Irish eyes on extending lead in one-off Zimbabwe Test

Ireland opened up a 76-run lead with nine wickets in hand after the second day of the one-off cricket Test against Zimbabwe.

The tourists, who were dismissed for 260 in their first innings, were 1-83 in their second innings at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo on Friday (Saturday AEDT).

Captain Andy Balbirnie will resume the third morning on 32, with Curtis Campher on 14.

Peter Moor was the only wicket to fall in Ireland’s second innings, dismissed for 30.

Zimbabwe took a slender first-innings advantage of seven runs as debutant Nick Welch top-scored with 90.

However, Welch found little support from his teammates as the home side lost wickets at regular intervals and were bowled out for 267.

Blessing Muzarabani followed up his career-best figures of 7-58 with the ball with his top Test score of 47 batting at No.10 to boost Zimbabwe’s total.

Barry McCarthy (4-75) and Andy McBrine (3-59) were the pick of the Ireland bowlers.
