James: "West Indies have 25 minutes to bowl before lunch. The Zimbabwe openers won't be looking forward to that."

11.25am A more-than-handy lead of 122 for West Indies after one innings each. Once overnight batsmen Dowrich and Holder got their respective hundreds, Tendai Chisoro finally struck after more than thirty overs of tight bowling. He removed both centurions and then the last man to finish with a handy three-wicket haul. But let's not forget Sikandar Raza's conribution yesterday: he finishes with his maiden five-wicket haul. The pitch, however, has been conducive to spin and it won't be easy for Zimbabwe when they're back to bat in 10 minutes.

Chisoro to Roach, OUT, full on off stump, and stays low this time! Back of a length on off stump, this is the straight one and plumb in front of middle. Umpire Dharmasena confirms Chisoro's appeal for lbw. Third duck in three innings for Roach. West Indies all out for 448.

Chisoro to Roach, no run, takes the outside edge, but one-bounce to first slip. Full outside off and defended

James: "Might as well bat on (hopefully these 2 can have a bit of fun). Batting last won't be easy, the opposition is tired, and 120 is a decent lead on a wearing pitch."

Chisoro to Holder, OUT, He's bowled around his legs! Back of a length outside leg and the attempted sweep gets another victim for Chisoro. Tried to paddle this past short third man but the ball goes under his bat, and breaks leg stump. Holder is disappointed as he leaves the ground. The change of angle worked and how!
