3:26 pm Ireland lost their captain, Stirling, in the opening over of the innings. Raza dropped Tucker's catch in the second inning, and it came back to bother them later, as Tucker scored 46 runs. It was costly, as Ireland controlled the Power play, relieving all of the pressure. They hit a couple of boundaries and rotated their strikes as the ball became old and the surface became more batting-friendly. Raza came on to bowl in the eighth over and broke the partnership, taking Tector's wicket after he scored 28 runs off 20 balls. After Tector lost his wicket, the boundaries dried up. Tucker tried to pick up the pace, but he holed out at deep fine leg after playing the pull shot in Gwandu's over. Following the wicket of Tucker, after a ball, the rain intensified and the umpires called the grounds staff for the covers. There was a rain interruption for around 20 minutes. Only three Irish batters reached double figures with the bat today; the remainder struggled to bat on this pitch. Zimbabwe bowled brilliantly in the middle overs to keep the runs at bay. The bowlers excelled at varying their deliveries, particularly the slower ones. Gwandu picked up three wickets, while Raza and Ngarava each took two. After a short break, join us for the second innings.
