2.25pm From the highs of a T20 win against one of the best teams in the world to playing 20 overs without making 100, Zimbabwe have sunk and slipped miserably. A lot of shots in the first few overs but even more wickets fell. India's bowlers were tight and kept the batsmen in check. Zimbabwe make 99, India need 100 to level the series. Should be straightforward. Chase in a bit.

Bumrah to Madziva, OUT, these stumps are getting smashed. Quite full on off, fast. Madziva runs to the pitch and looks to dab one into the off side, but the ball goes through bat and pad. Off stump goes for a walk this time.

Bumrah to Chigumbura, OUT, cleaned up. Another one for Bumrah, and the big wicket. Good length, swerving back in sharply.
