Scoreboard

Zimbabwe paceman Richard Ngarava took four wickets in a devastating spell to leave Ireland 33-5 in a run chase of 158 in the Test match at Stormont.

The hosts were in a commanding position after bowling Zimbabwe out for 197 on Saturday afternoon.

But they were reduced to 6-3 and 21-5 as Ngarava ripped through the top order with Zimbabwe's charge halted when bad light brought a premature end of play.

There were ducks for PJ Moor, Curtis Campher and Harry Tector while Andrew Balbirnie (4) and Paul Stirling (10) also fell cheaply.

Ngarava finished the day with career-best figures of 4-12 while Blessing Muzarabani also picked up a wicket.
