ক্রিস্টোফার মোফু c Kieran Powell b Roston Chase 33 (25)
OUT! Caught. Roston Chase to Christopher Mpofu. Off break half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed in the air under control to long on, by Powell.
Unfortunately the fun ends after Mpofu can't get enough elevation to beat the man at long on. He was jumping, hoping that the ball would go for six but not this time.
West Indies win by 117 runs and they go 1-0 up in the two match series. It has been a roller coaster day for the crowd after Zimbabwe started off incredibly strong in the first innings but then fell away after that. Hamilton Masakadza and Solomon Mire got a 99 run opening partnership and Brendan Taylor scored 73 on his return to Test cricket but there was too many soft dismissals. That will be the one thing that will disappoint the coaching staff as they had a real chance to take this game into a fifth day and then you never know what would have happened.
Devendra Bishoo finished the match with nine wickets and could be in with a chance of the man of the match, along with Shai Hope or Roston Chase. We are in the same venue for the next game on the 29th, join us then.
