They will definitely declare

They will definitely declare

But when? If they rack up a lead of 300+ with only 30 overs left plus rain it’s a bit pointless. I’m hoping they will go for the win and set something exciting up

Got a feeling they will bat for 10 to 15 overs after lunch. Get 250 plus on the board with 45 overs.. that's if it doesn't rain

Pretty much but i think they might aim to push for 280 or 300. It will be interesting to see how Zim will go about bazball it for the win?

Houghton said last week before the match that he’d rather lose whilst trying to win than just spend time trying to desperately scrape a draw.

Did someone say Wellington never bowls a bad ball?

Bowled plenty in this match

Why even think of declaring. Best case scenario is a draw worst case is West Indies putting 250 by lunch tomorrow and bowling us 39 all out. A bit cocky from Zim this.

I never understand declaring. Why instead of declaring trying to hit berserk? If you are lucky you get boundaries, when luck vanishes it's wicket: same you get while declaring.

Wasakadza really putting the spanners in West Indies ambitions here. Just wondering what will comes first West Indies declaration or the forecasted downpour.

Giving your bowlers more overs to get the opposition all out.

271 in 49 overs to win is very tasty, I think both us and them will fancy a chance at winning this game. Bazball approach from DH which is brilliant to see.
