Secured his exuberant running two runs each in the next four deliveries, and left him six off the last ball to get. Sohail Khan had the courage and bowled low, throw out the whole vast off-stump. Taibu was returning to the side leg and not even able to play a shot. He led an anti-climatic end of the hunt that Zimbabwe is too big to let, when it should have.

Asad Shafiq Chibhabha blow when he tried to throw a long ball for six years but was caught by Chigumbura at long on.

Two balls later, Ramee Raja was caught in the leg rather short.
