2.48 pm With Zimbabwe's last wicket falling, the umpires have taken tea. Bishoo walks away with the game ball, as he finishes with five wickets to his name. After Zimbabwe's top three got valuable starts, the highest anyone else could add was 12. That means West Indies finish with a lead of 60, a number that is very valuable on this surface. Be back soon with the final session of the day.

Gabriel to Mpofu, OUT, And that's the end! Zimbabwe are all out for 159. Back of a length outside off and this time Mpofu's poke catches the outside edge of the blade. Dowrich swallows that and we're done. Time for tea.

Gabriel to Mpofu, no run, wide outside off, back of a length and Mpofu pokes at it. Good for him that there was no contact with bat. Goes just past his outside edge. No movement of the feet, and atleast a couple of yards between bat and pad

Gabriel to Mpofu, no run, has he tickled this down leg? Hit something. Has to be the pad or the strap of the pad. Lucky to get away with that wayward delivery
