    20.6 leading edge taken at cover! Evans gets his second, he has snared both openers today. A soft dismissal because Evans angled the ball into the pads and Dhawan closed the face of the bat a bit too early and it led to a leading edge for the easiest of catches to Williams at cover 84/2
    14.6 And Rahul's stay in the middle ends. Evans roars in delight. Back of a length ball outside off, comes in just a touch. Rahul looks to punch that but gets an inside edge onto his stumps. A rusty innings from the Indian captain ends. 63/1
    49.1 Has Gill got enough on that? Nope and it is wicket No. 4 for Evans! Gill is being congratulated off the field by the Zimbabwe players as he walks off as that has been a top quality knock. He looks to tonk the length ball that is outside off over the fence but only gets more height than distance and finds long-off. 282/7
    42.1 Trapped in front? But Kishan seems to be run-out at the other end. Zimbabwe opt to take the lbw appeal against Gill upstairs, though. This was a length ball around off, Gill missed his flick and got it off the front pad to the off side. Replays show that Gill had an inside edge on that. Which means Kishan has to walk back. He had come down in search of a run but a direct hit at the bowler's end took him aback. End of the 140-run stand. 224/3
    42.6 Nip-backer cleans Hooda up! Hurled in on a length, he looks to drive it on the up and the ball sneaks in through bat and pad to hit the off bail. Two wickets in the over. 227/4
    45.6 Goes again but finds deep square leg with the whip. Ohh, the teaser of Samson's ability looked so good. Looked to flick the length ball over the on side and found Kaitano on the longer side of the field. That it went off the toe end didn't help matters. 256/5
    47.4 Holes out to long-off. Full and outside off, he looks to tonk one but finds Raza, who takes it safely. The bat turned in his hands and as a result, he didn't make good contact. 272/6
    49.3 Maiden ODI five-wicket haul for Evans and how well has he bowled today! Length ball around off and middle but the key was that he had taken pace off it. Deceived Thakur completely who ended up being way early into the shot and skying it high via the toe end. Nyauchi at mid-off keeps his eye on that as he runs to his right and pouches it. 286/8

    27.2 Kishan is confident that he's stumped Kaitano, Kuldeep is smiling as well. Kaitano came out of the crease to drive that far from his body into the covers. The ball pitched well outside off, it was the wrong'un, so beat the bat by a mile and Kishan stumped his easily 122/5
    2.3 A big inswinging yorker on off, India think it has hit Kaia's pad before his bat as he looks to dig it out. They don't get the decision for lbw in their favour and take it upstairs. Excellent review and it is three reds on Hawk-Eye! Kishan urged Rahul to go for the review and gets a huge cheer in the huddle. Chahar was pretty confident too. Good ball for starters as he set Kaia up with outswingers before getting this to sway back in. 7/1
    16.4 Axar has struck with his fourth ball and it's the big wicket of Williams! It's so plumb that Williams is n't reviewing this, he's walking back with his head falling back, eyes on the sky. Over the wicket, flat towards middle stump, and Williams is trapped right in front on the back foot 82/2
    17.5 thick, outer edge of the bat on the off side and KL Rahul gets under it easily. Zimbabwe are crumbling now as India get another wicket. It was short of length around off but Munyonga decided to drive on the up and in the air ending in an easy catch for Rahul running to his left from mid-off 84/3
    48.4 Shubman Gill take a bow! You cannot keep this young man out of the game today and Sikandar Raza has to walk back. Length ball, perhaps a knuckle ball, that he looks to heave over long-on. Fails to get the desired elevation. It was dying on fielder running in but Gill dives full length to pluck that inches off the ground. The smiles were tough to hide after that act. The Indians rightly go up to Raza after that fantastic knock. Is this a twist in the tale? 275/9
    26.1 sharp return catch and Axar takes his second! Chakabva had been showing some intent, he came down the pitch and pushed the length ball back, but in the air. And Axar went low to his left and natural side to grab it with both hands quickly 120/4
    32.1 Burl's aggression doesn't come off and he is disappointed and stands there in disbelief. Looks to charge down and play a cross-batted heave over mid-on off a length ball but ends up hitting it to Dhawan, who jumps and catches that. Hammer blow for Zimbabwe. 145/6
    35.5 Easy peasy for Gill! Tosses up the wrong one around off, Jongwe has to play at that. Lunges to block but gets a thick outside edge straight to slip, who takes it simply with a tumble. 169/7
    47.6 Struck in front? Given! Evans goes for the DRS straight away. Length ball on off, he misses the heave to the on side and misses it completely. Did it hit him in line? Is it too high? Hawk-Eye should confirm it all. Three reds and ZImbabwe lose Evans and a review, 273/8

    49.3 Right in the blockhole and that's curtains to the game and the series. Spears it full and straight on middle, Nyauchi goes back but fails to dig it out. It's a clean sweep for India, yet again, in Zimbabwe, thanks to this 13-run win. 276/10
