    34.2 Short and going across him, Masakadza pulls it out to cow corner and they go for two. And Gumbie is in trouble! The throw was a good one and Young did well to collect it high and then take the bails off at the non-striker's end. Gumbie put in a dive at full stretch, but he was still caught short and the run-out ends a dogged effort that sees him fall six short of his highest ODI score. That was good fielding by McBrine in the deep, sweeping in from wide long-on and getting a good throw in 167/8
    1.4 Outside edge and he's gone! Balbirnie makes no mistake at second slip as Kamunhukamwe pokes at this length ball outside off. Ireland have an early wicket again! 2/1
    13.1 Is he run-out? That's a direct hit and Kaitano is walking! Gumbie steers this to backward point where Tector first fumbles. They hesitate but decide to steal a single, but Tector is alert to it as he collects it on the second go, turns and throws down the stumps at the striker's end! Zimbabwe had done so well to keep Ireland at bay but have now lost a wicket to a run-out 45/2
    14.4 Campher traps his man! It's a length ball on middle and off that straightens after pitching and Kaia can't get bat on it. He is struck in front and Ireland have two quick wickets! 54/3
    27.1 Huge moment in the match! It's a short ball from Campher, rolled his fingers on the side of the ball, almost like a leg cutter, Raza looked for the big pull shot towards the shorter legside boundary, but just doesn't get enough bat on it. Dockrell completes the job at deep square leg. 123/4
    27.3 A defining over from Campher, as he now sends Madande's off-stump cartwheeling! Hit a good length on off stump, Madande stays back and gets beaten on the inside as he looked to defend it, and then hears the death rattle 123/5
    31.1 And Hume strikes! Not his best delivery, but he won't complain. It's full and straight on leg, Jongwe skips out to flick it aerially in front of square. George Dockrell runs to his left from deep square leg and does well to not over-run the ball. Takes it reverse-cupped at chest height and Jongwe's cameo comes to an end 147/6
    33.2 Hume has his third! Almost an action replay of the last dismissal. This is full around off, Mavuta flicks it, this time very square and straight to Dockrell at deep square leg and he takes a sitter 157/7
    37.6 Holes out at long-on and that will be the end of an entertaining knock from Masakadza. Campher gets a four-wicket haul. It's a length ball on off and he looks to go down the ground, and it goes high, but not long enough and Mark Adair makes no mistake 188/9

    39.6 Yorked! Hume picks up his first ODI four-for as he fires in a rocket on middle and off as Chivanga has a mighty swing at it. Has his arm up in celebration as Zimbabwe are bowled out for 197 - their highest score in this series 197/10

    2.3 Edged behind! And Stirling walks immediately! Muzarabani bowls it on a length outside off with the ball seaming away. Stirling pushes at it, looking to drive and gets a thin edge. Goes high to the keeper's right but he makes no mistake, taking it high above his right shoulder. Zimbabwe have their first breakthrough! 12/1
    16.3 What a stunner at midwicket! It's a length ball on middle and off and Campher goes back to clip it away and Masakadza dives to his right to hold on to that and send back the dangerous-looking allrounder for 40 82/2
    30.5 Raza takes the catch! Might have been a slightly slower one from Jongwe, Tector looked for the big slog towards the legside, but gets a big leading edge that goes a mile in the air, Raza judges it nicely at midwicket, and then takes a nice catch tumbling down to his left 145/3
