South Africa Vs Zimbabwe Highlights, 1st Test Day 2: After opening-day centuries from Lhuan-dre Pretorius and Corbin Bosch, the Proteas bowlers delivered the goods in Bulawayo on Sunday (June 29, 2025). Wiaan Mulder snared four wickets and captain Keshav Maharaj picked up three as the home team were bowled out for 251 runs in 67.4 overs.

The tourists only had to navigate 13 overs with the bat before stumps, though they were unable to do so without loss as Breetzke's thick edge was snaffled by Madhevere. They will resume at 49-1 on Monday with Mulder (25 not out) and De Zorzi (22 not out) at the crease, leading by 216 as they bid to take a 1-0 lead in the two-match series.
