2nd ODI: Zimbabwe vs South Africa at Harare Sports Club

South Africa won the toss and elected to field. Currently 2/77 off 22 overs with Ntini and Morkel taking the wickets.

Taibu is on 30 not out and Taylor is on 14.

Taylor and Taibu have both fallen since Jolldo's opening post.

Zimbabwe sit at 4/154 after 36 overs. Taylor fell to Dale Steyn for 44 with Taibu being dismissed earlier for a score of 43. Albie Morkel took the wicket of Taibu.

Zimbabwe determined to make a game of it, perhaps this series is a sign of things to come. That will be a big positive for Zimbabwe cricket.

Reasonable total for Zimbabwe, 7 for 247.

It was good but it was nowhere near enough.

Sean Willimas top scored for Zimbabwe with 54. Staurt Matsikenyeri had a knock of 52.

Dale Steyn was the best South African bowler with 3/65.

In reply, South Africa cruised to 2/251 off just 39.1 overs. The Proteas didn't lose a wicket till the 29th over with Graeme Smith was caught behind for 96. Herchelle Gibbs made a fine century, taking exactly 100 balls for his total of 111. But Gibbs fell late in the innings with only a handful of runs needed. Jean-Paul Duminy then finished things off with 24 not out.

Sean Williams and Prosper Utseya took one wicket each.

A dominant performance by South Africa after a fighting effort from Zimbabwe. They are doing a lot better than everyone expected and even though they trail the series 2-0, they've given the South Africans more trouble than they bargained for.

Man of the Match was Herschelle Gibbs.

The final game of the series is tomorrow at Harare.
