and Asghar Afghan has taken Afghanistan to 307/3. This is the highest partnership by a Afghanistan pair for any wicket in Test matches. Skipper Asghar became the second batsman after
to score a Test hundred for his country. He did that in style, hitting Victor Nyauchi for consecutive boundaries to reach the landmark.
Asghar has played 135 balls for his unbeaten 106 runs with 12 boundaries and 2 over-boundaries.
Watchful Shahidi is a potential for becoming the third Afghan Test centurion, as he is  229-ball 86* runs (12 fours). Opener
, who made 72 off 130, missed out on a three-figure earlier in the day. He lost his opening partner Javed Ahmadi in the second over after Afghanistan elected to bat first. Rahmat was run out for 23 in a terrible mix-up with Ibrahim. Zimbabwe have used seven bowlers on a dry day. Pacer Nyauchi and leg-spinner Ryan Burl are the only two wicket-takers of the day, but both have been expensive as they gave runs at 5.21 and 4.25 respectively. Afghanistan will bank on
, who has returned from an injury that ruled him out of the first Test, after posting a big first innings total in course to level the series.
Brief scores:
Afghanistan 307/3 in 90 overs
(Asghar 106*, Shahidi 86*, Ibrahim 72; Burl 1/34)
