Scorecard
Pakistan A ended the third day on 203 for 6, gaining a huge lead of 314, against Zimbabwe A at Harare. After dismissing the Zimbabweans for 200, the Pakistanis’ second innings wasn’t that impressive, with most of their their top-order batsmen failing to capitalise on starts. Zulqarnain Haider, who made a gritty 43 in the first innings, was promoted to open the batting but he fell for only 25 this time around.Faisal Athar and Misbah-ul-Haq were also dismissed after promising starts and it was left to Hasan Raza, who made a century in the first innings, and Mansoor Amjad, the 19-year-old legspinner, to revive the innings. Amjad impressed with his allround skills and top-scored with 54.Earlier in the day, the Zimbabweans managed to add just 36 to their overnight total of 164 for 5, with Mohammad Asif and Amjad capturing three wickets apiece.
