We are back for the West Indies innings. The umpires have made their way out in the middle. Zimbabwe players are seen in a huddle, near the ropes.

West Indies were excellent with the ball. Gudakesh Motie was undoubtedly the pick of the bowlers as he picked up seven wickets and this was his career best. Jason Holder chipped in two wickets whilst Alzarri Joseph has one in his kitty. West Indies will be hoping to go past Zimbabwe's total by the end of the day now.

... SECOND INNINGS ...

A poor display of batting from the Zimbabwean batters as they have just managed to put up a total of 115 runs on the board. They were under the pump right from the word go, and never looked settled in the game. Innocent Kaia looked good for a moment but he lost his wicket, scoring 38 runs. They kept on losing a wicket whenever a partnership was brewing. Only four of their batters went into double digits, rest all of their batters scored in single digits.

Drinks! Zimbabwe have just not been able to deal with the spin and bounce Gudakesh Motie has got from this turf. They have been pretty poor with their shot selection as well and are starring down the barrel now. They are going to fall pretty short of the respectable first innings total here and would need their bowlers to deliver once this last wicket falls which is likely to happen anytime soon.

Right then, West Indies bowlers have done their job and that too really well. The onus is now on their batters to put up a mammoth total on the board and get a good lead. Zimbabwe bowlers will have to come up with something special here. Can they do it? To find out do join us for the second innings in a short while.

Zimbabwe, on the other hand, will be very disappointed with this batting effort, especially after the start they got. Innocent Kaia looked pretty solid and stitched decent partnerships with Tanunurwa Makoni and Chamu Chibhabha. However, once he Kaia departed in the 18th over, Zimbabwe just seemed to have lost their way and now have lost half of their side in the first session itself. They went from 48-1 to 68-5 and the skipper Craig Ervine need someone to stay out there with him in the middle

West Indies have bagged the opening session of this second Test match. They came out with more intent with the ball this morning and bowled with great discipline. It took them some time to break the opening stand but Alzarri Joseph provided that breakthrough in the 10th over and then Holder and Motie bowled briliantly and kept chipping in with wickets.

Drinks break. It has been a fascinating first hour of play. Both the teams have shown some great discipline and have played some classical-old Test cricket.

We are all ready for the start of the second Test! The West Indies players are out there in the middle. Innocent Kaia and Tanunurwa Makoni are the openers for Zimbabwe. The players now take knee in support of the BLM movement. We are done with that and now Alzarri Joseph will start the proceedings with a new red cherry. Here we go...

Kraigg Brathwaite, the skipper of West Indies says that they would have batted first and now have the job to do with the ball. Mentions that it was an all-round effort with batters and bowlers all doing well and feels that this pitch will turn a bit more. Informs that they have one changes with Shannon Gabriel coming in for Kemar Roach.

Craig Ervine, the skipper of Zimbabwe says that they will bat first. Tells that the pitch looks a bit more drier and there would be biit more turn in this game. Informs that they have few changes with Gudakesh Motie being unwell and couple of other changes. 

Zimbabwe (Playing XI) - Innocent Kaia, Tanunurwa Makoni, Chamu Chibhabha, Craig Ervine (C), Tafadzwa Tsiga (WK), Brandon Mavuta, Wellington Masakadza, Victor Nyauchi, Donald Tiripano (In place of Brad Evans), Milton Shumba (In place of Gary Ballance), Tanaka Chivanga (In place of Richard Ngarava). 

West Indies (Playing XI) - Kraigg Brathwaite (C), Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Raymon Reifer, Jermaine Blackwood, Kyle Mayers, Roston Chase, Joshua Da Silva (WK), Jason Holder, Alzarri Joseph, Gudakesh Motie, Shannon Gabriel (In place of Kemar Roach).

TOSS - The coin goes up in the air and Craig Ervine calls it right. Zimbabwe have decided to BAT first.

We are back for the West Indies innings. The umpires have made their way out in the middle. Zimbabwe players are seen in a huddle, near the ropes.

West Indies were excellent with the ball. Gudakesh Motie was undoubtedly the pick of the bowlers as he picked up seven wickets and this was his career best. Jason Holder chipped in two wickets whilst Alzarri Joseph has one in his kitty. West Indies will be hoping to go past Zimbabwe's total by the end of the day now.

... SECOND INNINGS ...

A poor display of batting from the Zimbabwean batters as they have just managed to put up a total of 115 runs on the board. They were under the pump right from the word go, and never looked settled in the game. Innocent Kaia looked good for a moment but he lost his wicket, scoring 38 runs. They kept on losing a wicket whenever a partnership was brewing. Only four of their batters went into double digits, rest all of their batters scored in single digits.

Drinks! Zimbabwe have just not been able to deal with the spin and bounce Gudakesh Motie has got from this turf. They have been pretty poor with their shot selection as well and are starring down the barrel now. They are going to fall pretty short of the respectable first innings total here and would need their bowlers to deliver once this last wicket falls which is likely to happen anytime soon.

Right then, West Indies bowlers have done their job and that too really well. The onus is now on their batters to put up a mammoth total on the board and get a good lead. Zimbabwe bowlers will have to come up with something special here. Can they do it? To find out do join us for the second innings in a short while.

Zimbabwe, on the other hand, will be very disappointed with this batting effort, especially after the start they got. Innocent Kaia looked pretty solid and stitched decent partnerships with Tanunurwa Makoni and Chamu Chibhabha. However, once he Kaia departed in the 18th over, Zimbabwe just seemed to have lost their way and now have lost half of their side in the first session itself. They went from 48-1 to 68-5 and the skipper Craig Ervine need someone to stay out there with him in the middle

West Indies have bagged the opening session of this second Test match. They came out with more intent with the ball this morning and bowled with great discipline. It took them some time to break the opening stand but Alzarri Joseph provided that breakthrough in the 10th over and then Holder and Motie bowled briliantly and kept chipping in with wickets.

Drinks break. It has been a fascinating first hour of play. Both the teams have shown some great discipline and have played some classical-old Test cricket. West Indies pace bowlers have not found much help from the pitch but they have bowled to their plans and Joseph managed to finally get a breakthrough in his second spell. Kaia is looking good for the home side and they would hope that Chamu Chibhabha teams up nicely with him to build a big partnership here. Time for some spin now as Gudake

We are all ready for the start of the second Test! The West Indies players are out there in the middle. Innocent Kaia and Tanunurwa Makoni are the openers for Zimbabwe. The players now take knee in support of the BLM movement. We are done with that and now Alzarri Joseph will start the proceedings with a new red cherry. Here we go...

Kraigg Brathwaite, the skipper of West Indies says that they would have batted first and now have the job to do with the ball. Mentions that it was an all-round effort with batters and bowlers all doing well and feels that this pitch will turn a bit more. Informs that they have one changes with Shannon Gabriel coming in for Kemar Roach.

Craig Ervine, the skipper of Zimbabwe says that they will bat first. Tells that the pitch looks a bit more drier and there would be biit more turn in this game. Informs that they have few changes with Gudakesh Motie being unwell and couple of other changes. 

Zimbabwe (Playing XI) - Innocent Kaia, Tanunurwa Makoni, Chamu Chibhabha, Craig Ervine (C), Tafadzwa Tsiga (WK), Brandon Mavuta, Wellington Masakadza, Victor Nyauchi, Donald Tiripano (In place of Brad Evans), Milton Shumba (In place of Gary Ballance), Tanaka Chivanga (In place of Richard Ngarava). 

West Indies (Playing XI) - Kraigg Brathwaite (C), Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Raymon Reifer, Jermaine Blackwood, Kyle Mayers, Roston Chase, Joshua Da Silva (WK), Jason Holder, Alzarri Joseph, Gudakesh Motie, Shannon Gabriel (In place of Kemar Roach).

TOSS - The coin goes up in the air and Craig Ervine calls it right. Zimbabwe have decided to BAT first.

We are back for the West Indies innings. The umpires have made their way out in the middle. Zimbabwe players are seen in a huddle, near the ropes.

West Indies were excellent with the ball. Gudakesh Motie was undoubtedly the pick of the bowlers as he picked up seven wickets and this was his career best. Jason Holder chipped in two wickets whilst Alzarri Joseph has one in his kitty. West Indies will be hoping to go past Zimbabwe's total by the end of the day now.

... SECOND INNINGS ...

A poor display of batting from the Zimbabwean batters as they have just managed to put up a total of 115 runs on the board. They were under the pump right from the word go, and never looked settled in the game. Innocent Kaia looked good for a moment but he lost his wicket, scoring 38 runs. They kept on losing a wicket whenever a partnership was brewing. Only four of their batters went into double digits, rest all of their batters scored in single digits.

Drinks! Zimbabwe have just not been able to deal with the spin and bounce Gudakesh Motie has got from this turf. They have been pretty poor with their shot selection as well and are starring down the barrel now. They are going to fall pretty short of the respectable first innings total here and would need their bowlers to deliver once this last wicket falls which is likely to happen anytime soon.

Right then, West Indies bowlers have done their job and that too really well. The onus is now on their batters to put up a mammoth total on the board and get a good lead. Zimbabwe bowlers will have to come up with something special here. Can they do it? To find out do join us for the second innings in a short while.

Zimbabwe, on the other hand, will be very disappointed with this batting effort, especially after the start they got. Innocent Kaia looked pretty solid and stitched decent partnerships with Tanunurwa Makoni and Chamu Chibhabha. However, once he Kaia departed in the 18th over, Zimbabwe just seemed to have lost their way and now have lost half of their side in the first session itself.
