Gudakesh Motie took career-best Test figures on Sunday to help the West Indies dismiss Zimbabwe for 115 after lunch on the first day of the second Test at Bulawayo.

The 27-year-old Guyanese slow left-arm bowler took 7-37 to see Zimbabwe fold in just 40-5 overs.

Opener Innocent Kaia offered the greatest resistance to the West Indies bowling attack, making 38 in his 52-ball stay at the crease before he was dismissed by Jason Holder, who took 2-18.

After winning the toss and opting to bat, Zimbabwe lost five wickets for 70 runs from the 25 overs bowled in the pre-lunch session, the wickets shared between Alzarri Joseph, Holder and Motie.

In just over an hour and 15.5 overs the West Indies post lunch, Motie wreaked havoc starting with the dismissal of Craig Irvine for 22.

He was the only other batter to make double figures before Donald Tiripano pushed back briefly with an unbeaten 23 before Motie bowled Tanaka Chivanga for six to end Zimbabwe’s suffering.

Alzarri Joseph who started the ball rolling when he bowled opener Tanunurwa Makoni for a 24-ball duck with only 16 runs on the board, finished with figures of 1-29.
