Abid Ali fifty propels Pakistan reply to Zimbabwe s 176 ESPNCricInfo 30 Apr 2021, 04:43 GMT+10 Stumps Pakistan 103 for 0 (Abid 56 , Butt 43 ) trail Zimbabwe 176 (Kaia 48, Afridi 4-43, Hasan 4-53) by 73 runs Zimbabwe may have controlled whether or not to bat after Brendan Taylor called correctly at the toss, but little else was in their control all day. A collapse of the top order left them battling against the tide from the outset, and four wickets apiece for Shaheen Afridi - who reached 50 Test wickets today - and Hasan Ali skittled the hosts out for 176. To hammer home Pakistan s advantage, their openers, Abid Ali and Imran Butt - both out of form for quite some time - remained unbeaten through the third session, bringing up a century partnership, finishing the opening day of the first Test just 73 runs behind Zimbabwe with all ten wickets still intact.
