Santner to Williams, out Caught by Blundell!! Williams is caught down the leg-side! He'll count himself unlucky here. Good length ball that pitches around off and turns down the leg-side. He looks to clip it away but gets an inside edge on it, and Blundell does well to gather. It probably turned more than he anticipated. The partnership was going well for Zimbabwe but it's broken a few minutes before lunch. Williams c Blundell b Santner 49(66) [4s-6]
