5:15pm What a day for Ireland. They are just seven wickets away from taking the one-off Test against Zimbabwe. On a surface that does not have any demons on it, they have done really well - first to pile on the runs with fifties from Balbirnie and Tucker - and then have used the new ball well to nip out the Zimbabwean top order. Adair and McCarthy used the little movement in the air and off the surface to set up the openers and take them out before Humphreys undid Welch, who looked to be ultra-aggressive. Bennett is also looking quite streaky and Zimbabwe will need to channel a lot of calm if they are to resist Ireland tomorrow. Will day four be the last of this Test? We shall find out tomorrow. Do join us at 9:30am local time for the build-up. On behalf of Harshith and Ekanth, with hope that you'll join us tomorrow, this is Sudarshanan bidding you goodbye for now
