Zimbabwe made a bright start with a 99-run opening partnership before Hamilton Masakadza (57) and Solomon Mire (47) lost their wickets in quick succession, followed by Craig Ervine and Sean Williams to go to tea on 4-159.
Brandan Taylor (73), recalled to the side for the series after an absence of three years, provided some stout resistance, but the home side's hopes of victory were ended when he was run out as the eighth wicket to fall.
