4.45pm That was some session for Zimbabwe, they took seven wickets in under 25 overs to wrap up West Indies for 219 on this first day. Shai Hope was the stand-out performer, making a sublime 90*, which could yet have some significance in this Test. But Zimbabwe will be buoyed by that effort. Zimbabwe have to face five overs after a short break.

Cremer to Gabriel, OUT, 79 kph, it is the googly and West Indies are all out. It rips back in, Gabriel plays the line, the ball spins back in, bounces extra and the ball takes the inside edge and bobbles to short leg. Another sharp catch from Ervine. That leaves Hope 90*
ST Gabriel c Ervine b Cremer 0 (1m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
Shannon Gabriel the last man in. Watch for the googly

Cremer to Roach, OUT, Roach uses West Indies' last review. The googly, on middle and leg, hits Roach in front of leg, the ball then bobbles back to hit the face of the bat. There was definite bat, but it was after the ball hit the pad. So HawkEye will decide this. Three reds on HawkEye and Roach is gone now. West Indies are nine down. WI have exhausted their reviews.

Williams to Bishoo, OUT, another one. Worked straight into short leg's hands. Quick delivery outside off, the ball spinning in. Bishoo can't help himself from nudging the ball with the spin, he didn't keep it down or hit it hard enough to make the catch harder. But Craig Ervine stays low and takes a wonderful catch, his eyes on the ball right through, takes it in front of him

Williams to Holder, OUT, out, lbw or caught? Holder wants to review, that means he feels he did not hit the ball. Quick on middle and leg, the ball spun to beat Holder's flick. No bat. Now, all comes down to HawkEye. It's quick on leg, and it seems unlikely the ball will miss leg stump. All it needs to do is pitch in line and clip the leg stump. But there also seems to be some bat as the ball passes. There was a catch at gully, but did that carry? Three reds on HawkEye, but it seems there is definitely bat. The third umpire thinks there is no bat, but there was some spike with the ball kissing the edge. Hmm, interesting. Holder lbw. Don't think that's the right decision though.
