8.47pm  Well, Afghanistan were too eager for a wicket and in the process were not able to bowl two consecutive good deliveries. They were just not able to build pressure and in return gave plenty of freebies to the hosts. Hashmatullah Shahidi shuffled his bowling option, mainly going with spinners but didn't get much success in return. Afghanistan looked tired eventually. They'll hope the new day will bring some energy as Afghanistan could take this score well over 500 if they don't take wickets. Join us for the action of Day 2 at 8 am GMT. Till then, cheers!

8.41pm  Well, the light meter is out and the umpire thinks the light is not good enough to play. The players are walking off. Could possibly be STUMPS as well..Yes! End of day's play! A fantastic day for the hosts! They have started really well in the series. Zimbabwe opted to bat first on a sunny Boxing Day morning. Ben Curran was at the thick of action as on his debut he took the attack and scored a fine fifty. He fell in the final over before Lunch but Zimbabwe stitch another big partnership with Takudzwanashe Kaitano and Sean Williams. The former fell but Williams is still going strong, unbeaten on 145. He along with the skipper have bossed the final session and have taken the upper hand in this game on Day 1.
