Time for the presentation...
Graeme Cremer: Losing the toss again may have played a part but our batters didn't look the part. The wicket was still doing a little bit and we were looking to get around 240 to get them under pressure. Injuries are always disappointing but I think we had enough batters to post a good score. We know we have four games to go and hopefully come hard at them in the T20s.
MS Dhoni: It's always good to take catches and inside edges are always good to take. It was a different performance from the first game, slightly different pitch. Some of the shots played in the first 10 overs showed it was coming on to the bat nicely. Our bowlers did a great job to restrict them, I felt they would cross 200 and our spinners got us important breakthroughs. Most important thing is to win games and our batting when it comes to professionalism is right up there, even in the first game. We'll sit and discuss changes for the next game with Sanjay Bangar. There's only so much players can do in only one game. We'll see who can fit in the T20 squad and maybe we'll rest one of the bowlers.
Chahal is the Man of the Match: I enjoyed bowling, the wicket was a bit slow. Day before the batsmen were not going after me and were a bit defensive, today they were attacking me so I got wickets. I was looking to bowl a stump-to-stump line and Mahi bhai also asked me to bowl slow through the air.
That's it from us as far as this ODI goes, join us again on Wednesday for the last match of the series, enjoy the Lord's Test and the football until then. It's goodbye from Vishal and Shashank. Ciao!
2.13pm That's another one-sided win for this second-string India side over Zimbabwe and they've taken the series, leading 2-0 for now. Sibanda's fifty was leading the hosts towards a respectable score but poor shots and three wickets from Chahal led their downfall. An injury to Sean Williams, who came in for Craig Ervine, added to their worries and the Indian batsmen were hardly troubled, again. Lots of chinks to be covered and kinks to be straightened out for Zimbabwe before the third ODI. India, on the other hand, will be pretty pleased with this lead and the fashion in which they've achieved it. Will they try out more players? Time will tell...
This match is done and dusted, but another one in another sport in another continent is about to start. It's Spain versus Czech Republic in the Euro 2016. So check it out on espn.in, which is still less than two weeks old.
