Post Raza's wicket, the passage of play has been quite bland, with Zimbabwe batters not trying to hit the bowlers out of the park. Pakistan, too, called up their spinners to bowl, with the track offering ample support to the spin bowling. Sean Williams and Brian Bennett will have to bat out of their skin if they want to post anything above 200.
