BULAWAYO – Roston Chase was within touching distance of a fourth Test hundred as West Indies carved out a lead of over 400 runs to increase their stranglehold on the opening cricket Test against Zimbabwe, on the third day at Queens Sports Club here yesterday.
The right-hander was unbeaten on 91 at the close, leading a resilient batting display from the Caribbean side that saw them to 369 for eight – a lead of 429 runs.
Opener Kraigg Brathwaite buttressed the Windies effort by fashioning his 14th Test half-century with a battling 86 while the classy Shai Hope and tail-ender Devendra Bishoo both scored 44 and Kyle Hope, 43.
Leg-spinner Graeme Cremer once again led the attack with three for 111 while seamer Kyle Jarvis (2-66) and Sean Williams (2-90) both ended with two wickets apiece. (CMC)
