OUT! STUMPED! Easy as you like! First Test wicket for Dewald Brevis and it's all over for Zimbabwe! Brevis spots Tanaka charging down the track and pushes it down the leg side, on the shorter side. Chivanga fails to get any bat on it as he looks to help it away. The keeper, Kyle Verreynne moves to his left swiftly and gathers it cleanly. Tanaka turns around and tries to plonk his bat inside the crease but Kyle is quick enough in taking the bails off.
