    Zimbabwe 181-7 (target 235)

    McMullen is able to complete the over, and although Richard Ngarava doesn't look entirely comfortable, he survives.

    It will be Michael Leask at the other end, looking to turn it away from the two left-handers.

  2. ouch!

    Zimbabwe 177-7 (target 235)

    Brandon McMullen has gone over on his ankle, drops to his haunches and winces.

    The physio comes out to give him some treatment - it would be a massive blow to Scotland if he is badly injured.

  3. wicket

    WICKET Masakadza c Berrington b McMullen 5published at 35.1 overs

    Zimbabwe 177-7 (target 235)

    Scotland continue to chip away! They need three more for a remarkable victory!

    Wellington Masakadza looks to work to leg, but can only get a leading edge to Richie Berrington at cover.

    It's the simplest of catches for the Scotland captain, and Brandon McMullen has his second wicket of the game.

  4. Postpublished at 35 overs

    Zimbabwe 177-6 (target 235)

    Another over ticks by.

    Zimbabwe need 58 from 90 balls.

  5. Umpire reviewpublished at 33.3 overs

    Zimbabwe 174-6 (target 235)

    Ryan Burl tries to hurry for for a second run.

    The umpires send it upstairs, and a second look shows that he is just home.

    You wouldn't bet against a run out as the tension grows.

  6. Postpublished at 33 overs

    Zimbabwe 172-6 (target 235)

    Ryan Burl and Wellington Masakadza nurdle the spin for a few more runs, so Richie Berrington throws the ball to Brandon McMullen.

    What have you got, Brandon?

  7. Postpublished at 32 overs

    Zimbabwe 169-6 (target 235)

    Three off the Leask over.

    This has been a seriously good game, and it's all set up for a thrilling finish.

  8. Postpublished at 31 overs

    Zimbabwe 166-6 (target 235)

    Wellington Masakadza plays out the rest of Watt's over defensively.

    Michael Leask to bowl from the other end.

  9. Postpublished at 30.1 overs

    Zimbabwe 164-6 (target 235)

    Mark Watt signalled for the crowd, for everyone in fact, to calm down after that wicket.

    I'm not sure I can, Mark!

  10. wicket

    WICKET Madhevere lbw b Watt 40published at 30.1 overs

    Zimbabwe 164-6 (target 235)

    Three reds - hitting the top of middle and off, and Wessly Madhevere has to go!

    It's a beautiful delivery from Mark Watt, getting one to straighten and beat the outside edge.

    Another twist in this remarkable game.

  11. Umpire reviewpublished at 30.1 overs

    Zimbabwe 164-6 (target 235)

    Wessly Madhevere has been given out lbw on the field, and it looks very, very out.

    Madhevere sends it upstairs...

  12. Postpublished at 29 overs

    Zimbabwe 157-5 (target 235)

    Scotland cannot stop the flow of runs at the moment, and they need to quickly.

    Wessly Madhevere takes Chris Sole for successive boundaries, and 11 runs come from that over.

    Scotland need a wicket, big time...

  13. Postpublished at 27 overs

    Zimbabwe 140-5 (target 235)

    Two runs from the first over of Chris Sole's second spell.

    Zimbabwe need 95 from 138 balls.

  14. Postpublished at 26 overs

    Zimbabwe 138-5 (target 235)

    Chris Sole is back into the attack, as Scotland seek this vital sixth wicket.

    He currently has 3-20 from his five overs

  15. 50 runs

    for Ryan Burlpublished at 25.5 overs

    Zimbabwe 138-5 (target 235)

    Two into the leg-side brings up Ryan Burl's half-century from 53 balls.

    He holds the key for Zimbabwe...

  16. 6 runs

    Postpublished at 24 overs

    Zimbabwe 129-5 (target 235)

    Wessly Madhevere latches onto a short ball from Chris Greaves and pulls it powerfully for six.

    Greaves took the vital wicket of Sikandar Raza but is leaking runs - does Richie Berrington stick with his leggie, or make a change?

  17. Postpublished at 23 overs

    Zimbabwe 121-5 (target 235)

    Seven from Leask's first over, largely thanks to a thick edge that beat short third man and went to the fence.

  18. Postpublished at 22 overs

    Zimbabwe 114-5 (target 235)

    Chris Greaves bowls a filthy full toss that Wessly Madhevere smashes to the boundary.

    Michael Leask replaces Mark Watt at the other end.

    up for Zimbabwepublished at 21 overs

    Zimbabwe 107-5 (target 235)

    Mark Watt thinks he's snared Ryan Burl, but the miscued slog-sweep lands just short of the fielder in the deep.

    One more wicket and Scotland are into the bowlers...

  20. Postpublished at 19 overs

    Zimbabwe 96-5 (target 235)

    Mark Watt rattles through his latest over, and suddenly Zimbabwe are back on the back foot.

    How quickly a game can change...
