ZIM vs AFG, 2nd Test: Rahmat Shah’s century tips tide in favour of Afghanistan on Day 3

The Hindu  

Rahmat Shah struck 139 in Bulawayo on Saturday to revive Afghanistan’s hopes of winning a series-deciding second Test against Zimbabwe before rain stopped play late on day three. Much hinged on Shah, a double centurion in the drawn first Test, and he proved equal to the task as Afghanistan reached 291-7 by the close of play for a 205-run lead. Zia-ur-Rehman, Afsar Zazai and Shahidullah Kamal were the other Afghan batters to fall on day three, as both teams seek a first Test win since beating each other in 2021. Brian Bennett caught Rehman at short fine leg, a brilliant catch by Dion Myers at backward point dismissed Zazai and a Shahidullah prod was snapped up by Takudzwanashe Kaitano at silly point.
