be another fine day of Test cricket
Welcome to Harare for day four of the first test between Zimbabwe

Once again there is a delay in the start, no balls under the

change rooms
With hardly any rain about to clear the rain it is difficult to say
when play will get under way
Match State: Delay - Day 4 - Rain
With hardly any wind to clear the rain away, it is difficult to say
