Zimbabwe claim historic win

Zimbabwe today scored a historic cricket win over Pakistan when Tendai Chatara snared five wickets to draw the Test series in Harare. Chasing 106 runs for victory and with five wickets in hand on the final day, the tourists were relying on Misbah-ul-Haq to carry them home and he did not disappoint with a battling half-century. However, Chatara stole the limelight with a superb show of bowling to help dismiss Pakistan for 239 shortly after lunch as Zimbabwe wrapped up a first Test victory over an established full-member nation since beating India in 2001.
