A Flower 13* (34b 1x4)
The alloted overs have neded and thats it for the day, after some
good resistance by Grant Flower and skipper Cambell, the Zimbabwe
batting gave way to be five down at the end fo day 3 and still 54
behind
Cambells innings was the feature of the day but then we saw a dull
Shoaib come to life to give a torrid time to the batsmen and
almost bullying Grant Flower to give in and then Sami and Saqlain
picked up two more
It again seems Andy Flower coming in at five will be left stranded
tomorrow and really needs to be sent in earlier
The Pakistan bowling was tight throughout although Campbell showed
his return to form by hiiting some fine drives
Saqlain is doing fie but the early lead from the front by Waqar
must have gotten his team the motivation to get off some
complacency and come back to bowl and field well
Play will start on time tomorrow at 08:00GMT and we hope you will
be here to see how Zimbabwe plan to defend and battle Pakistan but
there are 2 days to go
Its goodbye from CricInfo
Match State: Stumps - Day 3

the other end is far less worn
