- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR34.6 mammoth stand finally ends! And Gumbie's luck finally runs out. He charges down the track to smash Kenjige over midwicket but runs past a good length ball on sixth stump and Monank takes the bails off. 216/213.1 full on leg stump, slogs this toward Jahangir at deep square leg but it goes straight up rather than going deep distance wise. Jahangir settles under this 15 yards inside the rope looking a touch nervous with all the time in the world to think about it. But he reaches forward and takes it on his knees bending forward. 56/148.4 The Williams epic comes to an end! Length ball on eighth stump, slaps this with a flat bat to Kenjiige kneeling three yards inside the rope at long-off who takes this coolly. Paradkar breathes a sigh of relief. Williams was running out of steam during the last 10 overs or so cramping up. He ends with a career-best, and then some, helping his side set numerous records today. 387/642.3 Raza gets greedy! But who can blame him going for the scoop with 400 in the crosshairs. Fullish length on fifth stump, shuffles across his stumps trying to scoop this over fine leg to bring up a half-century and keep the score speeding along in fourth gear but he feathers this through to Monank for a simple catch behind the stumps. 304/347.4 Burl falls short of equaling the fastest ODI fifty by AB de Villiers! He was trying to smash Jessy for six to bring up the landmark but instead miscues this leg stump half-volley tamely to Nisarg at deep midwicket, who runs 15 yards to his left to take a catch on the run in stride 10 yards in from the rope. 385/448.2 half-volley on seventh stump, flays this flat toward Jahangir at cover sweeper. He comes in off the rope misjudging this before recovering and leaping up high to snatch this before it carries over for six. He lands a yard inside the rope before getting up for a few fist pumps. Theatrical effort but gets the wicket in the end. 386/5Extras7 (b 4, lb 2, w 1)TOTAL408/6 (50 Overs, RR: 8.16)Fall of wickets: 1-56 (Innocent Kaia, 13.1 ov), 2-216 (Joylord Gumbie, 34.6 ov), 3-304 (Sikandar Raza, 42.3 ov), 4-385 (Ryan Burl, 47.4 ov), 5-386 (Luke Jongwe, 48.2 ov), 6-387 (Sean Williams, 48.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.1 Corker of a delivery! Hits the hard length and gets the ball to rise steeply off the deck, he slinks back and cannot get on top of it, the ball just kissed the outside edge and Gumbie does the rest, he pouches it comfortably at shoulder height as Zimbabwe draw first blood! This was hurled at a lovely line with a hint of movement, and he is bowling at serious pace! 1/14.5 Oh my goodness! Deceives him with change in line, banged in a touch short and it nips back sharply from outside off, takes the inside edge as he goes hard at it and Gumbie once again gladly gobbles it up, diving to his left and plucking it out of thin air! A rash hoick through the off side and USA find themselves in big trouble. It was sent upstairs to check if it was a clean catch, it certainly is and Modani has to take the long walk back into the pavilion. This Zimbabwe bowling attack proving way too hot to handle for USA top-order 12/25.6 Another one bites the dust! You can't keep Sean Williams out of the game, pockets the catch low down at mid-on as he chips this hard length delivery and didn't get all of it. USA in complete disarray here! Williams charges in and dived forward to snag this beautifully 16/39.4 Pulls his length back, nips this past the outside edge, gets some lateral movement and good bounce. That's a terrible botch up in the middle, last thing USA needed was a run-out. Keeper shows good presence of mind and pings a throw to Evans who dislodges the bails at the non-striker's end and Jones is not even in the picture. USA in dire straits! 44/410.6 Floats it up on a length, pitched up and the ball straightens just enough to beat his defence, he goes for the sweep and misses the line as the ball grips. He is adjudged lbw, looked stone dead, no problems for the umpire to raise the dreaded finger! 45/69.6 Unbelievable! Comedy of errors out there as there is another run-out! Horrible mix-up once again as he steers this down to point and was not looking at the non-striker who was already halfway down the pitch and didn't stop. Both batters at the striker's end and it's Shayan Jahangir who goes without troubling the scorers. Total chaos out there as USA stare into the abyss 44/517.5 Edged and taken! Back of a length, that's a perfect line and he finds the edge, Gumbie does the rest. Jongwe wheels away into the arms of his converging teammates. Paradkar slashes at it, playing away from his body, ball got enough seam movement as he induces an error 75/814.6 Tossed up on a length, it held its line on middle and rips through the stumps! Raza is absolutely elated he gets his first wicket and has produced the first bit of magic today. It was a searing googly from back of the hand and it bounced steeply as well, he was back to defend and missed it completely 61/723.3 Madhevere holds a nifty catch at sweeper position, came charging from the deep, tracks the ball from the bat, through the air, towards him and then into his hand, couldn't clear deep extra cover and mistimed the shot 97/925.1 Tossed up right up to the toes, plants his front leg and executes the sweep well but finds the fielder at square leg who makes no mistake, shows great presence of mind, sharp throw to Evans at non-striker's end and he quickly whips off the bails to seal the deal for Zimbabwe. They have completely dominated the proceedings and won by the second biggest margin ever in ODIs! Old hand Sean Williams took the game away with a mammoth 174 which was laced with 21 fours and five sixes 104/10Extras15 (lb 5, w 10)TOTAL104 all out (25.1 Overs, RR: 4.13)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Steven Taylor, 2.1 ov), 2-12 (Sushant Modani, 4.5 ov), 3-16 (Monank Patel, 5.6 ov), 4-44 (Aaron Jones, 9.4 ov), 5-44 (Shayan Jahangir, 9.6 ov), 6-45 (Gajanand Singh, 10.6 ov), 7-61 (Nisarg Patel, 14.6 ov), 8-75 (Abhishek Paradkar, 17.5 ov), 9-97 (Jasdeep Singh, 23.3 ov), 10-104 (Usman Rafiq, 25.1 ov)
