8.05pm Not 200 but what a carnage from Nabi and Najibullah. Last five overs produced 88 runs, including a sequence of seven successive sixes, split across two overs. Nabi was dismissed off the last ball of the innings for an 18-ball 38, studded with four sixes. Najibullah remained unbeaten on 69 off just 30 with five fours and six sixes. With the pitch assisting spinners, this will be a stiff stiff chase for Zimbabwe. We will be back in a bit. Stay tuned.
