00:00You've got to pick out Chivanga. He was very, very disciplined,
00:02balled very well, got four.
00:04This will be the best way to leave, because then they get your hands out of the way.
00:08Madhana Gopala, Madhana Gopala, the two empires on the box.
00:13It comes out as a surprise, or no, that it lasts more.
00:16To back and get through this difficult period.
00:18Again, it's all about reading.
00:20Two openers are out there for Zimbabwe, Brian Bennett.
00:24Four fifers in 34 games, and he'll have the...
00:29That's the corridor.
00:33Movement straight away.
00:38And is impressed to be able to come.
00:42Zimbabwe works it around, pass point for a boundary, so they open the...
00:46Brian Bennett behind square through the offside.
00:49He's got good hands as well.
00:53Favors a lot.
00:54Now they can perhaps block it off.
00:56Go, go, go, go, go, go.
01:01They'll be dancing aside, and the opposition has...
01:05Slightly up edge, has it gone...
01:09To square leg and the first wicket for Yusuf.
01:13Just a chip through to mid-wicket.
01:16Tony De Zorket with his first wicket.
01:25Can I get next down, please?
01:28Slightly.
01:30It is, as I said, will test the batters.
01:32Yeah, that's the one.
01:36Tempted to just, uh...
01:37One.
01:37Are you doing what?
01:41Ready.
01:41Caetano gone.
01:43That is to come, Williams, Irvin, that's, uh...
01:45Dropers, he'll be runs here, has a big boundary.
01:51Well, still...
01:52The ball, bit of a loose now.
01:53Long.
01:54Looking to swing the ball.
01:56Didn't quite hit the surface there.
01:57It was just...
01:58Oh.
01:59Now, I put on my park up.
02:02Quite an emotional thing.
02:03I got a bit choked up.
02:04I couldn't quite get my...
02:05I know what it means to have gone to England.
02:09I've not played a lot of cricket against England in test matches, but to go over to England and play...
02:13Drive there, another boundary.
02:17That's the area they've chosen against.
02:20Balling a little too full.
02:21This time he pulled the length back.
02:23And he's...
02:24Really full.
02:25And he has put away.
02:27And played such a convincing shot off the back foot.
02:30Shot of the morning for...
02:32You talk about opportunities and you mention about Ryan Ben...
02:36I can think of a few back home.
02:39There was a window that opened up in the opening slot against New Zealand.
02:42Yeah, I know.
02:48The window opens up and then you take the opportunity to grab it with both.
02:51Adam Gilchrist.
02:52He would bat open and wide ball and then red ball you go.
02:55Green Sports Club.
03:00Oh, yes.
03:01Oh, yes.
03:02He's out of his work, so...
03:04It's just about patience.
03:06How much can you let that...
03:07Distraught for Welsh.
03:09Relation for Sunnet.
03:11But it's the length that then is bold to a Nick Welch.
03:15He's at wide and he thinks it's time to score.
03:17But then it's his undoing.
03:23Well, we're 23 for two.
03:25They've just lost Welch.
03:26And Yusuf has two already.
03:30Sean Williams, that after this...
03:32In a career that has probably been how long?
03:40Again, starved of strike.
03:42See something he can score to Kyle Verena.
03:44Yusuf has two.
03:53Yeah.
03:55Yes, there's movement on offer.
03:57But do you see the feet?
03:58It's all...
03:59There you go.
03:59No way.
04:00Look at all the hands.
04:01But in fact...
04:01He's in Bennett at the crease.
04:04Bennett, 19 off, 19.
04:06Seven.
04:08Oh.
04:09But anything that is coming...
04:11But that's the area that's been testing him.
04:14If you notice...
04:15You forward...
04:16And you can't sort of hang back.
04:18And so he's...
04:19On the surface.
04:20Oh, nice.
04:22Will miss, but I'm not...
04:23Back of the length.
04:24And then maybe just pushing one...
04:25Across the right hand.
04:27Yeah, feet weren't moving.
04:30You can see how deep...
04:31Drop kick.
04:34And what would Yusuf be thinking?
04:36What would he ball him at?
04:37Now, this is the delivery he's facing.
04:47He's...
04:47Struggled a little bit for rhythm.
04:50And, um, I think...
04:51That's nice and bold.
04:54It's a fortunate edge.
04:55It's a good line at Sean Williams.
04:58It's just this one and another.
05:01And, uh, he just finds the outside edge.
05:03A bit of ongoing after that delivery.
05:04Bennett is making his way off the ground.
05:07A bit of a migraine or blurry eye vision
05:09after being struck on the head, but...
05:11He's found a little bit of extra pace.
05:14And, uh...
05:16Cut!
05:17There's another waft outside the off-stump.
05:19And you can see no foot movement.
05:20Just a waft of the bat.
05:22And South Africa will be...
05:23Oh, he was off to that one.
05:35So I found a little bit of extra pace.
05:39Oh!
05:40Oh, that one didn't bounce anywhere near
05:41and he just controlled it around the corner.
05:43Yeah.
05:49Sean Williams has controlled this.
05:52And, uh...
05:53Yeah, what will the follow-up be from?
05:58I'm sliding down, I fear.
06:01But, uh, nothing really going for it.
06:03Eight completed.
06:0433.
06:05Just the two boulders used by South Africa so far.
06:14Let's work that away, Lex.
06:16So important that, uh, Irvin and Williams...
06:20...it's a good one.
06:22I should come trying to run away on the left side.
06:24I think it's Nick Walsh to get his feet in the right place.
06:27Yeah, I like that.
06:29It's a really good leave.
06:31Be effective on the surface because
06:32if you look to ride the bounce,
06:34you can often get yourself...
06:35That's nasty, Bob.
06:38That's the perfect length.
06:39Be committed and then late movement.
06:41That's quality from...
06:42Does that take the inside edge?
06:47No, review it.
06:47...and I'm not giving it out.
06:49End of the ninth.
06:56Nasty play.
06:57There was a chance.
06:58Brevis is at that backward point,
06:59but that one was nasty controlled.
07:01Went like a tracer's a little more.
07:02In fact, it really gives it a crack
07:05of that man at point.
07:08Except a second boundary this morning.
07:14Thought about a single
07:15and then said no.
07:17Oh, goes off.
07:21Gabby, full shot.
07:23Didn't bounce as much.
07:24You might have even heard it again.
07:27Then he just goes really shaping
07:29to smash this one.
07:30Just helped that.
07:31No, there's a big gap
07:33just behind Square on the leg side.
07:36Puck has been a little bit expensive.
07:384.4, a bit more control.
07:41Dawsey, who was that short leg,
07:42I saw for that last shot.
07:44He's been pushed.
07:47Williams.
07:51That's a really good one.
07:52That one stands up steep.
07:54I think Williams might be one of those ones
07:55who looks to start.
07:57Kind of angle now.
07:59And I'd be thinking about trying to tuck him up.
08:01But Taurus was special yesterday.
08:02On debut,
08:03he was the early on in your career.
08:06So the youngest.
08:10Oh, that's very good.
08:12That's why I like it.
08:13He's hinting like he wants to shape it in
08:15at the left hand.
08:16As it comes out the hand,
08:17you think,
08:17I've got to play at it.
08:18And then there's some.
08:20He's got to be happy
08:21with his first five and a bit.
08:25We're used to sort of it crumbling
08:27during this time of the year,
08:28being very...
08:29He should offer some good line lengthen.
08:41There's different contributions
08:42and different people standing up
08:43and getting some big scores.
08:45And he needs to get to 4-1-8.
08:48That's a good delivery
08:49for hard runs.
08:51Like when you're
08:52at the wall
08:53and you have to come up
08:54with some sort of
08:55big runs
08:56when your team's well in front.
09:00It's been good for Mulder.
09:02Played and prepared
09:03for the World Test Championship
09:04and the first...
09:08Slides down.
09:09Single to end the over.
09:10So that's Zimbabwe.
09:11Now 46 for two.
09:13And that's a bit of a free
09:20warm-up delivery
09:20and Irwin says,
09:22thank you very much.
09:23I'll cash in on a banner.
09:24Bob, Bob.
09:28Just as he arrived at the crease,
09:29this is the first
09:30really aggressive shock we've seen.
09:34Yeah, I think they would've been
09:35queuing up to...
09:36Zadabadi was good,
09:38but it was the spin...
09:40I saw what happened
09:40in the first 10.
09:41Walsh finds a bit of...
09:44Okay.
09:46He ends with a bit of delivery.
09:47So here's a little bit of a refreshment.
09:49I'm in total agreement.
09:59Sean Williams...
10:00The summer coming into the winter.
10:02All right.
10:02Week 10.
10:03We'll be back with that.
10:08Good evening, guys.
10:09Good evening, fellas.
10:09Good evening, fellas.
10:12Come on.
10:15Oh, Koshi.
10:16Yeah, that's the one that...
10:18Go for it.
10:21It's a very inviting length,
10:23In that situation where you are thinking, should I go?
10:31Comes in and he just comes across as a medium pacer.
10:35Some of them.
10:41Yeah, that's the one where he plays it all along the ground.
10:46Because the angle of the bowling at the moment, surely a lot of discipline there.
10:53Yeah, and what this does.
11:02Run.
11:05He can come back for three.
11:07Third run.
11:08And that's what they've done.
11:13Yeah, that's nicely played by Sean Williams.
11:21It's just about the rotation of strike.
11:22Now, in that previous over, Williams has taken a single off that first ball.
11:26Look at Pretorius.
11:28151 a bit.
11:33You just need a push like that.
11:35A single.
11:35That's better.
11:47Thoughts about the two.
11:50Sekanda.
11:50Right, Sonny Day.
12:00It's cut away.
12:02Moving across the left-hander.
12:06Pretorius at that very square point.
12:08This time.
12:09This time.
12:18Experience.
12:21Right on top of the bounce.
12:22This partnership now.
12:24Williams.
12:28Yeah, nicely played.
12:29Not the shortest in the off-stump, but just gave himself enough width, did Williams.
12:36Big partnership for Zimbabwe.
12:37This thing.
12:40Again.
12:41Plays it nicely, though, Sean Williams.
12:42Get rid of one of the slips.
12:45It's just the one slip.
