West Indies paceman Shane Gabriel grabbed two wickets in his first two overs to stifle a quick start by Zimbabwe on the opening day of the second Test on Wednesday.
At lunch, Zimbabwe had reached 92-3. Gabriel came on as first change as Zimbabwe raced to 50 runs from the first eight overs and quickly applied the brakes with the wickets of openers Tino Mawoyo and Vusi Sibanda. Shane Shillingford also took a wicket in his first over, bowling Hamilton Masakadza.
