Craig Ervine and Stuart Matsikenyeri have teamed up well for Zimbabwe after they lost three quick wickets up front.

 

Zimbabwe were reeling at 16-3 before the duo joined hands and have brought up Zimbabwe's 50 at the half way mark.

 

Both the batsmen have looked comfortable against the spinner, while once Steyn and Morkel were out of the attack, life seemed a little more comfortable for them.

 

At the end of 10 overs Zimbabwe were 51-3. Matsikenyeri is on 11, while Ervine is on 25.

Morne Morkel strikes again -- this time it's Brendon Taylor, who edged one to AB de Villiers behind the stumps for 4.

 

A poor shot to say the least as Taylor looked to smoke Morkel -- reaching for a wide delivery but only managing to get a bottom edge.

 

Morkel had removed Viso Sibanda for a duck in his previous over.

 

Morkel who had been pushing the batsman on the backfoot, pitched one further up, as the ball nipped back to hit top of offstump.
