Chivanga до K Maphaka

Six runs. SIX! Tanaka Chivanga to Kwena Maphaka. Back of a length, wide outside off stump on the back foot pulling, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. That's stumps on Day 1. South Africa finished the day at 418 runs with one wicket in hand. The day undoubtedly belonged to young Lhuan-dre Pretorius, who played a masterful innings with 153 runs off just 160 balls. Supporting him late in the day was Corbin Bosch, who remains unbeaten on a well-constructed century. He will resume alongside Kwena Maphaka at the crease. Despite the imposing total, credit must go to Zimbabwe's bowlers, who toiled hard throughout the day. Their disciplined lines and consistent lengths kept the pressure on, and they were rewarded with timely breakthroughs. They'll be eager to wrap up the innings early tomorrow morning and shift momentum in their favour. Join us tomorrow for Day 2 live action.
