32.5 - Bumrah to Muzarabani, FOUR, not the area you bowl to any batsmen. Overpitched outside off, Muzarabani frees his arms and drills the drive through extra cover, raced away to the fence

24.4 - Axar to Sibanda, FOUR, fifty for Sibanda. Gets a thumbs up from coach, Ntini. The school kids at the ground applaud. Short and angling into the batsman, Sibanda uses the depth of the crease and pulls it away comfortably over mid-wicket, one bounce and over the rope

22.1 - Axar to Sibanda, FOUR, fabulous shot! Sibanda is looking good. Overpitched outside off, Sibanda gets a good stride forward, on one knee and drives it handsomely through extra cover, no need to run for those

21.4 - Chahal to Sibanda, FOUR, poor delivery and Sibanda is onto it in a flash. Half tracker just outside off, Sibanda rocks back and muscles the pull over mid-wicket, no one in the deep and it is a one-bounce four

18.4 - Bumrah to S Raza, FOUR, poor delivery! Short and wide, Raza makes full use of it, gets on the back foot and thrashes the cut through extra cover, the fielder gave a chase but the ball had enough legs to reach the fence

14.3 - Bumrah to Sibanda, FOUR, short of a good length delivery on off and how well has Sibanda timed it. Gets on his toes and punches it past a diving backward point, the ball has enough legs to roll to the fence

14.1 - Bumrah to Sibanda, FOUR, that will give Sibanda some confidence. He likes playing those pick-up shots, on a length from Bumrah and Sibanda whips it over mid-wicket. A couple of bounces before it crosses the fence

10.3 - Barinder to Sibanda, FOUR, since it came off the middle of the bat and went through mid-wicket, we are all praise for it. But it was a pull fetched well from outside off. Anyway, well short and too easy for Sibanda to effect the pull. Looked good in the end

3.3 - D Kulkarni to H Masakadza, FOUR, on the up drive from Masakadza. The best thing was that he accounted for the outswing and then flayed the drive through cover. The outfield is not lightning fast, but it still rolls away to the fence. Top shot from Masakadza

1.4 - D Kulkarni to Chibhabha, FOUR, fabulous shot to get off the mark. Gets across on this length delivery and flicks it past a diving mid-on to his right. No chance for Bumrah there at mid-on

17.5 - Chahal to Sibanda, SIX, well flighted and Sibanda has made the most of it. Did not skip down the track, cleared his leg a bit and lofted it over, there was a man at long-on but the ball just carried over the fence

34.3 - Axar to Muzarabani, out Lbw!! Ian Gould took his time before raising the finger. The slider that goes on with the arm, Muzarabani is beaten for pace as he fails to get any wood on the forward defence, is rapped in front of middle and the ball would have crashed into middle and leg-stump. Zimbabwe have been bowled out as Sean Williams won't be batting. Muzarabani lbw b Axar 5(10) [4s-1]

31.4 - D Kulkarni to Chatara, out Bowled!! Peach of a delivery. Too good for a No. 9. Good length ball on off, Chatara's feet went nowhere as he aimed a heave towards cow corner, the ball straightened to hit the top of off-stump. India are close to cleaning it up. Chatara b D Kulkarni 2(6)

30.2 - Bumrah to Mutumbami, out Caught by Dhoni!! Ian Gould raises his finger. Mutumbami is not too pleased. Indians have another one. The nip-backer from Bumrah, the length was short and Mutumbami was cut into half as he looked to defend, the ball takes the inside edge and Dhoni dives to his left to pouch that. Not sure what the fuss was about, Mutumbami had cleared nicked it. Mutumbami c Dhoni b Bumrah 2(14)

27.4 - Chahal to Sibanda, out Caught by K Jadhav!! There goes another one. The set batsman departs and Zimbabwe are falling apart. All one can say is, it was a horrible shot under the circumstances. Chahal, who started poorly, now has three wickets to his name. Tossed up just outside off, Sibanda goes for a wild slog sweep over mid-wicket, gets it off the toe-end and skies it towards long-on, Jadhav judges it to perfection. Sibanda c K Jadhav b Chahal 53(69) [4s-6 6s-1]

25.3 - Chahal to Chigumbura, out Lbw!! Chahal is on a hat-trick. It was a positive shout from the Indians and umpire Langton Rusere obliges with the raise of the finger. Tossed up on middle and leg, Chigumbura presses forward to defend, misses it completely as he played down the wrong line - played for the turn, the ball straightened a bit and beat him on the inside edge. The ball would have gone on to hit middle and leg. Chigumbura lbw b Chahal 0(1)

25.2 - Chahal to S Raza, out Caught by K Jadhav!! Needless! Raza just had to rotate the strike with Sibanda playing so well. Instead he tries a rash shot and perishes in the process. A much required breakthrough for India. Chahal ends the 67-run stand. Floated up outside off, Raza clears his front leg and goes against the turn, smashes it straight down the throat of long-on. He would have been better off hitting it over extra cover or over long-off. S Raza c K Jadhav b Chahal 16(41) [4s-1]

10.0 - D Kulkarni to Chibhabha, out Lbw!! Was it all a ploy from Kulkarni to bowl those outside off? Maybe! Hit this one on a length which held its line. Since it was on the stumps so the line was never a problem, the only question would have been height but it seems fine there. Chibhabha was in his crease trying to work across the line, missed it completely and was rapped on the front knee roll. Would have gone on to hit the leg-stump. Chibhabha lbw b D Kulkarni 21(26) [4s-1]

6.2 - Barinder to Peter Moor, out Lbw!! For all his patience and good lines, Sran has been rewarded once again. This one deserved a wicket. Zipped in off the surface sharply and Moor was glued to his crease, trying to tuck it away. Was hit on the knee roll of the front pad. But he was jumping, so a replay would be interesting here. It might have gone over. I am not so sure, but the replays confirm that it was too high. Moor will feel aggrieved by that call from umpire Gould. Peter Moor lbw b Barinder 1(9)

4.3 - Barinder to H Masakadza, out Caught by Bumrah!! It was coming, wasn't it? That's the end of Masakadza. He was never going to clear the field with all that swing on offer. Finds third man with ease. Masakadza takes a stride forward in trying to loft it over the infield. But all he could manage was to slice it off the outer edge of the bat towards third man, who takes an easy catch. H Masakadza c Bumrah b Barinder 9(17) [4s-1]

26.5 - S Raza to M Pandey, FOUR, India take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series with this win! All Pandey needed was a ball to finish the proceedings. Tossed up slightly wide outside off, Pandey leans forward, reaches to the pitch of the ball and drills the drive through the vacant cover region. The ball trickles away to the fence and Pandey, Rayudu punch their gloves in delight. Easy-peasy for the Indians and how can I forget, I don't have to change my name from Sidhant Maheshwari to anything

23.4 - Cremer to Rayudu, FOUR, Cremer has got his line and length absolutely wrong. No one can blame him though. Drags this short and wide outside off once again, Rayudu rocks back in the crease and pulls it over mid-wicket for another four

23.2 - Cremer to Nair, FOUR, India are not going to hang around for much longer. Nair jumps out of the crease to get to the pitch of this tossed up delivery, lifts it over mid-on with ease and the ball bounces once before going over the rope

23.0 - Chibhabha to Rayudu, FOUR, sixth boundary for Rayudu, short and wide from Chibhabha, Rayudu gets on top of the bounce and cracks it square past point for another boundary

22.3 - Chibhabha to Rayudu, FOUR, that's easy pickings for Rayudu, too short from Chibhabha, can't bowl those at his pace. Rayudu swivels across and pulls it past mid-wicket with disdain. India are inching closer towards a series win

21.2 - Chigumbura to Rayudu, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries for Rayudu once again, leg-stump half-volley from Chigumbura, Rayudu prods across and flicks it past mid-wicket, rolls away to the fence in a hurry

21.1 - Chigumbura to Rayudu, FOUR, nicely played by Rayudu, overpitched and on the stumps, Rayudu presents the full face of the bat and beats the diving mid-on fielder with the drive

20.3 - Chibhabha to Nair, FOUR, Karun has made the most of his second free-hit as well, fraction too short from Chibhabha, Karun swivels across and clubs it over mid-on, one bounce and over the ropes

15.4 - Chatara to Rayudu, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries for Rayudu, short and wide outside off, Rayudu gets on top of the bounce and cracks it square past point, no need to run for those

15.3 - Chatara to Rayudu, FOUR, lovely shot, a long half-volley outside off from Chatara and it's been duly punished. Rayudu leans forward, presents a straight bat and drives it back past the bowler, beats mid-off to his right and rolls away to the fence

8.0 - Chatara to Rahul, FOUR, lovely shot! Shortish and width on offer, Rahul pounces on it with a flashing cut past point. The ball runs away into the fence

7.2 - Chatara to Rahul, FOUR, pierces the gap this time. Too full on the stumps, Rahul leans a touch and slices the drive through extra cover

4.4 - Chatara to Nair, FOUR, takes full toll of the free-hit. Sees the fullish delivery and smokes it over the bowler's head. Couple of bounces and into the fence

4.2 - Chatara to Nair, FOUR, nicely played! Short of length delivery outside off, Nair gets on top of the ball and punches it square on the off-side. No need to run for those

3.2 - Muzarabani to Rahul, FOUR, top shot! Sees the half-volley, leans forward, presents a straight bat face and drives it along the ground. Straight as a dye!

2.5 - Chatara to Nair, FOUR, nice shot from Nair. Short delivery sat up nicely for Nair, who quickly rocks back and nails the pull to the mid-wicket fence

1.5 - Muzarabani to Rahul, FOUR, cracking shot! Sees the width on this shortish delivery and latches onto it. Slashes it past cover and the ball purrs into the fence. First boundary of the innings

26.4 - S Raza to Nair, out Lbw!! Nair will be very disappointed. Instead of hitting the winning runs, he has to make the long walk back to the hut. Kneels down to play the big sweep off this very full delivery, fails to lay bat on it and wears it very low on the pad in line with off stump. The umpire was always going to raise his finger there and India lose their second wicket just 2 runs away from victory. Out comes Manish Pandey. Replays show it was crashing into middle and leg. Nair lbw b S Raza 39(68) [4s-5]

14.4 - Chibhabha to Rahul, out Bowled!! Chopped on! A loose shot and Rahul has been dismissed, some reward for Chibhabha. This was short and just outside off, not much room for Rahul to play the cut, his weight wasn't fully forward as he looked to cream it through cover, gets an inside edge and the stumps take a beating. Rahul has been dismissed in ODIs for the first time and he now has a not so bad average of 133. Rahul b Chibhabha 33(50) [4s-4]

10.1 - Chibhabha to Rahul, no run, dropped! Raza at cover has shelled a tough chance. Rahul check-drives this fullish delivery towards extra cover, Raza stretches his right hand but couldn't cling onto it. Perhaps should have gone with both hands there. Irrespective of all that, it was a good effort
