So that concludes proceedings from us. We had a cracking game today. Let's hope that we have another cracking encounter on Sunday. India are 1-0 up in the series and the second ODI is a must-win game for Zimbabwe to keep the series alive. Looking forward to your company then, goodbye!

Rayudu: "It was very tough to bat in the morning. Me and Ajju (Rahane) were batting well till he got out. I knew that one had to bat through and I am happy that I took the responsibility. I was constantly telling Binny to hold back because we couldn't lose wickets at that stage. He batted brilliantly. Contributing to the team is more important than scoring a hundred."

Ambati Rayudu is the Man of the Match for his unbeaten 133-ball 124

Rahane: "Very happy with the way we played. Rayudu batted really well, it wasn't easy to bat at the start. They bowled well as well. We knew that 255 was a good score and the credit goes to the bowlers as well. Harbhajan Singh was good and so was Axar Patel. I was trying to be calm during the last few overs, but I was very nervous inside."

Chigumbura: "It's disappointing to lose a game after working so hard. We learnt that it is not over until it's over, hopefully we can turn up good for the next game. We lost wickets in groups and that's what cost us today. It's always good to score runs and hopefully I can carry on and win games for Zimbabwe."

With Graeme Cremer batting sensibly at the other end, Chigumbura took the onus of scoring to himself - bringing up his 19th ODI fifty in the process. He continued to grow strong and rattled India - pressure told on the visitors, both with the ball as well as on the field. Kulkarni went for 13 runs in the 47th over, Bhuvneshwar was taken for 14 in the 48th and suddenly - Zimbabwe were the favourites to romp home. Dhawal made up somewhat in the 49th over - going for 8 runs and scalping Cremer - for a well made 27. 10 runs were needed from the final over, but Bhuvneshwar just about kept his nerves intact. It was a frustrating finish for Chigumbura, who has now endured two heartbreaking losses despite scoring hundreds in consecutive matches.

A brave effort from Elton Chigumbura but the hosts have just fallen short of India's 255 by 4 runs. The Indian bowling was a mixture of good and shabby. Bhuvneshwar Kumar was outstanding and he received good support from Stuart Binny and Axar Patel. On the other hand, Dhawal Kulkarni and Harbhajan Singh were not penetrative, although the former held his nerve towards the end. Skipper, Elton Chigumbura, was sensational. While the rest of the batsmen failed to come to terms with the two paced nature of the pitch, he seemed to be batting on a different planet altogether. There were useful contributions from Hamilton Masakadza (34) and Sikandar Raza (47), but the chase looked all but over when the sixth wicket fell at 160.

Over: 50	2 1 1 0 0 1	ZIM 251/7
Chigumbura 104(101)	Donald Tiripano 1(1)	Bhuvneshwar 10-1-35-1

49.6 - Bhuvneshwar to Chigumbura, 1 run, India have snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. Disappointing end for Zimbabwe. Chigumbura's both ODI hundreds have now resulted in defeats, which is very sad to know. He took the risk of not taking a run earlier but the ploy didn't work. Bhuvi held his nerve and got the yorker right when needed and Chigumbura could only drive it along the ground to long-on

49.5 - Bhuvneshwar to Chigumbura, no run, driven straight to cover. Oh dear! This is not good for Zimbabwe, two dots and they need six off the last ball. Chigumbura drove that very hard but picked out the fielder to perfection

49.4 - Bhuvneshwar to Chigumbura, no run, full toss, not hit well, goes on the bounce to long-off. Oh he's not taken a run. How crucial is this going to be?

49.3 - Bhuvneshwar to Donald Tiripano, 1 run, excellent yorker on the leg stump, Tiripano squeezes it out to fine leg, Zimbabwe will be happy as Chigu is back on strike

Seven off four balls! More importantly, Chigumbura is off strike

49.2 - Bhuvneshwar to Chigumbura, 1 run, yorker on the stumps, Chigumbura makes room and squeezes it out to sweeper cover

49.1 - Bhuvneshwar to Chigumbura, 2 runs, low full toss on the leg stump, driven wide of long-on, Tiripano rushes back for the second and makes his ground before the throw reached Bhuvi

Donald Tiripano, right handed bat, comes to the crease

10 needed off the last over now

Over: 49	1 1 Wd 1 2 2 W	ZIM 246/7
Cremer 27(36)	Chigumbura 100(96)	D Kulkarni 9-0-60-1

48.6 - D Kulkarni to Cremer, out Caught by Binny!! What have you done Cremer? Absolutely needless! That ends an excellent 86-run stand and more importantly gives India a sniff. Low full toss outside leg stump, Cremer plays the fancy looking reverse sweep, but mistimes it, point runs forward and takes an easy catch. Zimbabwe would hope that this moment does not turn things in favour of India. Cremer c Binny b D Kulkarni 27(36) [4s-2]

D Kulkarni to Cremer, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

48.5 - D Kulkarni to Cremer, 2 runs, the yorker goes on the full and Cremer drives it wide of long-on, once again the batsmen are very quick and they get back for the second

48.4 - D Kulkarni to Cremer, 2 runs, too short and pulled away to the left of mid-wicket, Tiwary runs to his right from long-on, dives and saves two

14 needed off 9

48.3 - D Kulkarni to Chigumbura, 1 run, that's it, second ODI hundred for the captain and what a knock this has been under pressure! Take a bow Chigu! Slower delivery on the leg stump, Chigumbura nudges this to mid-wicket. He takes his helmet off, roars and then swings his bat in joy. He knows that the job is yet to be done though. In fact, this is the second consecutive hundred for Chigu in ODIs

48.3 - D Kulkarni to Chigumbura, wide, tries the leg stump yorker from round the wicket, but just misses the radar. Extra ball and extra run for Zimbabwe

Chigu on 99, with the crowd right behind him

48.2 - D Kulkarni to Cremer, 1 run, yorker length delivery, Cremer backs away and drives it to long-off

48.1 - D Kulkarni to Chigumbura, 1 run, shortish slower ball on the leg stump, Chigumbura helps it down to fine leg

Just 18 runs off 12 balls now

Over: 48	1 4 2 2 1 4	ZIM 238/6
Cremer 22(32)	Chigumbura 98(94)	Bhuvneshwar 9-1-30-1

47.6 - Bhuvneshwar to Cremer, FOUR, he was very calm until this point and now he's played a cheeky little scoop over short fine leg. What a timely hit from Cremer. Full and on the stumps, Cremer walks across the stumps and sends it over the man at 45 for four

47.5 - Bhuvneshwar to Chigumbura, 1 run, high full toss on the leg stump, Chigumbura is kind enough to nudge it front of square on the on-side

47.4 - Bhuvneshwar to Chigumbura, 2 runs, in the airrrrrr and did that carry? I think it did but it was a very tough chance for Vijay. Slower delivery on the stumps, Chigumbura goes straight again with his loft, hits it hard and flat, Vijay runs to hit left and dives but doesn't manage to hold on, great effort though as he saved two

47.3 - Bhuvneshwar to Chigumbura, 2 runs, he's doing this nicely, low full toss again, flicked gently through mid-wicket and he's swift enough to pinch two as well

47.2 - Bhuvneshwar to Chigumbura, FOUR, Bhuvi misses the yorker again, a juicy full toss on the off stump, Chigumbura muscles the lofted drive and long-on had no chance as it was hit very hard

47.1 - Bhuvneshwar to Cremer, 1 run, Bhuvi goes for the yorker but bowls a low full toss, Cremer, who is more keen on getting Chigumbura back on strike than whacking it out of the park, nudges this towards mid-wicket for a run

Just one boundary hit in the over, yet Zimbabwe managed to get 13 runs. 32 needed off 18!

Over: 47	0 4 2 2 Wd 2 2	ZIM 224/6
Chigumbura 89(90)	Cremer 17(30)	D Kulkarni 8-0-52-0

46.6 - D Kulkarni to Chigumbura, 2 runs, poor bowling, short and on the leg stump, much better of bowling the yorker from this angle, Chigumbura easily pulls it through backward square leg for a couple more

46.5 - D Kulkarni to Chigumbura, 2 runs, slower delivery from Kulkarni, Chigumbura mistimes the loft, clears extra-cover, long-off rushes in but can't prevent the batsmen from running back for the second

46.5 - D Kulkarni to Chigumbura, wide, the ploy is to nail the yorker on the stumps from round the wicket, but Kulkarni loses control and bowls it down the leg-side

Another chat between Rahane and the bowler. Third man in, fine leg back. Will Kulkarni target the stumps now? In fact he's coming round the wicket as well

46.4 - D Kulkarni to Chigumbura, 2 runs, almost a carbon copy of the last two balls, full and wide outside off stump, Chigumbura reaches out and drives it to the left of long-off

Jinks has a chat with Kulkarni

46.3 - D Kulkarni to Chigumbura, 2 runs, another widish yorker attempted and missed, drilled down to long-on, Cremer races back for the second to keep the skipper on strike

46.2 - D Kulkarni to Chigumbura, FOUR, goes for the widish yorker but just misses the mark and that was good enough for Chigu to smash it hard through cover, Rayudu runs to his right from sweeper and dives but fails to stop the ball

46.1 - D Kulkarni to Chigumbura, no run, lovely yorker, Chigumbura could do nothing about it, swung and missed

Dhawal Kulkarni [7.0-0-39-0] is back into the attack

Good comeback from Bhuvneshwar, after being hit for four first ball. It's 45 needed off 24 now

45.6 - Bhuvneshwar to Cremer, no run, good yorker again from Bhuvneshwar, Cremer digs it out

45.5 - Bhuvneshwar to Cremer, no run, oopsy! Cremer goes for an almighty swing, but only manages to toe-end it back to the bowler

45.3 - Bhuvneshwar to Chigumbura, no run, gets the yorker right this time, it was just outside off stump and Chigumbura couldn't dig it out

45.2 - Bhuvneshwar to Chigumbura, no run, Bhuvneshwar tries the yorker but bowls a low full toss, Chigumbura is kind enough to gently drive it to cover

Exactly 50 needed off 5 overs.

Over: 45	1 2 0 1 0 0	ZIM 206/6

44.5 - A Patel to Cremer, no run, flighted delivery from Patel, Cremer goes for the sweep, but the ball lobs into the off-side off the arm

44.4 - A Patel to Chigumbura, 1 run, flatter delivery on the leg stump, Chigumbura punches it to extra-cover after giving himself as bit of room

44.3 - A Patel to Chigumbura, no run, shortish and slower through the air, Chigumbura backs away and cuts but misses

44.1 - A Patel to Cremer, 1 run, flatter delivery on the leg stump, Cremer tucks it to square leg and gets off strike, this is just what he had to do

Chigumbura 69(77)	Cremer 16(25)	D Kulkarni 7-0-39-0

43.6 - D Kulkarni to Chigumbura, SIX, the extra ball has cost Kulkarni and India badly. Kulkarni goes for another slower ball but drops it a little short, Chigumbura waits and muscles it very hard over wide long-on. Great end to the over for the hosts

43.6 - D Kulkarni to Chigumbura, wide, slower ball bumper, Chigumbura lets it go, but the umpire doesn't like the height on that

24.3 - A Patel to S Raza, no run, hugeeeee shout for LBW, not given and probably it was a good call.

Sikandar Raza, right handed bat, comes to the crease

24.2 - A Patel to Sean Williams, out Bowled!! It's a Silver Duck for Williams. Axar Patel bags another key wicket and that's a classical left-arm offie's dismissal against a left-hander. Flighted delivery outside off stump, Patel normally bowls quicker through the air but he floats this up nicely, Williams was on the front foot to drive along the ground, but the ball spun and sneaked through the gate to hit top of middle and off.

23.3 - D Kulkarni to Chigumbura, wide, short ball but it doesn't rise much as Chigumbura ducks under it, the line was down the leg-side though

22.6 - A Patel to H Masakadza, out Caught by M Tiwary!! How crucial was that diving stop the previous ball? Masakadza would have been off strike for this ball had the fielder conceded a run. Interestingly, this flighted delivery grips and turns, bounces extra as well, Masakadza was looking to punch, but checks his shot at the last moment, the ball takes the leading edge and goes straight into the hands of the man at point. That was a dolly for Tiwary. Big wicket for India as Masakadza was well set. H Masakadza c M Tiwary b A Patel 34(64) [4s-4]

18.6 - A Patel to H Masakadza, no run, was that dropped catch? Uthappa is the culprit! Once again Masakadza goes on the back foot to cut, but it was too close to play that shot and probably gets beaten. Uthappa would hope there was no bat involved. No replays yet to confirm though.
