Complete Afghanistan won by 72 runs

Afghanistan (Playing XI): Abdul Malik, Rahmat Shah, Hashmatullah Shahidi(c), Afsar Zazai(w), Rashid Khan, Shahidullah Kamal, Zia-ur-Rehman, Fareed Ahmad Malik, Yamin Ahmadzai, Riaz Hassan, Ismat Alam
Pitch report by Ed Rainsford: We have moved away from pitch number 3 and now on to pitch number 6. Lots of rain coming into this game. The pitch looks firm and lots of grass on offer, the outfield is soggy so you won't get value for shots. If I rub my hands on the pitch, look at how much grass there is. I am thinking I probably want to bowl first.
Hashmatullah Shahidi: It looks a little bit spicy, hopefully first hour we play really well and end of the day also we bat really well. We just had two days, all of the guys have rested really well and hopefully we will do well. We have five changes, it's a tough one, you will see it later.
Zimbabwe (Playing XI): Joylord Gumbie(w), Ben Curran, Takudzwanashe Kaitano, Sean Williams, Sikandar Raza, Dion Myers, Craig Ervine(c), Brian Bennett, Newman Nyamhuri, Richard Ngarava, Blessing Muzarabani

Craig Ervine: We are gonna have a bowl. Overhead conditions are still good, wicket has been under covers for a long time, hopefully we can utilise the conditions. Our first innings was really good, pressure goes up as the game goes on. Batting-wise we were good, bowling-wise a few more strategies but I thought we did really well in the first Test. Little bit more moisture and a little bit more green cover on this. Two changes for us - Mavuta and Gwandu are out, Raza and Ngarava are in.
