Just 33 runs away from tying the highest individual score in Test history (Brian Lara's 400 not out, vs England, 2004 Antigua Test), the Proteas stop-gap skipper Wiaan Mulder declared the innings at lunch on Day II at Bulawayo with South Africa at 626/5!
Barring any sort of miracle, the lowly placed Zimbabwe could be easily beaten within 3-4 days in a Test by the mighty Test Champion Proteas! So there lies no wonder that just within the next 2 sessions of Day II; Zimbabwe had not only got themselves dismissed for mere 170, but ended with the 2nd innings score of 51/1 at stumps after being asked to follow on! And the person who could post the 5th highest individual Test score of unbeaten 367 off 334 balls would surely have touched 400 (or more) within next 30 deliveries at the maximum - - - still having 3 days and almost 2 sessions to dismiss Zimbabwe twice!
