Suyog: "What a proud moment for Chanderpaul family. son surpasses fathers highest score during his first ton.."

Pratik: "Take a bow Tagenarine Chanderpaul !! What a story"

Sanjay : "So happy to be waking up to this! Well done team and hearty congratulations to Tage! You have made us all here proud in the Caribbean "

1.50pm And West Indies declare. Tagenarine walks off unbeaten on 207 as he is congratulated by the Zimbabwe players. It was a dogged innings from him, goin past his father Shivnarine's highest Test score of 203 in his fifth Test innings. He laid down the platform with his opening partner and skipper, Kraigg Brathwaite, who fell 18 short of a double-century of his own. The two of them also registered the highest opening partnership for West Indies. Tagenarine held firm even as his partners at the other end fell in quick succession as West Indies looked to score quickly on the third day. Brandon Mavuta was the star with the ball for Zimbabwe, picking his first Test five-wicket haul. Now, with some spin on offer, it will be turn of the West Indies bowlers to try and capitalise on the platform set by the batters.

Thanks Ashish. Has been entertaining so far, this session (and the day in all). Joshua Da Silva is the new man at the crease.

Time for drinks and also time for Abhimanyu to be back in the hot seat.

Hampy: "If they are trying to setup a declaration, why are they batting so slowly?" To be fair to Zimbabwe, they have bowled well. Tight lines, and the field is well spread too.

Mavuta to Holder, OUT, Five-for for Mavuta and hasn't he deserved it! On a length spinning away from Holder outside off. Was quite slow as well. Holder gets half-forward looking to push it. Can only get a thin edge and the keeper hangs on to a good catch.
