Great effort by Raza & PJ !!!

4/46 and they take us to a lead and into a 5th day that’s Test cricket.

Moor has been the most surprising in this match ‘labelled’ a slogger and ‘useless’ by some he’s shown he might have a perfect temperament for Test cricket.

Test cricket is a funny game and things can change very quickly so hopefully the guys can kick in tomorrow and bat to at least half way through session two.

The pitch is deteriorating a bit but not enough to be called ‘unplayable’ by any means.

It will be interesting if Zimbabwe has a lead of around 180 and West Indies have 40 overs to bat will they go for victory

If that was the scenario, they would DEFINITELY just block out.

Pitch has become too slow. 120-130 kph pacers have nothing to do in this track anymore.

Opportunities are with pacers with 145+ kph as bowl is getting reversed and with the spinners if they controll their pace, they needs cracks in the pitch to be open up.

250+ could be competative!!!!

Really brilliant batting by Raza and Moor. Watched the match on tv yesterday night and these two never gave any chances to WI bowlers.
But disappointed with BTs innings. BT had much control on the second innings of the first test where he was able to play his normal shots and entertaining 'upper cuts'. But this time, it was a horror show to watch.

Just watching Gabriel bowl just makes me wonder if we will ever produce a quick like that. He is hitting 147kph easily. Even bowled 150kph yesterday. Amazing stuff
