On Sunday in Bulawayo, during the first test against South Africa, Zimbabwe's seasoned cricketer Sean Williams displayed a remarkable performance, scoring 137 from 164 balls. Despite his stellar play, South Africa maintained a commanding position with a substantial 216-run lead and nine second-innings wickets in hand.

As play resumes on the third day, South Africa stands at 49 for one, with opener Tony de Zorzi at 22 not out and Wiaan Mulder contributing 25 runs. Their aim remains to amass a formidable total, providing a challenging target for the local team.

Despite facing a fierce delivery by South Africa's young Kwena Maphaka that struck him on the helmet, Williams held Zimbabwe's innings together. The home side, totaling 251 in response to South Africa's 418 for nine declared, faces an uphill battle as the match progresses.
