Kenya vs. Zimbabwe 3rd ODI: Zimbabwe Innings

Thomas Odoyo has struck twice early on to remove two of Zimbabwe's dangermen - Rinke for 2, and Masakadze for a duck. After 7 overs, Zimbabwe are 2-22. This is a good start for Kenya, but the wickets need to continue to fall.
Infact, as I write, there is an update to the effect that Kenya have another wicket. They are now at 3-38 with Odoyo now accounting for the captain Duffin for 8. Coventry is on 10, and Taylor on 15, both batsmen we need to remove soon to stay in with a chance.
UPDATE 1:
Peter Ongondo has struck to remove Coventry caught and bowled, to take Kenya one wicket closer to an upset after the first innings. That said, Taylor continues on 32, and his wicket will be crucial to this match. Zimbabwe are almost half way to the target, so Kenya need wickets again, and quickly. Suji has been introduced to the attack to spell Odoyo, but Thomas may well be brought back to finish his overs and try to snare a few more wickets as soon as he is rested.
UPDATE 2:
Now Tony Suji gets in on the act with the prize wicket of Taylor, caught behind for 33. Zimbabwe now 5-66. This is developing into a very intense match.
