The left-hand batter made 121 before being trapped leg before wicket as the home team advanced from 130-2 overnight to 359 in reply to the tourists' 127, a first-innings lead of 232 runs.

Batting a second time, Afghanistan were 34-1 at stumps against Zimbabwe, who are seeking a first Test victory in Harare since beating Pakistan by 24 runs in 2013.

Curran, the brother of England internationals Sam and Tom Curran and a son of the late Zimbabwe star Kevin Curran, became the first member of the family to score Test and one-day international centuries.
