Queens Sports Club: Wiaan Mulder produced an innings for the ages on the second day of the one-off Test against Zimbabwe, smashing a career-best 367 not out before making the bold decision to declare during the lunch break with South Africa at 626 for 5 at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo.

The stand-in captain, who walked off unbeaten and just 33 runs short of Brian Lara’s record 400, chose team over personal glory in a move that will spark debate for days to come. Mulder’s innings, filled with authority and composure, featured 49 fours and four sixes, one of which cleared the ground altogether. Mulder is captaining the side in the absence of injured Keshav Maharaj.

Resuming at 465 for 4 alongside Dewald Brevis, Mulder continued to dominate on a batting-friendly surface. Brevis fell for 72, but Kyle Verreynne joined hands with Mulder to add a further 113 runs.
