       Panyangara to start proceedings for Zimbabwe
       Yasir Hameed and Bazid Khan are the Pakistan openers
   0.1 Panyangara to Yasir Hameed, OUT: a full ball and just outside off,
        Yasir tries to force it to the onside and gets an outer edge as
        the ball swung away and Taibu snapped him up
