  1. Postpublished at 48.2 overs

    Scotland 210-7 v Zimbabwe

    Michael Leask should have been run out coming back for two, but Joylord Gumbie cannot take the throw cleanly, and Leask survives.

    Scotland's number seven then top-edges over the keeper for two more...

  2. Postpublished at 48 overs

    Scotland 206-7 v Zimbabwe

    Mark Watt picks up four more from the final ball of the over.

    It's short from Blessing Muzarabani, and Watt slaps it over mid-off to the fence.

  3. 200 runs

    up for Scotlandpublished at 47.1 overs

    Scotland 201-7 v Zimbabwe

    SHOT!

    Michael Leask clears his front leg and smears Blessing Muzarabani over the covers for four.

  4. Postpublished at 47 overs

    Scotland 197-7 v Zimbabwe

    Leask keeps the strike with a single.

    He has 33 from 27 balls - what can he drag his side to?

  5. 6 runs

    Postpublished at 46.4 overs

    Scotland 196-7 v Zimbabwe

    A big full toss from Richard Ngarava, and Michael Leask doesn't miss out, muscling it back over the bowler's head for six.

    That's the first maximum of the game. More of that please Michael...

  6. Postpublished at 46 overs

    Scotland 186-7 v Zimbabwe

    Sean Williams is on to bowl his tenth and final over, darting the ball in and not allowing the batters to get underneath it.

    Some excellent fielding from Zimbabwe keeps Scotland to seven from the over.

    Williams finishes with figures of 3-41.

  7. Postpublished at 45 overs

    Scotland 179-7 v Zimbabwe

    Five singles from Richard Ngarava's latest over - another tight one.

    Five overs left for Scotland to post a competitive total...

  8. wicket

    WICKET Greaves run out Madhevere 1published at 43.1 overs

    Scotland 170-7 v Zimbabwe

    Disaster for Scotland.

    Michael Leask nudges one to point and sets off for a single that probably isn't there.

    Chris Greaves hesitates, and both men are stuck in the middle of the pitch. Greaves sacrifices himself, but shakes his head on his way back to the changing room.

    Mark Watt comes to the crease - he's been in good form with the bat, and Scotland need him to chip in here.

  9. wicket

    WICKET Munsey b Ngarava 31published at 42.3 overs

    Scotland 168-6 v Zimbabwe

    George Munsey goes.

    It's a fast yorker from Richard Ngarava, and Munsey can't get his bat down in time. It hits the pads and rolls back onto the stumps.

    While he's struggled out there, that's a big wicket, because Munsey can strike a long ball.

    Chris Greaves joins Michael Leask for the final push.

  10. Postpublished at 42 overs

    Scotland 166-5 v Zimbabwe

    Michael Leask isn't going to die wondering.

    He picks Blessing Muzarabani's slower ball, and belts it to cow corner for four, before charging down and smashing one through extra cover for four more.

    10 off the over - much more like it!

  11. Postpublished at 41 overs

    Scotland 156-5 v Zimbabwe

    George Munsey is really struggling to time anything on this slow and tired pitch.

    The home fans are having a grand old time of it in the stands.

  12. Postpublished at 40 overs

    Scotland 152-5 v Zimbabwe

    10 overs left in Scotland's innings.

    Can they get up to 220? You feel like they need to.

  13. wicket

    WICKET Mackintosh run out Muzarabani 13published at 39.3 overs

    Scotland 151-5 v Zimbabwe

    He's miles short, and has to drag himself off - it's a horrible way to get out.

    Michael Leask is the new man.

  14. Umpire reviewpublished at 39.2 overs

    Scotland 151-4 v Zimbabwe

    Blessing Muzarabani thinks he's got Tomas Mackintosh run out at the bowler's end, after he flicked a George Munsey drive back onto the stumps.

    Did Mackintosh get his bat back in time?

  15. Postpublished at 39 overs

    Scotland 150-4 v Zimbabwe

    No signs of aggression just yet - George Munsey and Tomas Mackintosh are content to take the singles on offer.

  16. Postpublished at 38 overs

    Scotland 146-4 v Zimbabwe

    Blessing Muzarabani is back into the attack - the first time we've seen seam up bowling in ages.

    The final ball of the over finds the edge of Tomas Mackintosh's bat, but it beats the keeper and goes away for four.

    Five runs from it - batting continues to be tough going on this slow pitch.

  17. Postpublished at 37 overs

    Scotland 141-4 v Zimbabwe

    Scotland continue to accumulate, and take four from Sikandar Raza's over.

    When will they look to go? The last eight overs? The last 10? We'll soon find out.

  18. drinks break

    Drinks breakpublished at 36 overs

    Scotland 137-4 v Zimbabwe

    George Munsey walks across his stumps in order to play that sweep shot, and picks up four more, but his heart will have been in his mouth for a second.

    It was only inches away from being taken by the fielder at deep square leg, but it goes through him to the fence.

    Sean Williams is raging - he thinks that should have been his fourth wicket.

    It's time for a drink in Bulawayo, and time for me to put the kettle on. Might even have a biscuit or two...

  19. Postpublished at 34 overs

    Scotland 127-4 v Zimbabwe

    George Munsey goes to his favoured sweep shot, and a thick bottom edge brings four valuable runs.

  20. Postpublished at 33 overs

    Scotland 121-4 v Zimbabwe

    Sikandar Raza rattles through another over, conceding just three runs.
