Two slips in place as Bhuvneshwar steams in..
Welcome back.. The Indians troop out and are followed by the two openers..
Rahane then completed his 10th ODI fifty, while Vijay registered his first. Chamu Chibhabha found Rahane's leading egde in his second over to end the 112-run opening stand. Vijay continued to play his shots but holed out in the deep looking for some big runs. Ambati Rayudu was well set for a big innings, but Sikandar Raza had him caught at deep mid-wicket as he tried to hit a maximum. The hosts then pulled things back by picking up wickets at regular intervals, but a cameo from Stuart Binny helped India go past 270. Zimbabwe used as many as 8 bowlers and Neville Madziva was the pick of the them, as he registered his career-best figures by scalping four wickets. The pitch is good to bat on. Can the hosts hunt down 272 and keep the series alive? Join us back for the run chase at 13:15 local.
After winning the toss, Zimbabwe once again asked India to bat first. Although the new-ball bowlers did not get the ball to move around like the first game, they bowled a tight line and forced both Ajinkya Rahane and Murali Vijay to begin on a cautious note. Once the ball got older, both played their shots and upped the ante. In the process, the duo recorded India's highest ever opening stand in Harare, surpassing the previous best of 99 between Tendulkar and Sehwag.

The new-look Indian side are slowly getting into the groove. After snatching victory from the jaws of defeat in the first ODI, they were more professional and comprehensive in this ODI, which makes the third ODI a dead-rubber. Join us for that game on Tuesday. Until then, take care and Cya!
Vijay: "It's a great opportunity for me. I was not striking the ball well, but happy that I stuck it out. Disappointed not to get a hundred. It was a bad shot. I am working on my bowling. The wicket was much better and was on the slower side."
Murali Vijay is the Man of the Match for his 95-ball 72.
Rahane: "We were looking at 280-290, we got close to that. Like I said, we needed to bat well as a unit. The wicket was a lot easier in the first innings, but got much more slower in the second innings. So, it became easier for us as we have experienced spinners. The bowlers were really up to the mark and fielding is something where we give our 100%. Overall a good performance and I am happy for the boys."
Chigumbura: "Losing three wickets in the first 11 overs was not good. We lost the game there. Something we have to work on in the next game. It was a much better wicket compared to the first game. I thought it was a chaseable score. Every game is important for us and hopefully we can play well on Tuesday."
He had a good share of luck, dropped twice, but was eventually castled by the impressive Axar Patel, for 20. A mix-up cost Chibhabha his wicket, for 70 and the rest of the chase petered out. There were several positives for India. Bhuvneshwar was his tidy stuff while the spin twins - Harbhajan Singh and Axar Patel - showed exemplary control and guile during their spells. The hosts eventually ended at 209, losing by 62 runs. This was India's 447th ODI win, putting them on par with Pakistan - and only behind Australia.
A straightforward victory for the Indians and they have won the series 2-0 with a match in hand. Zimbabwe never got going in the chase, losing Vusi Sibanda, Hamilton Masakadza and Elton Chigumbura in quick succession. The back was well and truly broken. The other opener Chamu Chibhabha showed some resistance. Treating the bowling on merit, he pounced on anything loose from the Indian bowlers - which were very few during the entire length of the match. The hosts were further hamstrung by the injury to Sean Williams. The southpaw - who left the field midway through India's batting, never looked in any sort of comfort - during his entire stay in the middle.

Bhuvneshwar to Chigumbura, out Caught by Rahane!! That's a stunning catch from Rahane at first slip. A huge wicket for India. Bhuvneshwar dropped one slightly shorter and just outside off, gets it to rise steeply on the batsman.
