Port Elizabeth, South Africa, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 27th Dec, 2017 ) :Zimbabwe were forced to follow on after being bowled out for 68 on the second day of their one-off day-night Test against South Africa at St George's Park in Port Elizabeth on Wednesday.
Trailing by 241 runs on the first innings, Zimbabwe were 36 for no wicket at tea, although they suffered a casualty when Hamilton Masakadza was forced to retire hurt on seven after being hit on the right elbow by a lifting ball from Morne Morkel.
Morkel was the main destroyer in Zimbabwe's first innings, taking five for 21. Kagiso Rabada and Andile Phehlukwayo took two wickets each. South Africa needed just 68 minutes and 14.1 overs on Wednesday to take the remaining six wickets after Zimbabwe resumed on 30 for four.
Nightwatchman Kyle Jarvis was the top score for Zimbabwe, making 23. Morkel, who took the first three wickets under floodlights on Tuesday, again made the first breakthroughs. With his seventh ball of the morning, Morkel bowled left-hander Rory Burl for 16, beating the batsman for pace with a ball angled in from around the wicket.
Four balls later he had Sikandar Raza caught behind after softening him up with a vicious bouncer, which Raza fended off the splice of his bat just short of gully. Faced with almost an hour to bat before tea, Zimbabwe showed greater resistance in their second innings but Morkel remained a threat.
