- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.4 he edges behind this time and Samson grabs it with one hand while diving to his right! Siraj gets the first breakthrough. Shapes the ball away from length on off stump just enough to square up Kaitano a bit, he edges it behind and Samson was going towards his left initially but the swing and edge makes the ball go to his right and he quickly changes direction to grab it with his glove 20/111.1 a sound down the leg side, this time Samson is more confident with the appeal and the finger goes up! Thakur and wickets are never far from each other. He bangs it in short, it's angling down the leg side, Kaia pulls but only manages a faint edge down leg and Samson does well to take it comfortably with both hands 27/212.4 edged behind and Madhevere is gone! Some really accurate bowling from India. Prasidh pitches it just around off, forces the batter to play at it, and the ball nips away just a hint to kiss the outside edge, Regulation catch for Samson 31/411.6 edged to second slip! Thakur takes his second wicket in three overs. A lot like how Raza got out in the opening ODI - pressing forward a bit outside off for the length ball, playing inside the line and the ball takes a thick edge. The ball flew to Gill and he took it over his head with both hands 29/320.6 Well-judged catch from Kishan running back to end Raza's stay. Raza would be kicking himself. He knows that there is nobody behind square on the off side outside the ring. Read the ball well in a way. It was the wrong'un on a length. Backed away to exploit the off side with a cut but ended up being off balanced and that resulted in a top edge. Kishan did well to take a couple of steps back from backward point to snaffle it. Raza didn't look at ease against spin today and falls cheaply. 72/527.6 Massive, massive wicket for Hooda. And it's the main man Williams walking. A wrong shot from the Zimbabwe veteran and it costs him. He had perhaps decided yesterday that he wanted to slog-sweep it over square leg. He went through it despite it being a length ball. Didn't make good contact and it is an easy catch to Dhawan at deep backward square leg, who celebrates it with a trademark thigh-slap. 105/632.3 hits the stumps! First runs and then a wicket from Shardul Thakur, where have we heard that before? Thakur believed in himself and bowled the same ball again, on length and going for the stumps, and Jongwe too believed in his shot: he backed away and went for another drive. But Jongwe missed and Thakur didn't. The bails go flying! 129/736.6 chopped on! Axar gets his first of the day. Outside off around fifth stump line, Evans rocks back for the late cut but only manages an inside edge which rattles his stumps and he looks at his stumps with disappointment 149/837.2 a catch just out of the fielder's reach, but he runs out the other batter! A wild swing this time from Burl, the leading edge goes very high down the ground, three fielders converge, and it lands almost right in between them with mid-off almost getting his hands to it. He quickly picks the ball up and fires a throw at the keeper's end 156/938.1 oh goodness! Another run-out when all these batters have to do is try and bat as much as possible. Burl is on strike first ball, he punches this short of length ball through the covers, and he should either take two or none. He hares across for the first, Chivanga doesn't want a second, but Burl turns around quickly even though the ball has gone straight to deep cover and Burl and Chivanga are nearly face to face now near the keeper's end. Chivanga tries to make a second out of it, but the throw is good enough and Prasidh takes the bails off 161/10Extras18 (lb 4, w 14)TOTAL161 all out (38.1 Overs, RR: 4.21)Fall of wickets: 1-20 (Takudzwanashe Kaitano, 8.4 ov), 2-27 (Innocent Kaia, 11.1 ov), 3-29 (Regis Chakabva, 11.6 ov), 4-31 (Wessly Madhevere, 12.4 ov), 5-72 (Sikandar Raza, 20.6 ov), 6-105 (Sean Williams, 27.6 ov), 7-129 (Luke Jongwe, 32.3 ov), 8-149 (Brad Evans, 36.6 ov), 9-156 (Victor Nyauchi, 37.2 ov), 10-161 (Tanaka Chivanga, 38.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.3 Harare roars, Chivanga roars and Dhawan's out of here! A perfect fast bowler's response. Bangs it short and into Dhawan, taking him by surprise. He looks to pull but it gets big on him and he ends up skying in. Kaia takes a couple of steps to his right from square leg and gobbles it up. India two down pretty early. 47/21.4 Is that curtains for Rahul? Holdstock raises the dreaded finger and Rahul is off. He has a long chat with Dhawan before taking it upstairs. Nyauchi spears it full around off, aiming at the off pole. Rahul gets forward and looks to work it away, with his head falling to the off side. He misses and the ball strikes him right in front. Three reds. India lose a wicket as well as a review. 5/113.6 Catching practice for deep third and Jongwe has another! Short and wide outside off, it was there for the cut. Gill hops and looks to slash but gets a top edge straight down Evans' throat. Can Zimbabwe spring a surprise from here? 97/411.4 Chopped on! Jongwe leaps high in celebration. Spears it full and outside off, Kishan reaches at it for the drive away from the body. All he manages is to play it on. Strange little innings from Kishan ends, India three down. 83/323.3 yorks him out! Sikandar Raza is thrilled and he punches the air in delight. It may not change the outcome of the mach but Raza is delighted that he has successfully nailed a slow yorker on off stump which Hooda didn't have an answer for 153/5Extras20 (b 1, nb 1, w 18)TOTAL167/5 (25.4 Overs, RR: 6.5)Fall of wickets: 1-5 (KL Rahul, 1.4 ov), 2-47 (Shikhar Dhawan, 6.3 ov), 3-83 (Ishan Kishan, 11.4 ov), 4-97 (Shubman Gill, 13.6 ov), 5-153 (Deepak Hooda, 23.3 ov)
