2.45pm Some lusty blows towards the end has brought this game back in India's favour. 51 off the last five overs means India post 138. Jadhav's fifty set it up after a number of early wickets set India back. Zimbabwe will still take this I suspect. Could be a fascinating finish to this tour.

Madziva to Patel, 2 runs, drilled to long-off for another couple. Tag fielding can't prevent the second. 16 off the last over, great comeback from India
19.5
6
Madziva to Patel, SIX, six. Vital runs these. Full and wide again, Axar was able to get under that. Maybe a touch too predictable. Axar drills a lofted drive over long-off. Nicely played
19.4
2
Madziva to Patel, 2 runs, and again. The wide yorker outside off, squeezed to long-on for another couple. Easy
19.3
2
Madziva to Patel, 2 runs, full and wide again, good bowling. Not bowling it in the hitting arc, hammered to long-on. Two more
19.2
2
Madziva to Patel, 2 runs, full and wide outside off, skewed to long-off. No timing at all. Two as the ball plonks in the outfield

1w
Madziva to Kulkarni, 1 wide, excellent short delivery on middle and leg, Dhawal ducks underneath but a wide is called. Hmm, marginal call
Madziva will finish. The umpires check if the batsmen have crossed. Axar has to go the non-striker's end. Dhawal on strike

Tiripano to Jadhav, OUT, slower legcutting bouncer outside off. Jadhav holes out, did not quite get his heave and mis-timed it in the air. No timing, no distance, elevated enough for Chigumbura to set himself at long-on and complete the sitter

Tiripano to Jadhav, FOUR, four more. Runs coming freely. Strays down leg and Jadhav gets outside the line to just flick past short fine leg. Great stuff
18.4
3
Tiripano to Patel, 3 runs, poor stuff from Zimbabwe. Full and wide outside off, skewed towards the keeper. Waller gets to it and throws at the batsman's end, misses and there will be two overthrows
Vaibhav : "Why is Malcolm Waller behind the stumps today? Isn't Moor a specialist keeper?"
18.3
1
Tiripano to Jadhav, 1 run, slower ball down leg, off the pad and almost rolls back towards the stumps. Jadhav waits to see if it's safe, sets off late but makes the run
18.2
2
Tiripano to Jadhav, 2 runs, slower bouncer outside off, Jadhav comes down and mis-times his pull to deep midwicket. Comes back for two, calls of "aaja, aaja" (come, come)

Tiripano to Patel, 1 run, full and wide outside off, squeezed towards point
Can India eke their way to 130?

Chatara to Jadhav, FOUR, strays down leg this time, an inside edge onto his pad and past the keeper for four. Quality knock this from Jadhav. Fifty.

Chatara to Jadhav, FOUR, lovely shot. Chatara fires this full and wide again, but Jadhav stays back, waits for it and scythes a square drive to the point boundary. Got his hands through that
Pradeep Sinha: ""Zimbabwe really well played, picked up the wickets in regular intervals not letting any partnership to build""

Chatara to Jadhav, no run, well bowled. Full and wide, yorker. Jadhav can't connect. Beaten. Dot.

Chatara to Jadhav, SIX, phew, massive. Full delivery outside off, Jadhav shimmies down and mows the ball with so much power that it carries way over the long-on boundary. Six off the bat
Madziva needs some treatment on his hand, he was the one at short fine leg
