Don't know what's wrong with the South Africa team today in this test. They are the winners of the World Test Championship but they way they are better against Zimbabwe, seems like Zimbabwe is playing against any club level team. It is only Lhuan-dre Pretorius innings of 109 runs that took South Africa over a 200 runs otherwise they would have been all out under 150. The good thing for the South African team is that he is still playing and maybe he can take them to a 300+ total. I am impressed with Zimbabwe bowlers performance in this innings. It is something to cheer about for the Zimbabwe fans in Bulawayo.

In the early stages of the innings, South Africa were playing badly and I was thinking they had made a big mistake resting the players that played the the World Test Championship, but then the players arrived who played a long innings and led the team to a great position.

Lhuan-dre Pretorius played the innings of 153 off 160  balls, it seems that he was playing like it is one day match, however, the next players played average but then Corbin Bosch also smashed the century and he is still batting and not out, South Africa still have one wicket in hand while they are on 418 runs.
South African batsmen cannot be praised. Because they batted in Test matches like ODIs, like Lhuan-dre Pretorius who scored 153 runs off 160 balls. Where there were eleven fours and four sixes. Again, Corbin Bosch who scored 100 runs off 124 balls is still unknown. He hit ten fours. On the other hand, Zimbabwe's Tanaka Chivanga gave away 83 runs off 16 balls. And took four wickets. Again, he took two overs medals.
