Thu, Mar 21, '13

ROSEAU, DOMINICA - Veteran left-hander Shivnarine Chanderpaul fashioned his 28th Test century and climbed to eighth on the all-time list of run-scorers, while Chris Gayle posted his 15th Test hundred, as West Indies took a vice grip on the second Test against Zimbabwe here Thursday.

At the close of the second day at Windsor Park, West Indies had reached an imposing 382 for eight, a lead of 206 runs heading into Friday’s third day.

The 38-year old Chanderpaul made 108, an innings that propelled him past Sri Lanka’s Mahela Jayawardene on the all-time list with 10 830 runs in his 149th Test.
