Zimbabwe recover after early loss

HARARE: Zimbabwe managed to crawl to 65 for 2 at lunch on the first day of the second Test match at the Harare Sports Club.

Zimbabwe lost a wicket in the first over of the morning after winning the toss and electing to bat. TMK Mawoyo was caught at the wicket off Junaid Khan with Zimbabwe still not off the mark.

V Sibanda was looking good before he played on to Rahat Ali for 14.

No.3 batsmen H Masakadza started of cautiously but played his shots later on to reach an unbeaten 43 with 6 fours and a maximum, well assisted by skipper Brendon Taylor who seemed to be content with keeping his wicket intact. The 2 have added 34 for the 3rd wicket so far.

Junaid Khan and Rahat Ali have picked a wicket a piece.
