04:05pm: De Zorzi and Breetzke run off the field to get ready to open the batting in South Africa's second innings. They will have 20 overs to bat out this evening, with that lead of 167 to start with. Zimbabwe have Williams to thank, with his 137 accounting for way more than half their first innings runs. Once his partnership with Ervine was broken in the second session by Maharaj, Williams didn't get much support, until he too, like Ervine was stumped off the bowling of the South African skipper. Zimbabwe are well behind in this game as it stands, but they will want to make a start similar to the one they made in the first innings, to give themselves a sniff of a famous fourth innings chase. I'll be back in a bit with the South African second innings.

Maharaj to Chivanga, OUT, And, that will be that! An almighty swipe from Chivanga, he gets a top edge, and Maphaka tracks back at mid-on to take a straightforward catch. Maharaj raises a hand in apology to Mulder for denying him the chance of a five-fer, but the skipper won't be complaining about finishing this Zimbabwe innings off.

Thanks, Himanshu. Hello everyone. How much more can Masakesa add to this total alongside Chivanga?

Mulder to Muzarabani, OUT, bowled him! The off stump is flattened! Mulder bowled this quick and on a good length on off. The ball was angled in, and it straightened after pitching. Muzarabani's front leg was around middle and leg, as he looked to poke at this from middle stump. But he was beaten on the outside edge, as the ball thudded into the stump. Mulder has his fourth

Mulder to Muzarabani, no run, on a length, and just outside off. Muzarabani tucks at this towards mid-off

Farai Leboho: "With Williams gone, I suppose a good ol' 20/30 runs for Zim would not be a bad situation."

Mulder to Masekesa, 1 run, he ducks at this short delivery around off, and even takes his eyes off before pulling towards the man at fine leg
