1.55pm So a pretty good fightback in the end. Zimbabwe seemed down and out at 127 for 8. What made the difference is the ninth-wicket stand of 91 - Zimbabwe's record for the ninth wicket. Tendai Chisoro's highest in ODIs previously was 12, but today, he has struck 42 off 35 balls with two fours and two sixes, and may just taken his team to a match-winning total. This is a pretty good total on this surface and West Indies will have to bat well to chase it down. Zimbabwe handled everything the West Indies medium pacers threw at them with ease. But they were all at sea against the spinners. The expectation is that the pitch will get lower and slower as the match progresses, which means this could be trickier than it appears at first glance for West Indies. A final berth beckons. Can Zimbabwe defend this for a superb come-from-behind win or will West Indies' batsmen prevail? Should be an interesting chase. Join us in a bit.

Santhosh: "Why is 50th over not bowled. The scorecard says 50 overs maximum." The match was reduced to 49-overs-a-side after a rain interruption, Santhosh.

Edmond Chinyadz: "This should rate as the biggest fight back in batting terms for team Zimbabwe, keep on keeping on our rankings will be back soon, am loving it."

CR Brathwaite to Sikandar Raza, no run, tries to get inside the of the ball and scoop it over fine leg. But it was a length ball and it bounces more than he would have liked and he ends up making no contact

CR Brathwaite to Chisoro, SIX, slower short ball, there is not much pace on it at all and Chisoro has all the time to pick that up and get in position. It sits up and there is no pace so Chisoro can get on top of it and he pulls it over deep square leg

CR Brathwaite to Sikandar Raza, 1 run, good bowling. Raza was backing away to give himself room but brathwaite pitches it right up and bowls a yorker that is squeezed out to point

Carlos Brathwaite to bowl the final over..
