Day Two of the SAA Provincial Challenge match between Griqualand West and Zimbabwe Provinces, and after picking up from 72/3, Provinces were soon in trouble - Friday Kasteni's 61 was the highlight for the visitors, but he was first man out on the day and the wickets fell regularly from there. Regis Chakabva's 46 helped the side reach a half-way respectable score of 194, but all told it was another frustrating day with the day, and Griqualand West took a 99-run lead into the second innings.

Provinces made up for their problems with the bat, though, when Admire Manyumwa and Graeme Cremer demolished the Griquas. The first-wicket stand of 40 was the best partnership of the day - 6 of the home side's batsmen failed to score, as Manyumwa (3/18) and Cremer (3/10) ripped through the batting order, with Trevor Garwe (2/29) also making a contribution. Griqualand West were bowled out for just 90, leaving Provinces with a target of 190 to win.

Chasing their target, Terry Duffin's run of poor form continued as he was out for a duck (his 4th in this competition), but by close of play Tino Mawoyo (21*) and Bornaparte Majuru (15*) had very cautiously seen the side to 41/1. Provinces now have a full day to finish the run-chase - plenty of time, as long as they keep their heads about them. It'll be an interesting day's play tomorrow.
Griqualand West 293 (Bossenger 88, Garwe 4/49) & 90 (Kruger 32, Pietersen 32, Cremer 3/10), Zimbabwe Provinces 194 (Kasteni 61, Karolus 4/26) & 41/1 (Mawoyo 21*, Pietersen 1/18)
