- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR20.3 he wants to loft it inside out again but can't, he's given a simple catch to backward point! He made room, seeing the ball with flight outside off and drove in an attempt to put it away with the turn but a leading edge hands an easy peasy catch to Brendan Taylor. that's a big wicket to be Nyumbu's first in ODIs 109/142.2 that's gone very very high and Faf's gone! Utseya sent in a flatter delivery and Faf went for a big shot on the leg side but mistimed it and the skier was taken well by Sibanda around mid-off as he came running from cover 232/246.6 can't get it all the way this time, he's holed out to deep midwicket. It was fullish again and he went for a slog, got bat on it but it wasn't enough to clear the fielder in the deep. but he did his work 275/3Extras22 (lb 6, w 16)TOTAL309/3 (50 Overs, RR: 6.18)Fall of wickets: 1-109 (Quinton de Kock, 20.3 ov), 2-232 (Faf du Plessis, 42.2 ov), 3-275 (AB de Villiers, 46.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.4 caught behind, gets the outside edge! Parnell bowled this teasing line and length outside off with the away angle and Sibanda opened the face of the bat towards square on off which only edged it to QDK who took a low catch 16/18.5 caught behind again, this time off a hook. McLaren banged in another short ball which was coming in towards the batsman, who stayed back in the crease and an edge went off the horizontal bat to de Kock for an easy catch 27/227.6 oh he's gone just when people had started talking about the threatening stand! Parnell pitched it short and way outside off, and Masakadza cut it straight under du Plessis' throat for a catch. He didn't have to move an inch 134/411.1 taken in the deep! Taylor came down and in an attempt to chip it over cover, he gave it too much height and power, which kept the ball in the air for a while and Miller ran in and to his left a long way towards wide long-off for a good catch 34/329.6 he will be so disappointed with that! It was short and wide, he cut it as his eyes must have lit up but it went in the air and it was taken easily by du Plessis at point 143/549.5 it's all over on the penultimate ball! Chigumbura, after a patient innings, lofts it as if he is giving catch practice after it pitched on length on the stumps for an easy catch to mid-on 216/1040.1 Tahir is back and how! It was a straight delivery that pitched on off and middle, and was going straight as Jongwe tried to sweep and was hit right in front on the pad 185/642.1 that's a very well judged catch at long-on! Tahir tossed it up outside off and Madziva sent it high in the sky, trying a six, but didn't get all the distance and Duminy stood just centimeters inside the long-on rope to pouch this over his head 189/744.4 another one trapped! Phangiso pitched it up a little this time on off stump and Masakadza looked to sweep but missed it completely and was caught right in front. Easy decision for the umpire 198/848.2 goes back to cut the short ball on the off side but he makes a mess of it, misses it completely and his off stump is knocked over.

South Africa tour of Zimbabwe 2014 News
Was dropping Brendan Taylor warranted?
While Zimbabwe coach Stephen Mangongo's uncompromising approach that will keep people on their toes is something to be lauded, the question remains, does Brendan Taylor's recent run of form justify him being left out of the eleven?
