So a good fightback from West Indies to peg Zimbabwe back. They had looked good for so much more when Raza and Ervine were in the middle of that partnership. But some positives for Zimbabwe despite the late losses. This is their best total in ODIs this year and also the first time in eight attempts that they have lasted 50 overs this year. But this total might be trickier than it seems at first glance. There is absolutely no pace on the surface, the ball is stopping on the batsman and batsmen aren't finding the distance they would like on big hits. Power-hitting is West Indies' favourite mode of batsmanship, but it may not be easy on this surface where strike rotation will be key. Some good bowling from Zimbabwe, and West Indies will be tested. Join us in a bit for the chase.

CR Brathwaite to Mpofu, OUT, cleaned him up. Full and straight. Mpofu goes for the slog but it is too straight and he makes no contact. The ball crashes into middle stump and spilts it into two

CR Brathwaite to Mpofu, no run, yorker on off, digs it out back to the bowler

Simba T: "I think this is what Zimbabwe batsmen should strive to do, have two or 3 batsmen to hit half centuries and at the end they will give us a respectable score even in defeat having set respectable high score at least the will be competitive"

CR Brathwaite to Cremer, OUT, full toss from Brathwaite, Cremer gets down to paddle sweep. The surface is slow and there isn't too much pace, so he doesn't get the ball as far as he would have liked. It lobs straight to the fielder at short fine leg

Gabriel to Tiripano, OUT, goes for a slog and misses, Gabriel hits. It was full and angling in. Tiripano takes an almighty swipe, perhaps needed to make a bit of room to execute it properly. He doesn't do so and makes no contact with the ball which crashes into the leg stump

DT Tiripano b Gabriel 14 (11m 9b 0x4 1x6) SR: 155.55
