Test match being taken out of their reach,
        nothing short an inspired burst of bowling excellence will save it
       Streak to try again, will he put the Windians on the back foot
        (without letting them cut him through square?)

  23.1 Blignaut to Chanderpaul, FOUR, overpitched, rifled right back past
        him, this is exquisite Chanderpaul we are seeing here, lovely
        footwork and the epitokme of grace , impeccable timing, great to
        watch, he's playing the game as it was meant to be
  23.2 Blignaut to Chanderpaul, FOUR, this time through extra cover, no
        way to bowl to a man in this form, swings that straight bat like
        he's vanquishing dragons with a mighty sword, can't stop that Mr
        Streak, four runs
  23.3 Blignaut to Chanderpaul, no run, leaves it alone to swing way down
        off, the bowling isn't matching the batting for quality yet
  23.4 Blignaut to Chanderpaul, three runs, bowled it too straight, and
        with that vacant midwicket garden of flowers, not a good idea,
        flicked through there with a smile, almost makes the rope
       100 p'ship up already
  23.5 Blignaut to Ganga, no run
  23.6 Blignaut to Ganga, OUT: one of the few that didn't go to the fence,
        seams in a bit from the off side, tries to leave it and clips the
        inside edge as he shoulders his weapon, Taibu takes it gratefully
        and the Zimbabweans smile again, albeit prematurely

       The rain passes over us and the covers are off straight away
       Stumps being dug in again, players may have to come out again
       And the fielders hurry back out, we doubt the bats will return as
        fast
       Windies need 268 more runs to win here, they don't seem in a big
        rush, about 3.7 an over will do it

       They walk off again, rain spoiling this last day'y play
       It's coming down in buckets now, really terrible at this crucial
        state of the match
       Absolutely bucketing down here in Harare folks, basically cancelled
        any hopes we could have had of play
       The Umps walked out there not long ago, during a break in the
        deluge, but as the covers were coming off, it began again!
       The rain has stopped now, maybe for a little while
       They're going to take this little window to continue play, the
        fielders are out doing a warmup practice, hopefully we'll be under
        way, a result is not impossible yet

Match State: Tea - Day Five

       Here come the Umpres, we're not sure for how long, it's threatening
        again, clouds rolling back over the ground, at we'll get some
        play, maybe a few overs in before the menacing weather tries to
        ruin play again
       So a result may be doubtful, but the good news is that with Tea
        alreaady taken, we may play out the day if a break persists

        play on for now
  44.1 Streak to Gayle, no run
  44.2 Streak to Gayle, no run
       Coming down harder
       Barbour looks ready to call it off anyminute, standing there in the
        rain at square leg
  44.3 Streak to Gayle, FOUR, short and wide, slowed down by this weather
        somewhat, Gayle gets his fifty over slips, and they walk off the
        field! lucky Gayle
       Heath Streak says 'no', come back chaps, the Umpres are ready to
        walk but Streak wants to carry on, he calls the players off,
        really getting silly here
       Blignaut and Flower were already in the pav, the bats return rather
        tentatively, light drizzle now

       Gayle is going for a change of boots, what are the odds that this
