Tanaka Chivanga to Pope, out Caught by Tafadzwa Tsiga!! A loose drive and Pope has edged it to the keeper, but he ain't sure, has a chat with his partner and opts to review. There was a noise and there was a deflection for sure, we'll have to see the replays, the ball is very close to the bat and UltraEdge sports a big spike when the ball is next to the bat, the decision stays and Pope is OUT. On a length and shaping away from outside off, draws Pope into the loose drive and Tafadzwa Tsiga easily pouches the edge. Excellent start to the day's play by the visitors.
