Zimbabwe's top order struggled against the West Indies pace attack, but a 6th wicket partnership of 80 between Andy Pycroft and Andy Flower took them to 139/5 and hopes of a first innings lead.
A collapse of 5 wickets for 9 runs ended those hopes.
Courtney Walsh finished with 5-18 off 14.5 overs, a devastating performance, and was well backed by Kenny Benjamin with 3-46.
Disappointingly for Zimbabwe, after bowling West Indies out for 195 they had conceded a first innings lead of 47 on a pitch that would deteriorate.
Zimbabwe 1st Innings 148/10 All Out (Overs 48.5)
