OUT! CAUGHT AT SLIPS! Blessing Muzarabani grabs his second wicket. It is short and wide outside off. Rahmat Shah feels for it and hangs his blade away from his body. The ball takes the outside edge and goes towards second slips. Craig Ervine there keeps his eyes on the ball and gathers the catch sharply. Delight for Zimbabwe. This has been a great fightback from the hosts so far. Najibullah Zadran is the new man in.

Till the time he is getting his treatment, the others take a drinks break. Zimbabwe put up a great fight with the ball and had Afghanistan under the pump. Although the visiting side have got their noses in front thanks to this stand between Shahidi and Nabi. They would hope these two batters are able to see them over the line.
