1.2 OUT! TAKEN! Blessing Muzarabani removes the Indian captain very early into the game! Blessing Muzarabani lands full and angles it on the middle and leg stump line, Shubman Gill gets the ball into the slot but maybe, the ball is too full to hit it over mid on. He fails to get the elevation and hits it off the inner half of the willow, flat towards Brian Bennett stationed at mid on. 10/1

| Abhishek Sharma | 100 | 47 | 7 | 8 | 212.76 |

14 OUT! TAKEN! A sort of a consolation for Wellington Masakadza here! Delivers an arm-ball on a length, at the stumps, Abhishek Sharma swings hard to slog it across the line of the ball but ends up getting a leading edge that flies to the backward point region. Dion Myers at the mentioned position runs a few steps backward and takes a good catch. Abhishek Sharma walks back to the dugout and gets a huge round of applause from the crowd. 147/2

0.3 OUT! TIMBER! Mukesh Kumar with the early strike for India, yet again! Innocent Kaia falls in a similar fashion as he did in the series opener. The leg pole was uprooted then but it is the off pole this time. Mukesh pitches it on a length with an upright seam, on off, nipping back into the right-hander, Innocent Kaia gets on the front foot to drive it down the ground but gets beaten on the inside edge as the ball comes back in and knocks over the off pole. 4/1

16.3 OUT! YOU MISS I HIT! THROUGH THE GATES! Ravi Bishnoi gets his second wicket! He bowls it very close to the bodyline on a length, on a flatter trajectory, angling to the leg stump line. Wessly Madhevere gives Bishnoi the charge but gets cramped up for room as he tries to play it across the line. The ball is too close to execute that shot and Madhevere fails to connect. The ball sneaks through the gap between the bat and the pad to dismantle the furniture. 117/8

3 OUT! CASTLED! Brian Bennett misses but Mukesh Kumar does not! Mukesh fights back and the fun is over for Bennett. Mukesh keeps it at the stumps and goes slightly fuller, nipping back in a touch, Brian Bennett goes for a wild heave across the line and loses his shape in the process. Fails to get any bat on it and the ball sneaks under the bat to clip the middle stump. 40/2

3.2 OUT! TAKEN! The move to send Dion Myers up the order does not work for Zimbabwe! Not the best of deliveries by Avesh Khan as this is short and wide on off, asking to be hit. Dion Myers does not move his feet much and reaches out to go through the off side. Gets this one right off the toe end of the bat and it lobs tamely towards short cover where Rinku Singh takes it to his right. 41/3

| Sikandar Raza C | 4 | 4 | 1 | 0 | 100 |

4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Avesh Khan with the double strike and this is the big wicket of Sikandar Raza. Avesh bends his back and digs it in short, at the batter, Sikandar Raza is caught in two minds about whether to drop his wrists and let the ball go or help the ball on its way. The ball climbs onto him and comes onto him quicker than he anticipated. Raza fails to get his gloves out of the way and the ball comes off his gloves and balloons behind to Dhruv Jurel who takes it to his left. 46/4

9.4 OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Ravi Bishnoi won't drop those! Washington Sundar drops it full and around off from around the wickets, Johnathan Campbell sits for a slog sweep, gets underneath the ball but mistimes it high up in the air off the top half of the bat. Ravi Bishnoi from deep square leg runs to his right, settles his eyes under the ball and tumbles but manages to hold onto it in the end. 72/5

10.3 OUT! TRAPPED PLUMB IN FRONT! Or is it? This looks dead straight but after a chat with his partner, Clive Madande has taken the review. Another one of those deliveries by Ravi Bishnoi that does not turn away and just keeps sliding into the batter, short and on off, Clive Madande is cramped up for room. He does go on the back foot to play it across the line but the ball skids off the deck, beats the inside edge and pings Madande on the back pad. There is nothing on UltraEdge and it is three reds on Ball Tracking. Ravi Bishnoi gets his first wicket of the game. Clive Madande doesn't trouble the scorers this time and departs on a duck. 73/6

11.1 OUT! RUN OUT! Superb work by Dhruv Jurel! Sundar lands it on a nagging length, at the stumps, Wellington Masakadza looks to keep it out but gets an inside edge that rolls beside the pitch on the leg side. A yes-no situation between the two batters and they eventually decide to cross over. The keeper, Dhruv Jurel gets to the ball quickly and takes his right glove off. Picks the ball up and in one motion, hits the stumps at the bowling end to catch Masakadza short of his crease. 76/7

18.4 OUT! TAKEN IN THE DEEP! India win by 100 runs and level the series by 1-1. Total dominance out there in the field in all three domains by the Men in Blue. Mukesh Kumar pins in a fuller-length delivery outside off, Luke Jongwe opens the face of the bat but slices it uppishly, flat, and straight down the throat of Ruturaj Gaikwad at deep third. A strong comeback from India after a dismal performance in the series opener. Hugs and handshakes around with delighted Indian faces. 134/10

17.4 OUT! IN THE AIR AND SUNDAR TAKES IT EASILY! Zimbabwe 9 down now. Avesh Khan continues to bowl on a short length, just around off, Blessing Muzarabani goes for a half-hearted pull shot and gets a leading edge that flies up in the air. Washington Sundar stationed at mid on runs a few steps ahead and takes a simple catch. Avesh Khan gets his second wicket and India is just one wicket away from a clinical victory. 123/9
