    Right then, more or less an eventful day of Test cricket ends with West Indies taking the early lead in the game. We still have four days of cricket to come and the weather forecast for Day 2 also includes a bit of rain in the afternoon. Hopefully, we do get more play in on Day 2 than we did on Day 1. Join us for the second day of the first Test between Zimbabwe and West Indies on Sunday with play scheduled to begin half an hourly early at 1 pm IST (7.30 am GMT). You can join us early though for the build-up. Cheers!

    Update 7.55 pm IST (2.25 pm GMT) - The inevitable has happened and play has been abandoned on Day 1! Well, a rain-marred Day 1 of the first Test between Zimbabwe and West Indies comes to an end without any play possible for the entirety of the final session. Before rain showed up though, the Windies had just started to score a bit more freely with both openers notching up half tons. Kraigg Brathwaite and Tagenarine Chanderpaul remained unbeaten on 55 each with the score being 112/0. Just like the first session, the second session too was a toil for the Zimbabwean bowlers but there were signs of spin playing a role later in the game. Having said that, the wicket-taking opportunities were once again negligible and it was a pretty comfortable outing for the Windies openers.

    Update 7.34 pm IST (2.04 pm GMT) - What a bummer! RAIN IS BACK and so are all the covers. Our joy short-lived and now it's increasingly looking impossible to have any play today. Even if the rain seizes, the light is going to be an issue. Stay tuned and stay hopeful.

    Update 7.29 pm IST (1.59 pm GMT) - There are some promising signs and we might finally get to see some cricket after all the delay. The covers are completely off and there is a roller being used to dry the outfield. The umpires continue to stay out in the middle and assess the conditions.

    Update 7.17 pm IST (1.47 pm GMT) - Currently, it isn't raining in Bulawayo and the conditions have become a bit brighter but the covers are still intact. The groundsmen are out in the middle and the umpires walk out as well to have an inspection. It looks like they are once again peeling the layers off one by one after having a chat with the umpires. Stay tuned as there might be an official update regarding the fate of the day's play soon.

    Update 6.47 pm IST (1.17 pm GMT) - Oh, no! Just when it seemed that the covers were fully coming off, the groundstaff bring out an extra layer of covers onto the pitch. This means that probably there's more rain on the horizon and that's not the news cricketing fans wanted to hear. The possibility of any more play on Day 1 seems unlikely if the conditions stay as it is but let's hope for the best. We will keep you posted with the latest updates.

    Update 6.24 pm IST (12.54 pm GMT) - There is some good news as the rain seems to have stopped. The ground though seems to have plenty of water on it and the covers are slowly being peeled off. The full force of the groundsmen is on the field and they will now do their best to try and get the field ready for play before the end of the day. The light will be another concern for the umpires as it is still a bit gloomy out there in the middle. Fingers crossed. Stay tuned as we bring you further updates.

    Update 6.08 pm IST (12.38 pm GMT) - The rain looks to have settled into a light drizzle at the moment. The sky has gotten a bit brighter as well and hopefully, we can get to see some cricketing action soon. Stay tuned for more updates.

    Update 5.45 pm IST (12.15 pm GMT) - The news from the ground is that Tea has been officially taken. And, while the wait for the rain to stop continues, there is some other cricketing news as well. Perth Scorchers have defeated Brisbane Heat by 5 wickets in a gut-wrenching final over to retain their Big Bash League title and claim their fifth trophy overall. Needing 176 runs for victory, Ashton Turner played a crucial knock and then Nick Hobson and Cooper Connolly combined for a match-winning stand to send the home crowd into ecstasy. Stick around for further updates.

    Update 5.39 pm IST (12.09 pm GMT) - Here comes the rain with full force! The umpires get together and have decided to take the players off the ground. The groundsmen are rushing forward with the covers. it's getting heavier and heavier now. More covers are coming on. Stay tuned, we will keep you posted.

    We are back for the post-Lunch session on Day 1! The umpires are back out in the middle and so are the players of Zimbabwe. Kraigg Brathwaite and Tagenarine Chanderpaul are all set to resume their stay on the crease. It will be Brad Evans to start proceedings with the ball here.

    ... DAY 1, SESSION 2 ...

    Right then, the sun is just starting to shine a bit brighter in Bulawayo and the overcast conditions have subsided. With the early platform laid down, West Indies will look to score a bit more freely in the afternoon session and get a good grasp on the game. Zimbabwe will hope to pick up a few wickets and there is a chance of some rain as well. Hopefully, it doesn't affect the game much and we can get a full day of action squeezed in. Join us for the post-Lunch session at 4.10 pm IST (10.40 am GMT).

    Zimbabwe started the first session positively as both the new-ball bowlers, Richard Ngarava and Victor Nyauchi kept the lines tight and didn't let the West Indies openers get away. They however failed to create many (any) wicket-taking opportunities and with not much on offer from the surface, the pacers were left a bit frustrated. Both Richard and Nyauchi bowled well in their second spells but once again failed to get the breakthrough. They will be hoping that the spinners play a role in the following session and get the breakthrough they need.

    A fairly evenly contested first session of Test cricket comes to an end but it will be the visiting side, West Indies who will be the happier of the two teams heading into the Lunch interval. The conditions were overcast but the pitch didn't have much in it for the seamers and both the Windies openers, Kraigg Brathwaite and Tagenarine Chanderpaul just kept their patience levels up and ensured that they went into the break with all 10 wickets still intact. Kraigg did play a few shots here and there but did look a little unsure at times as well.

    Drinks break. As expected, it's been a slow start to this Test match. West Indies have adopted a cautious approach against the new ball. To be honest, the new nut has not done much and credit to the Zimbabwean seamers for bowling disciplined lines. It's looking like a good batting strip but a few balls have stayed low already. The tourists would have seen that and will aim to bat long and bat big to bat the hosts out of this Test. That said, let's not get ahead of ourselves and see what happens in the next hour.

    no run, Richard begins with a full delivery, in the zone outside off and it goes away from the right-hander with the angle. Kraigg Brathwaite has a good look before making a leave.

    Done with the pre-game formalities and we are now all set for the play to begin. The two teams are waiting on the sidelines raring to go but first, both sets of players will take a knee to show their support for the BLM movement. The umpires are out in the middle and so are the players of Zimbabwe. It will be Kraigg Brathwaite to open the batting for West Indies alongside Tagenarine Chanderpaul. Richard Ngarava has the new ball in hand and is raring to go. Let's play...

    We are a few minutes away from the start of the Test match. But first, the two sides will line up for their respective national anthems. It will be the West Indies' national anthem first, followed by the national anthem of Zimbabwe.

    The Zimbabwean skipper, Craig Ervine says that they would have batted first as well and it is a bit dry which means it will turn later on. Adds that the boys are feeling good and they have had a good week of preparation. Mentions that they have got five debutants for this game and with big names missing out, it is a great opportunity for the young guys to perform. Says that it has been a bit wet over the last few days and will look to pick up early wickets with the new ball.

    Kraigg Brathwaite, the captain of West Indies, says that they want to put up a big total on the board. Adds that they had a good preparation and are ready to go.

    West Indies (Playing XI) - Kraigg Brathwaite (C), Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Raymon Reifer, Jermaine Blackwood, Kyle Mayers, Roston Chase, Joshua Da Silva (WK), Jason Holder, Alzarri Joseph, Gudakesh Motie and Kemar Roach.

    Zimbabwe (Playing XI) - Innocent Kaia (On debut), Tanunurwa Makoni (On debut), Chamu Chibhabha, Craig Ervine (C), Gary Ballance (On debut for Zimbabwe), Tafadzwa Tsiga (On debut) (WK), Brandon Mavuta, Wellington Masakadza, Brad Evans (On debut), Victor Nyauchi and Richard Ngarava.

    TOSS - West Indies have won the toss and they will BAT first.
