OUT! L.B.W. Verified by umpire after REFERRAL. Kemar Roach to Tendai Chisoro. Slower ball half volley, middle stump on the front foot defending, hit pad. Huge appeal and up goes the dreaded digit. That looked pretty plumb but Chisoro is going to review, he might as well in this situation. The ball scooted under the defensive prod by the debutant and ball tracking confirms it would've smashed into leg stump.
That was a tidy bowling performance by the West Indies after lunch, Gabriel and Roach able to clean up the tail with the second new ball. At one stage earlier today it looked as though the hosts might make in excess of 350, however 326 is a decent total built on the back of Masakadza's 5th Test century. The tourists have plenty of time left in the day and the sun beating down in Bulawayo, great conditions for their response.
FOUR! Shannon Gabriel to Christopher Mpofu. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Steer, thick edge past third man for 4 runs. Mpofu carries on where he left off in the previous Test, just opening the face of the blade to pick up a handy boundary.

OUT! Run Out. Shannon Gabriel to Graeme Cremer. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, to mid off, direct hit by Holder. Direct hit from the skipper, he catches his opposite number a couple of inches short. Cremer never really got going today, was struggling to find the gaps and got frustrated so tried to pinch a single. Holder was aware at mid off and fired in an accurate throw. They check with the third umpire but Cremer has to depart.

FOUR! Shannon Gabriel to Tendai Chisoro. Yorker, outside off stump on the front foot pushing, inside edge past fine leg for 4 runs. What a way to get off the mark in your Test career, a streaky inside edge narrowly evades the stumps and zips down to fine leg for a boundary.
OUT! Caught. Shannon Gabriel to Sikandar Raza. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, outside edge to slips, by Hope. Edged and gobbled up by Kyle Hope at second slip, that's a timely wicket for the Windies to take. The previous ball took the edge as well but flew into a gap, this time though it is safely pouched in the cordon to give Gabriel his second scalp of the innings. Raza played a quality knock but he has to depart now, undone by the second new ball.
OUT! L.B.W. Tendai Chisoro to Kemar Roach. Stock length ball, off stump on the front foot defending, hit pad. Up goes the finger, Chisoro finishes with three as this skids on to have Roach LBW. The previous delivery turned a bit so he played outside the line of this one and pays the price.
So the West Indies take a lead of 122 runs into the second innings, certainly handy on a wearing pitch showing signs of inconsistent bounce and turn. For that they have to thank Jason Holder and Shane Dowrich, who became only the second numbers eight and nine to score Test centuries in the same innings and the first for more than one hundred years. They rescued the tourists from a difficult position and now will feel in control of the match. Zimbabwe will have to look to the way those two batted for inspiration second time around.

FOUR! Graeme Cremer to Shannon Gabriel. Leg spinner half volley, off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control past long on for 4 runs. Wack, Gabriel uses his muscle to give this a wallop over the top of mid on. These two batsmen might just have a bit of fun now the pressure is off.

OUT! Bowled. Tendai Chisoro to Jason Holder. Stock length ball, down leg side on the front foot sweeping, missed. Chisoro has had to wait an age for his first wicket but now he has two in two overs, both centurions sent on their way by the big left-arm spinner. He swapped to over the wicket to finish off the over and it pays dividends, Holder looking to paddle the ball to fine leg but getting a bit too cute. Zimbabwe celebrate after a few handshakes for Holder, nice to see.

Kieran Powell to Regis Chakabva. Length ball, working, to mid wicket for no runs. Handshakes in the middle, Zimbabwe have done it. What an amazing effort, 144 overs of concentration and determination have paid off as they secure a draw. West Indies win the series 1-0, but Zimbabwe can be proud of their efforts in Bulawayo.
Zimbabwe's lower order toughed it out on the final day in Bulawayo to secure their first draw in Test cricket for more than 12 years. Sikandar Raza, Regis Chakabva and captain Graeme Cremer were the heroes leading the blockathon, denying the visitors the chance to push for victory. Raza in particular had an amazing match with two half centuries and a five-wicket haul showing he has incredible all-round talent. A couple of wickets early this morning suggested that the West Indies might storm to victory, but this Zimbabwe team are made of stern stuff. There were twists and turns along the way, borderline decisions and dropped catches, but in the end a draw seems a fair result. The tourists gave it everything with the ball but in the end the surface didn't deteriorate as much as was expected. They will still be pleased with the tour, a series win away from home is always a special achievement.

FOUR! Kraigg Brathwaite to Regis Chakabva. Off break half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed past long off for 4 runs. A boundary, amazing.
