Ireland leads Zimbabwe by 76 runs in Test

Ireland holds a 76-run lead over Zimbabwe at the end of the second day of their one-off Test match in Bulawayo, reaching 83 for one in their second innings. Captain Andy Balbirnie remained unbeaten on 32, with Curtis Campher supporting him on 14. Ireland had previously been bowled out for 260 in their first innings, while Zimbabwe managed to edge ahead by seven runs with a total of 267, thanks mainly to debutant Nick Welch's score of 90 and Blessing Muzarabani's 47. The Irish bowlers, particularly Barry McCarthy with figures of 4-75, were instrumental in restricting Zimbabwe's scoring. Despite a promising start, Zimbabwe lost wickets frequently, hampering their innings. The match continues with Ireland in a strong position as they aim for victory.
