Trevor Gwandu to Michael Bracewell. Off cutter length ball, wide outside off stump down the track Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long on for 2 runs, mis-fielded by Burl, shy attempt by Munyonga. New Zealand posted a defendable total, recovering well after losing Tim Robinson early in the third over. Tim Seifert and Rachin Ravindra shared a solid 108-run partnership, both scoring fifties, before being dismissed. However, Zimbabwe bowlers, led by Richard Ngarava's four wickets, kept up the pressure, picking up wickets at regular intervals and pushing New Zealand onto the back foot. Michael Bracewell's quick-fire 26 helped stabilise the innings, setting a challenging target for Zimbabwe. Join us for the run chase in a few minutes.
