Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan (Zimbabwe National Cricket Team vs Afghanistan National Cricket Team) 2nd Test Day 2 LIVE:
Veteran Sikandar Raza and teenager Newman Nyamhuri took three wickets each as Zimbabwe bowled out Afghanistan for 157 on Thursday on the first day of the second Test in Bulawayo.
Zimbabwe were 6-0 in reply at stumps after the start of play was delayed four hours due to a wet outfield at Queens Sports Club in the southern city.
Earlier, the weather caused nearly a four-hour delay at the start of the second Test between Zimbabwe and Afghanistan in Bulawayo. Once the conditions improved, Zimbabwe captain Craig Ervine won the toss and chose to bowl, citing the favourable overhead conditions and the pitch’s preparation under covers.
