Been trying to keep away from the forums to avoid jinxing Chakabva but now that he has made his half century and a result has been secured, I guess I can relax. :D

Neutrals writing on cricinfo:

Jon: "The art of saving a test is not only in chasing a huge total but in also avoiding offering a cheap total. In that light, this Chakabva innings more than makes up for the drops... Its a Very Very Special innings (with emphasis on VVS). Cremer is playing a Dravidian innings!!!!! "

This was over an hour and a half ago when he was on 30.

At what point do the teams shake hands?

I'm trying to figure out if Chakabva has enough time for a ton without going for any big shots.

He has time if Cremer doesn't agree to end it.

Surely Cremer will let Chakabva go for the ton before shaking hands?

The West Indies will be regretting scoring 79 off 50 overs when they are clearly the better team. Wouldn't expect that playing against minnows. They would have easily won if that didn't happen

First loose shot of the innings from Cremer then.

WI just taking the piss now. Powell having a bowl... maybe Chakabva will have a crack now.

No. When Price took us within a whisker of victory but we had to settle for a draw.
