Zimbabwe vs West Indies, 2nd Test - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Nyauchi to Motie, out Caught by Brandon Mavuta!! In the air and taken! Nyauchi has five! Banged in short on middle, Motie backs away a touch before pulling it away towards deep square leg. He doesn't time it well enough and Mavuta only has to run in a few paces before taking it safely. Zimbabwe will be extremely pleased with their work this morning.

Nyauchi to Holder, out Caught by Tafadzwa Tsiga!! Nyauchi strikes first ball! Or has he? The front foot does look dicey but maybe, just maybe, he has a fraction behind the line. It's a big wicket too as Holder is the one gone. Chases a widish delivery that just straightens a bit and he pushes at it with no footwork. Thin edge through to Tsiga who does the rest.

Gets rushed by the short ball but he doesn't back down and tries to take it on. Miscues the pull straight up and for a moment, he'd have expected this to clear mid-wicket. However, Makoni is sharp as he treks back with his back to the ball and he held his nerve under presure superbly. Nice little period here for Zimbabwe.
