BRENDAN Taylor believes Zimbabwe still have a good chance of winning the second Test against Pakistan at Harare Sports Club. It’s all set for a thrilling climax with the hosts needing to take five wickets and the visitors needing about 100 runs to win.  “I think we are in a good position tomorrow, we have five top batters out but there is still a big task for us because Misbah generally constructs partnerships very well.

“It is finely balanced and I think either side can’t relax a bit but I think we need to put the pressure on, if we get one wicket we will be in the driving seat,” said Taylor.

On day four of the first Test, which the tourists won by 221 runs, Zimbabwe batting coach Grant Flower, after analysing the situation, said his charges should aim for the draw.

But they can’t try for a draw today.
“We are looking to win and that is the only thing on our minds, there is going to be a result tomorrow either way.

“Our bowlers have been excellent and if we can put the ball in the right areas on a wearing wicket we can push on for a win,” said Taylor.
