On the other hand, Zimbabwe captain Ervine said, “We’ll bat. Wicket’s going to play the same throughout. Want to put on a decent score and put them under pressure. We’ll have to be (ready to face their pace attack?). Only had one day to get used to these conditions but everyone is feeling good. Chatara out for Evans.”
