Afghanistan 95 for 2 (Rahmat 49*) trail Zimbabwe 586 (Bennett 110*, Ervine 104, Ghazanfar 3-127) by 491 runs

Bulawayo was buzzing on the second day of the Boxing Day Test as the home fans celebrated one landmark after another, with Zimbabwe creating history against Afghanistan by getting to their highest Test score of all time. Overnight centurion Sean Williams posted his personal best in Tests, the captain Craig Ervine scored his third Test ton in a 13-year career, and Brian Bennett struck a dramatic maiden hundred, taking Zimbabwe to 586.

Williams set the tone early with a cut through point to pass 150. He looked to be aggressive to the leg side but mistimed a pull off Naveen Zadran to deep midwicket, adding only nine to his overnight score before departing for 154 in the day's sixth over.

The No. 7 Bennett, playing only his second Test, then looked busy upon arrival. His early strokes allowed Ervine, starting overnight on 56, to get his eyes in, and together they put on 82 in only 20.2 overs for the sixth wicket. Ervine showed off his ease against spin to dominate square of the wicket. He reached triple figures with a flick towards backward square leg in the 109th over, took off his helmet, and revealed a smile that bore a feeling of satisfaction.

Left-arm spinner Zia-Ur-Rehman had Ervine nicking to the keeper for 104 two overs later, followed by Brandon Mavuta's dismissal for 0 in the same over, those two wickets did not bring any respite for the inexperienced Afghanistan bowling unit. The turn was predictable, the pacers were ineffective, allowing Bennett and the lower-order to score freely.

Bennett, a few streaky boundaries aside, peppered boundaries through the covers, and after lunch the message was clear that the remaining batters would also play positively. Teen debutant Newman Nyamhuri, known for his left-arm seam bowling in the domestic circuit, showed he can also contribute with the bat. He was out on 26 to Zahir Khan, but not before bringing up Zimbabwe's 500 with a big six down the ground. It ended a 21-year wait for Zimbabwe to breach that mark in Tests.

I somehow only managed to get one photo with the glorious Nepal Premier League trophy, but rather fittingly it was with my old friend and wonderful man, Monty Desai. I continue to be in awe of his warmth, generosity, kindness and brilliance.

I've known Monty for more than a dozen years now, so this is a photo I'll treasure from a trip for a tournament I will never forget.

Thanks for all your beautiful messages over the last two days. Dhanyavad 🇳🇵🙏❤️

History isn’t written. It’s created.

We had lost both our matches against the Royals. A third loss would have surprised a few.

But we won when it mattered the most.

We won, and became the champions of Nepal.

This is that story. This is how we did it.
Janakpur Bolts won the title 🏆 of 1st season NPL2024.

With this Janakpur Bolts registered their first win of the season against Sudurpaschim Royals, having previously losing to the runners up in the league stage and the first qualifier.
