BBC Test Match Special commentatorTristan Stubbs made a bit of a dog's dinner of that. That should have been stopped.
Zim 36-4published at 5.3 overs
Keshav Maharaj drops it in short and Milton Shumba sweeps to the boundary where Tristan Stubbs lets the ball slip through his hands and away for four.
The perils of a wet outfield.
Zim 31-4published at 5 overs
Milton Shumba pushes the ball into the off side to end the over with a single.
That's Lungi Ngidi bowled out. Time for a bit of spin from Keshav Maharaj.

Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialThat was a seed from Lungi Ngidi. He squared him up and he just did him for pace.
Zim 29-4published at 4.3 overs
Milton Shumba is counting his blessings as he attempts a huge heave and the ball slices fine down through third man for four.
That's a good response from Lungi Ngidi, his next delivery goes right through Shumba.

BBC Test Match SpecialThat was a terrific piece of fielding by Aiden Markram. I think if he'd hit he would have been out at the non-striker's end.
Zim 25-4published at 4.2 overs
That's brilliant fielding from Aiden Markram at backward point as he dives to save a certain four. His throw is not far away from clattering into the stumps either.

Alex Hartley
Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialYou know what I think Zimbabwe have done wrong today? They have batted like they had nine balls to bat, not nine overs. You still have to give yourself some time. It has been so chaotic.
Zim 23-4published at 4.1 overs
That's more like it. Wesley Madhevere drives Lungi Ngidi through the covers for four.

BBC Test Match SpecialIt has pretty much been a woeful catalogue of errors by Zimbabwe so far today.
Zim 19-4published at 4 overs
Aside from the calamitous wickets there have been 16 dots balls so far this innings.
Wayne Parnell ends with figures of 1-6 from his two overs.

Former Australia spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialWe have seen some of the worse running in cricket today. The Netherlands' running earlier was woeful and that wasn't good either.
They both had the time to turn around there. What is going on?

BBC Test Match SpecialThat was a wonderful pick-up and throw from David Miller. The batters collided in the middle of the pitch then.
WICKETpublished at 3.4 overs
Williams run out (Miller) 1 (Zim 19-4)
Calamity!
Wesley Madhevere pushes it straight to David Miller at cover and immediately sets off for the run.
Miller's throw is on the money and Sean Williams is run out by a distance.

BBC Test Match SpecialThat was a shot of some authority. He didn't get it all but there was enough muscle and power on it to get it to the boundary.
Zim 19-3published at 3.2 overs
Wesley Madhevere and Sean Williams are the new batters - and they need to get on with it.
Shots like that will help.
Madhevere is a touch quick onto a short ball from Wayne Parnell but is has enough on it reach the boundary for four.

Former Australia spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialThat was an excellent over in the end from Lungi Ngidi. He started with an absolute pie but then he took 2-2 from his next five balls. He came back well.
Zim 14-3published at 3 overs
We have just seen a shot of some Zimbabwe fans and they do not look impressed. They didn't wait around for hours in the cold and rain for this.

Former Australia spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialThere has been plenty happening. Lungi Ngidi just crashed the ball into the pitch again and it was too quick for Sikandar Raza.
Zimbabwe are in big trouble.
