Day 2: After a superb bowling performance on a much more sporty deck, it is Zimbabwe who hold the edge in this second Test at Bulawayo. They bowled out Afghanistan for 157, as none of the centurions from the first Test could get going for the visitors. Then, Ben Curran and Joylord Gumbie braved out three overs in the fading light to ensure they had all their wickets intact. We are expected to have an early start today to compensate for the loss of overs from yesterday, so play should begin at 9:30 AM Local Time. We could have a few rain delays today as well, but let’s hope for maximum play. Stick around…
18:24 Local Time, 16:24 GMT, 21:54 IST:

Rashid Khan to Gumbie, no run, googly, Gumbie didn't read it and was praying that it finished down leg. Made no attempt to play a shot at that one
2.5
Rashid Khan to Gumbie, no run
2.4
Rashid Khan to Ben Curran, 1 run, slides on with the arm outside off, cut to the left of backward point and the batters embark on a risky single. Direct hit and Gumbie was in trouble

Rashid Khan to Ben Curran, no run, fuller onto middle, was the leg break. Once again a leading edge for Curran, this time towards point
