- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.1 Change of pace does the trick! Zimbabwe are pumped up! Slower through the air ball on a length on the off stump channel, plays through the line of the ball and miscues the slog stroke straight up in the air towards the mid-on area, connects the sticker part of the bat. Mudzengerere tracks back and settles underneath the ball to take a well-judged catch. 44/110.5 massive wicket, and Chimugoro is breathing fire! Length ball on the fourth stump channel, held on the pitch and Sooryavanshi presents the full face of the bat, plays it through the line of the ball and mistimes the stroke straight to the mid-off fielder, striking it with soft hands. A regulation catch for Mudzengerere there at the edge of the circle. Sooryavanshi shakes his head in disappointment. 101/310.3 Edged and gone! Chimugoro bowls a widish fuller length ball angling away outside off; Mhatre stays inside the crease and throws the kitchen sink at it, extends his arms and gets a faint edge off the outside part of the bat, easy stuff for the keeper behind the stumps. A wild stroke from the India skipper, and he has to depart. 100/216.2 gone? Yes.. Chimugoro is dictating terms here. Length on off, angling away. Vedant prods forwards and plays a tentative push and that was enough for the ball to kiss the outside edge. Hlabangana pockets a dolly. India are in a spot of bother here. 130/435.3 caught at extra cover! Generously flighted fuller length ball from around the wicket outside off, walks forward and plays it inside-out over the covers, failed to connect it cleanly and did not generate enough elevation to evade the infield, finds Kian at the edge of the circle. The ring fielder gobbles it up with the reverse cup technique. That ball was hit like a tracer bullet, but Kian pouches it comfortably. 243/537.6 Sharp grab behind the stumps! Length ball around the fifth stump line, bends down and plays the square cut late, edges off the outside part of the bat and the keeper holds on to it. A long, enthusiastic appeal and finally the umpire raises his finger. The length wasn't there to play the cut, though. 251/646.2 fuller and slower outside off, tries to slay across the line, no pace offered and total power failure. Miscues to mid-on and Chimugoro out there takes an easy catch 303/749.5 not this time.. Dhruv changes the length and drops it short - miscues the pull to midwicket.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.2 Ambrish draws first blood! Back of a length ball angling in on the stumps. Hlabangana gets stuck inside the crease while trying to play off the back foot, thuds the top of the front pad. Massive appeal and the umpire is convinced. That seems to be missing the top of middle-leg, though. 0/13.1 Edged and through to the keeper! Hard length ball on the probing zone, a hint of late seam movement and Patel moves onto the back foot, pokes the ball tentatively away from the body, gets the faint outside edge and gifts an easy catch to Kundu. 15/226.5 gone..! Tossed up on leg stumps, Blignaut plays down the wrong line as the ball snakes past his back foot defence to clatters the stumps. Some reward for tight bowling 93/48.4 Sliced to backward point! Bowls a fuller length ball outside off, moves towards the line of the ball and plays the square drive uppishly, connects the thick outside edge and hits it straight to Chouhan, who didn't have to move an inch at the edge of the ring. 24/333.4 saunters down and gone. Once again waltz down the track, Udhav thunders it half-way down and wider too. Chiwaula on the move tries to club this out of Bulawayo but ends up skiing one towards mid-off. Ayush settles underneath the ball and takes an easy catch.. nevertheless Chiwaula has played a good innings 142/536.6 another one bites the dust. This was looped up wide down the leg, really slow and Chimugoro had no pace whatsoever to clear the man. Soorya at long-on takes a good catch 148/834.3 one brings two. This was tossed up wide outside off, lazy prod from Michael Blignaut and the ball spun back in viciously.. a big gap between bat and pad - snaked in to hit the timber 143/636.3 spun back in and Aysuh has his second. This one pitched outside off, spins back in sharply. Mudzengerere was rooted the crease, missed the ball by a long way and thuds on the shin, rather inside part of the pad. Aidan Seaver raises his finger 147/737.1 it's all happening here at Bulawayo. Zimbabweans are falling like ninepins. Full and straight, right in the block hole. Makoni had no answer, completely beaten for pace and thumped on the front foot.. 148/937.4 that is it..! Full toss down leg, angled in. Madhidhi was making room to play through the cover, thuds on the pad and ricochets onto the stumps 148/10Extras5 (b 1, w 4)TOTAL148 all out (37.4 Overs, RR: 3.92)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Nathaniel Hlabangana, 0.2 ov), 2-15 (Dhruv Patel, 3.1 ov), 3-24 (Brandon Senzere, 8.4 ov), 4-93 (Kian Blignaut, 26.5 ov), 5-142 (Leeroy Chiwaula, 33.4 ov), 6-143 (Michael Blignaut, 34.3 ov), 7-147 (Simbarashe Mudzengerere, 36.3 ov), 8-148 (Tatenda Chimugoro, 36.6 ov), 9-148 (Takudzwa Makoni, 37.1 ov), 10-148 (Webster Madhidhi, 37.4 ov)
