Ryan Burl c Rinku Singh b Tilak Varma 20 (18)
OUT! TAKEN! Tilak Varma can do no wrong in this game. First, runs with the bat and now a wicket as well. He flights it up, full and on middle and leg, Ryan Burl skips down the track to go big down the ground. However, he gets it from the inside half of the bat. The ball flies flat and in the air towards long on, where Rinku Singh comes charging in and dives forward to take a superb catch. There is a check for the fairness of the catch, but the replay shows that Rinku has grabbed it clearly and kept the ball above the ground as well. Zimbabwe are reeling at 82/6 now.

10.1
Back of a legnth and outside off, Tadiwanashe Marumani slaps it wide of sweeper cover and comes back for the second run.
DRINKS! India are way ahead in this game at the halfway mark in the chase. They will be eyeing to keep picking up wickets and wrap things up as quickly as possible. Maybe on another day, the injury to Prince Yadav would have affected them, but it should not in this game as they are dictating things. Zimbabwe need something really special even to get closer to India's total, and if Ryan Burl gets out, it could rather end in a flash. Yash Thakur comes in to bowl again.
