    4.3 bowled im. Huge wicket. Rahul chops on. Fullish length outside off, Rahul looks to drag-swat over midwicket but had to take it from too wide. As a result, the inside edge clatters into middle and leg stump. That should slow India down further 27/2
    3.1 taken. Really good catch that. Shortish and wide outside off, Mandeep chooses to slap the ball over cover. Doesn't time it too well, lobs up in the air. Cover backtracks and takes a quality catch, got back and got into a good position. Took it with his hands close to his chest. 20/1
    12.5 holed out to long-on. A cry of anguish as Rayudu knew he did not quite get that. Runs to the pitch of the ball, looks to go over the bowler but squirts it straight to long-on. A comfortable height and a comfortable take. Will push India back again 76/4
    4.4 the Zimbabwe players are celebrating. Is Pandey walking back? A full delivery is pushed to mid-on for a quick single. The fielder is quick on it, gets low, picks up with his right hand and fires the throw in one swift motion. Hits the middle stump at the bowler's end and Pandey is well short. India struggling now. 27/3
    18.6 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 122/6
    16.2 bowled. Dhoni is gone. And he is injured. Fullish outside off, Dhoni clears his front foot and looks to go over midwicket but the ball keeps a touch low. Comes back enough to take the inside edge and clatter into the stumps. The bails go flying, one of them finds a way through Dhoni's helmet to hit him on the right eye. Needed a moment to stabilise himself before leaving the field 93/5

    2.4 gone. 135 kph, shortish delivery on middle. Not short enough to pull again but Chamu tries. Doesn't quite time it, doesn't get the elevation, doesn't keep it down. What he does is find the midwicket fielder who takes a good, reverse-cupped catch over his head 17/1
    8.5 given. Flat again on off and middle, Masakadza gets low to sweep but misses. Slides on and hits Masakadza on the pads in front of off. Will skid on and hit the stumps says the umpire. Axar has a wicket. Zim two down. Struggled for fluency in that knock 57/2
    10.3 given. Another one. Sibanda this time. Slower ball on middle and leg, straight and full. Sibanda misses a flick and is struck in front. Another lbw. Zimbabwe in trouble now. 60/3

    17.1 taken. Big wicket. Waller goes. And India have a wicket. Back of a length on off, Waller backs away, tries to steer he ball over short third man but doesn't get the elevation. Bumrah leaps over his head and clings onto a tough chance. 104/5
    19.6 taken and India have won. What a game. Low full toss outside off, Chigumbura toe-ends it to cover and Chahal takes the catch in front of him. India win the series 2-1. 135/6
