Zimbabwe vs West Indies, 3rd Match at Bulawayo, Nov 19 2016 - Match Result

unbelievable scenes at Queens. What a match! Zimbabwe are leaping in joy an why wouldn't they! This has been a remarkable fightback. But let's not forget to give credit to the bowler. What a superb delivery under pressure. Fires it very full and outside off, just around the line forcing the batsman to reach out. Holder can't make contact but Carter sets off for the run from the non-striker's end. The wicketkeeper has a shy at the stumps and Carter is caught short. An inch outside and it could have been a wide. A perfect last delivery and full marks to Tiripano

chance at deep square leg, did it carry to Chibhabha? It was a legcutter on a short of good length and Carter pulls it. It seems like it carried to the fielder who makes a brilliant effort s he dives forward. Unfortunately for Zimbabwe, he does not manage to grab it. But a superb effort as he did not allow the ball to go to the boundary. Those catches are always tricky and it is easy to miss the catch and let the ball escape from in between. Scores level now.

back of a length, outside off, looks to play across the line but it brushes the thigh and goes fine of short third man

oh, what terrible luck. Run out at the non-striker's end. It was a fuller ball and Holder makes good connection on the forward push and the ball goes on the bounce towards the bowler who tries to stop it with outstretched hands. But it goes off the finger and crashes into the stumps with Nurse out of the crease as he was backing away. What drama!

kind of a needless shot with three needed off five. It was a slower ball from Tiripano. Legcutter on a length and Brathwaite tries to swat it with a flat bat. It was a low percentage shot and he skews it to long-on, much to the delight of a large section of the crowd

fuller ball outside off, drills it to sweeper cover. Singles will do it for West Indies

oh, yes, they can. Too predictable from Mpofu. Started off with intelligent variations in pace but resorted to the slower ball tactic too often. It was another slow and short ball but this time Brathwaite wouldn't be foxed. Was waiting for it and lays into the pull shot as the ball soars over the deep midwicket fence. Deathly silence at the ground

short of a length outside off, Holder swats it with a flat bat to long-off. 10 needed from 7 now. Can West Indies get a boundary to bring it down to run-a-ball in the last over?

short ball, it was another slower bouncer and Brathwaite can't get hold of the pull shot. Gets it off the top edge and on the bounce to deep midwicket

short of a length, fetches it from outside off and swats it away to deep midwicket

short and wide, looks to back away and cut but there wasn't too much pace on that delivery, just 125 kph. Doesn't bounce much as well and Holder does not make contact

short of a length ball, pulls it but there is a man at deep midwicket and it will just be one

tucked to midwicket

ooh, almost. Looks for a flick and closes the face of his bat and ends up chipping it straight back just over the bowler who is unable to get to it. But that was mighty close

oh, bowled him, and more drama ensues. It was a nothing shot, really. He made room and looked to swipe across the line to the leg side but seemed like a lazy shot. Credit to the bowler though for attacking the stumps and bowling a near-yorker. Powell can't make bat meet ball which crashes into the atumps

went for a pull shot to this short ball but gets the timing wrong and skews it uppishly straight down the pitch

flat ball outside off, comes forward and thumps it over long-off. That was a clean hit, powerfully struck

and Brathwaite's stubborn resistance comes to an end. He comes down the track and looks to go over long-off. But the ball isn't quite full enough and he does not get to the pitch of it. Lofts it straight down after making room but doesn't get it off the middle and hits it straight down the throat of long-off who snaffles it without discomfort. Everybody at the ground rejoices. Could there be a late twist to this?

well-directed short ball, Powell swings hard and gets the pull off the top edge past the leaping wicketkeeper to the fine leg fence. It was well over the keeper, so was never a chance. But a lucky boundary nonetheless

short of a length delivery, Brathwaite gets leg side of the ball and responds with a flat-batted whip straight past the bowler who gets down but can't stop it. The ball goes to long-off
