Zimbabwe 114 for 3 (Kaia 59*, Brathwaite 1-5, Motie 1-25) trail West Indies 447 for 6 dec (Chanderpaul 207*, Brathwaite 182, Mavuta 5-140) by 333 runs
With 99 overs lost to rain and West Indies managing to score just 221 runs in 89 overs across the first two days, they needed to up the rate to have any chance of forcing a result, and Brathwaite took on the charge. He was proactive from the get-go and brought about a number of shots which are otherwise against his naturally defensive style of play.
He struck Richard Ngarava for three successive fours in the third over of the day before slamming Victor Nyauchi for two more. Brathwaite hit six fours in his first 16 balls of the day, and soon brought up a third score in excess of 150 in Test cricket. He was much more agricultural in his shot-making, often moving in his crease and looking for gaps on the on side, with Zimbabwe employing a seven-two off-side heavy field.
