West Indies build healthy lead

THE West Indies built a healthy first innings lead of 175 runs in their second and final Test against hosts Zimbabwe, but rains prematurely curtailed the third session of day two yesterday.

Zimbabwe had started to enjoy themselves out in the field after Victor Nyauchi took two wickets from three balls to slow down the West Indies charge in the afternoon.

After resuming on an overnight score of 133 for 4, the tourists ended the day on 290 for 8 when the umpires called for the covers.
