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.

News Links from Around the World

This Post allows you to see the latest news updates from around the world. Below you will find selected news outlets' Youtube pages. There will be two links for each.  The first is called "Videos" and will link you to the videos page of each site. There you will find the latest Youtubes of that site, as well as  all of the links on the site, in reverse chronological order. The second is called "Playlists" and will link you to the playlists of the site, which I have arranged in chronological order, with the most recently updated playlists listed at the top of the order. The latest updated playlists will list how long ago the playlist was updated. If there is no date, then the playlist was updated before the earliest playlist date. Note that some playlists put their newest additions at the bottom of the playlist, but most put them at the top for ease of access.  Due to the fact that these are almost exclusively video stories, I am only linking to English language
