Bristing in the full cab bowled like an Irish curse at the start of the day, utilising the two-paced nature and uneven bounce on day one. His 7 for 58, which is the second-best figures for a Zimbabwe bowler – dented Ireland but not before Lorcan Tucker‘s initiative, followed by a 127-run stand between Andy McBrine and Tucker, lifted Ireland from the precarity of 31 for 5 to the comforts of 260.
