    2.6 the Sooryavanshi show is over! Kudos to Ngarava for continuing to be brave. Bowls a short ball into the body, Sooryavanshi decides he's going to continue taking them on and goes through with the pull, but this skews high up in the air, off the top part of the bat, and the mid-on fielder takes an excellent catch running behind a few steps. 29/2
    1.5 he's punched that uppishly and straight to Burl at backward point. Abhishek is bitterly disappointed. He looked to simply steer the ball by using the pace of the bowler, and ended up spooning a regulation catch. May have gone over the fielder had he played a proper cut. India have lost an early wicket yet again. 10/1
    17.1 flays it over the top and Bennett running in from the sweeper cover boundary takes a good, diving catch. Kishan has played a fine innings. And at this stage, he couldn't afford to hold back. So when he sees a length ball outside off - maybe a touch wider than ideal for boundary hitting - he throws his bat at it, which turns on impact, a sign there is not a lot of timing in the shot. 189/4
    9.6 he has picked out backward point! Iyer sees this dropped short and rocks back to cut, and in trying to do so has perished. The ball lobbed to Evans who didn't have to move an inch. 95/3

    19.3 steps across in light of the bowlers going wide yorkers. This one comes out a full toss. Rinku swings at it. It goes high. It goes straight. It is a tester for Burl at long-on and he does well to hold onto a really good catch, leaning back, right on the edge of the ropes. 213/5

    3.5 there's the first international wicket for Vidarbha's Yash Thakur! Bennett is caught in two minds and ends up tamely lobbing this attempted scoop to Ishan Kishan behind the stumps. He went across a long way, initially looking to scoop. Then thought he'd open the bat face to try and ramp, but went back to his original idea. Ended up making a royal mess of it. 34/1
    4.1 the leading edge flies straight down third man's throat and Prince is on the board immediately. This is short of length and angling away, Curran looks to take on the short ball but it gets big on him and flies off the thickish outside edge to the fielder. Dube had to run in no more than a couple of yards from the ropes to take that comfortably. 34/2
    5.5 the wrong'un has helped deliver a wicket! This one drifts in a long way from wide of the crease, Bishnoi gets this to also dip on Myers who is through with an ugly hack into the leg side, but misses it altogether and sees the leg-stump knocked back. 48/3
    11.2 taken at long-on by Rinku. Fifty in the first innings and a wicket in his first over for Tilak. He wouldn't be bowling if not for the injury to Prince earlier in the chase but he'll take that. Tossed up ball outside leg stump. Burl charges out of his crease and looks to smash it out of the ground too. No such luck 82/6
    6.2 has a big swing at that, gets a big-fat edge and Kishan takes a regulation catch behind the stumps. No one really celebrated because it was that obvious to the ear. The batter hung around and waited for a bit, and was then ushered back by the umpire. Raza will be bitterly disappointed with the stroke. A nothing stroke really. Zimbabwe are unravelling very quickly here. 49/4
    8.2 chipped to Shreyas at mid-off for one of the easier catches he'll take. Looks to step out and go down town but the hard-length means the ball thuds into the sticker area of his bat as it lobs up to Iyer who takes the dolly. 65/5
    16.1 full straight, slog, gone. Marumani can't connect with the offcutter so it connects with his stumps 121/9
    13.3 leaves his stumps open and Abhishek takes them. Evans tries to shuffle across his stumps to scoop the bowler. And he misses a fast, flat delivery that pings his leg stump 105/7
    15.2 bowls him. That might be too good for a lower-order batter. Tossed up. Drifts in. The angle forces Nyamhuri to think the flick shot is on. But then the ball dips, grips and turns clean past the leading edge into the stumps 119/8
    17.5 taken at long-on. That's the game. Tossed up well wide of the left-hander's reach as Abhishek responds to Ngarava charging him. The batter still goes for the slog. Mistimes it and is taken safely by Rinku. 129/10
