Both sides in this match continued from where they left off in round one, with Northerns quickly securing their dominance over a Westerns side that really isn't up to their normal form at the moment. After winning the toss and electing to bat, Northerns cruised their way through the day, losing just two wickets on their way to a score of 234 at stumps, with Alois Tichana (85*) and Elton Chigumbura (93*) making the most of some weak Westerns bowling - Chris Mpofu's 1/39 was the best of a bad bunch, and Westerns already look in danger of losing this one.
Northerns 234/2 (Chigumbura 93*, Mpofu 1/39), Westerns yet to bat.
