Rain arriving just before the Tea interval put the brakes on the Wolves surge to secure a win on the final day of the match. The final session looking as if it would be shortened as the rain showed little sign of easing. Little chance then of Zimbabwe scoring the 223 required but perhaps also a problem for Ireland to take the four wickets they require in what time, if any, remains in the game. Humphreys bowls Frost and a Hoey googly accounts for Maposa before Myers, on 97 has a heave at Humphreys and is bowled. The reason for his desperation shot is then revealed as he removes the stumps, as Trevor Gwandu is unable to bat. It takes a few moments for Ireland to realise that the innings has ended before their celebrations begin. The final three wickets falling for just ten runs in 29 balls after an interruption for bad light and rain that lasted over an hour, a sensational win for the Wolves.

Ireland's innings lasted only nineteen balls on Day 2, Gavin Hoey managing to add only another four runs to his overnight total. A wicket each for Adair and McDonough inside the first three overs of the Zimbabwe reply before Myers and Kaitano added 80 for the third wicket. Kaitano going on to a century, brought up in style with a Six over long-on off Matthew Humphreys but he's left stranded on 108* as the last three wickets fall for just three runs to signal an end to the day's play.

Runs all down the order as the Wolves topped four hundred on Day 1 of the unofficial 4-Day Test Match. Mark Adair back in action batting six and posting a half-century but top scorer was Ben Calitz at seven who plundered 80 (4x4, 7x6). Gavin Hoey 74* overnight - will Byron McDonough hang around in the morning to allow Hoey the chance of a first-class century.
