4.14pm Well, what do you know! Zimbabwe have declared. Good to see they are looking for a result. West Indies have a 68-run lead but they are tired and looked jaded. Zimbabwe fancy themselves bowling around 10 overs today and who knows, if they strike a few blows, anything could happen. Ballance walks back 137* with Ngarava on 19*. The straight six he hit will be talked about for years to come. Stunning turnaround from ZImbabwe, who were staring down the barrel after the first session where they lost four wickets. But, Mavuta hung around with Ballance and Zimbabwe are now in a position, where they dictate terms.
Laurence: "Declaring behind is old-skool -- like an off-side field. Love it. "
Davo: "Motie should have had 5 or 6 wickets, it's so disappointing to see catches being dropped off of someone who deserves to be in the team as a Frontline spinner."
Jake: "Why is Chase bowling when there are better options around? I know a left hander is at the crease but still... Personally, I think WI should replace 1 of Chase or Reifer with a pure batter since they're both bit part players who offer marginal returns in both batting and bowling."
