Victor Nyauchi to KL Rahul, OUT! Given lbw! Victor Nyauchi has a wicket and he is all smiles. KL Rahul has a word with his partner and takes the referral. Looks more in hope. Coming to the delivery, it's on a length around off and shaping back in, Rahul shuffles across the stumps in an attempt to flick it on the leg side but misses. He is pinged on the front pad, they appeal and the umpire agrees. DRS time - The UltraEdge finds no bat and then the Ball Tracking shows that it's hitting the leg stump. KL departs cheaply, not a good comeback for him in his first outing with the bat.

Tanaka Chivanga to Shikhar Dhawan, OUT! CAUGHT! Chivanga takes his revenge and roars in delight. An excellent change in length from him to surprise the batter. He digs it in short around off at 81 mph and hurries up Dhawan who shapes up to pull. He completely mistimes his shot in the air and Innocent Kaia moves forward and across from square leg to take a simple catch. Unlike the last game, Zimbabwe have a couple of breakthroughs and the Indian batters in the middle order are going to get a chance to show their form.

Brad Evans to Shubman Gill, FOUR! Edged and through! What a let-off this is as the keeper and the first slip fielder look at each other in disbelief. Perfect length, angled into off and this one just holds its line. Shubman Gill pushes at it with hard hands and gets the outside edge. The ball goes in between the keeper and first slip but they stand still, looking at each other to make the move. The ball runs through that gap and finds the boundary line.

Luke Jongwe to Ishan Kishan, OUT! DRAGGED ON! Ishan Kishan chases a wide one and pays the price. This is bowled fuller and wider outside the off stump. Kishan leans in and looks to drive away from the body. The ball is a bit too wide and the inside edge is found. It goes on to hit the stumps and Kishan departs after a low score. Luke Jongwe is absolutely delighted and Zimbabwe showing a bit of fight with the ball here.

Luke Jongwe to Shubman Gill, OUT! Straight to the man! Luke Jongwe mixes up his length and bangs this one in halfway down the track. It is short and wide and Shubman Gill goes after it. Gill has to leap up as he looks to upper-cut but can't control the lofted shot. The ball goes straight down the throat of the man at the third man fence and Brad Evans pouches it safely. Gill ends up giving his wicket away and Jongwe strikes again!
