8.1 OUT! TAKEN! Who else? It is skipper Sikandar Raza who draws first blood here! He floats this one up, full and around middle, Yashasvi Jaiswal changes his stance to go for the switch hit but fails to get under the ball, it loops up off the bottom of the bat towards point where Brian Bennett takes a dolly. Jaiswal goes back after a nice little cameo! Those quiet couple of overs compelled Jaiswal to keep up with the run rate and he ended up playing that rash switch hit. He departs on a quickfire 36. 67/1

17.5 OUT! TAKEN! Zimbabwe hold on to one now! Blessing Muzarabani gets his first wicket and sends back the Indian skipper. This is pitched up and around off, Shubman Gill looks to go over mid off, the shot is very much on but he just fails to get underneath the ball and slices it high in the air, Zimbabwe fans' hearts would have been in their mouth but it is their skipper Sikandar Raza who backtracks and pouches it safely. Gill goes back after an excellent knock! 153/3

10.3 OUT! IN THE AIR...AND TAKEN! Sikandar Raza gets his second wicket and removes the centurion of the previous game! Sikandar Raza bowls on a flatter trajectory on the middle, Abhishek Sharma gets his eyes lit up seeing that short-pitched delivery. He uses the depth of the crease to pull it over deep mid-wicket but the ball is a bit closer to the body and hence, he fails to generate the required timing to power it over the fence and the ball carries straight into the hands of Tadiwanashe Marumani patrolling the deep mid-wicket boundary. He falls on 10. 81/2

19.4 OUT! TAKEN FINALLY! Blessing Muzarabani has his second! He pitches it up and outside off, Ruturaj Gaikwad has to reach for it and scythes it nicely, but it goes flat and in the air towards sweeper covers where Wessly Madhevere moves forward and holds on to the catch. Gaikward just misses out on his fifty but has played his part to put India in a strong position. 177/4

1.1 OUT! TAKEN! Avesh Khan draws first blood with a soft dismissal! He begins with a back-of-a-length delivery around off, takes off a bit, Wessly Madhevere hops in the air and tries to punch it over the covers, but the ball gets big on him and ends up lobbing it straight to short covers where Abhishek Sharma makes no mistaken. Early blow for Zimbabwe! 9/1

2.4 OUT! TAKEN! Khaleel Ahmed has the last laugh here! He pitches it up and around middle, Tadiwanashe Marumani stays back and tries to loft it over mid on but fails to get the elevation and the bat twists in his hands as well. He ends up hitting it straight to Shivam Dube who takes an easy catch at mid on. Marumani goes back after hitting a few lusty blows and Zimbabwe is in a spot of bother now. 19/2

3.1 OUT! It's a plane! It's a bird! No, it's flying Ravi Bishnoi! Absolutely stunning catch from him and every Indian player goes to appreciate it. Avesh Khan serves this full and outside of, Brian Bennett throws his bat at it and slices it hard, the ball flies in the air over point, Ravi Bishnoi there times his jump to perfection and plucks it out of thin air with both hands. Zimbabwe three down now! Brian Bennett departs without doing much damage this time. 19/3

6.2 OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! A massive wicket for India and Washington Sundar does the trick in his very first over! Sundar darts in a fuller-length delivery, just around off, on a flatter trajectory. Sikandar Raza gets the desired length and he looks to slog it over deep mid-wicket. However, the ball skids and comes through very quickly which results in Raza mistiming the ball and not getting the distance. The ball sails straight to Rinku Singh at deep mid-wicket. Washington Sundar continues on his merry way with the ball. 37/4

7 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Washington Sundar with the double whammy! Half of the Zimbabwe side is in the dugout now. Washington Sundar comes from around the wicket and drops it on a fullish length, just outside off. The ball holds onto the surface a bit and turns away from the southpaw. Campbell is in his crease and tries to drive it away from the body, but ends up playing inside the line. The ball hence, takes the outside edge and Riyan Parag (Sub) does the rest with a sharp catch at first slip. 39/5

16.3 OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Sundar gets his third wicket and breaks the crucial partnership! Washington Sundar again keeps this one away from the batter, outside off and full, turning a bit in with the turn, Clive Madande moves across off and goes for an aerial slog shot but mistimes it in the air towards deep mid-wicket. Rinku Singh with his safest pair of hands manages to keep it simple and takes a good catch. Also, Washington Sundar still hasn't conceded a single boundary as yet. 116/6
