4:07pm 43 overs - that was how long this innings lasted. Zimbabwe had a mountain to climb before they even faced a ball, and that has only gotten steeper. Williams, who raced away to an unbeaten 83 off 55 balls, was the lone bright spark, with the others not really covering themselves in glory. They will have a shot at it again in a few minutes' time, although the improvement will have to be drastic and prompt.

South Africa, meanwhile, will be thrilled with how their bowlers bowled. Subrayen, on debut, bagged four and used whatever help was on offer. Yusuf and Bosch had set the tone earlier, with two wickets in two overs right at the start. The others, including Mulder and Muthusamy also chipped in and now that South Africa have enforced the follow-on, they will be fancying their chances of going for the jugular. Join us in a bit for Zimbabwe's second innings.

Subrayen to Chivanga, OUT, oh dear - that is a soft, soft dismissal, and Williams is left stranded on 83! This is given some air again, on a fullish length outside off. Chivanga wants to punch this down the ground but does not get on top of the bounce entirely. Pops it straight to Maphaka at short mid on, and that will be that for the Zimbabwean innings!

Subrayen to Chivanga, SIX, oh, hello! Fired in again, on a length outside off. Chivanga gets down on one knee early and clatters it over deep backward square leg. What you can do, I can do as well, says Chivanga!

Subrayen to Williams, no run, hung up on a length wide outside off. Williams has a wild swipe across the line and misses. Plenty of turn and bounce

Hello again, everyone. Williams ploughing his way through to a century. But can he get there? This may seem a little sub-plot in the grander scheme of things but it is a sub-plot nonetheless. Subrayen to continue from around the wicket
