Afghanistan 545 for 4 outs--declared innings over--160.4 overs in their innings (964 legal deliveries) Top Scorer: Hashmatulla Shahidi: 200 runs (not out); 443 balls faced, 590 minutes (9 hours 50 minutes), 21 FOURS, 1 SIX, highest score in history of Afghanistan Test cricket. Ran 110 runs (batters do not run boundaries) off his own batting. Equivalent of 18 times around a baseball diamond. He also ran all the non boundary runs of his three partners. One of those, Asghar Afghan, scored 164 runs, of which 68 came on boundaries. So Hashmatulla had to run 96 of Afghan's runs as well. So a partial total of 206 times he had to run up and down the pitch. So that would make 34 times around the bases, not counting his other two partners. Quite an at-bat.
Zimbabwe 1st innings 50 for 0 outs. 17 overs. 87.4 overs on the day. Total through 2 days. 177.4 overs (1,066 legal deliveries through 2 days)
Afghanistan wins the toss and bats: 307 for 3 outs. 90 overs.
