12:51pm 79 runs in the last ten overs, 159 in the last 20 - out of which Gill's contribution was 88! He looked at ease right from the moment he walked in and batted at a tempo that was quite different from the others - starkly different from that of the openers Dhawan and Rahul. Zimbabwe managed to keep most of the batters quiet but not Gill. Evans shone with a five-wicket haul and used his change of pace and lengths well on a surface, where the ball was not really coming on nicely to the bat. Going by the way Zimbabwe have batted in this series thus far, 290 looks a bit too out of reach. Let's see how they far, starting in half an hour's time.
Prakash: "79 off last 10 with 8 wickets remaining is a poor performance you have to say. India are struggling at the death without Pant, Pandya and Jadeja!!!" To be fair, it is not quite bad given the used track that was on offer.
Mustafa Moudi: "With this Gill finish this series with highest Runs (245), Highest Average (115.50) and Highest SR (120.68) among players scoring 10 or more runs this series. Guess he will be receiving both - Player of the Match and Player of the Series today !!"
Gandhi: "What a prediction, almost nearby, kislay: "Final scorecards: IND: 278/9 in 50 overs, ZIM: 212 all out in 43.5 overs." We can revisit this at the end of the game "
Around the stumps.
Chahar to face with Kuleep at the other end.
SN Thakur c Nyauchi b Evans 9 (10m 6b 2x4 0x6) SR: 150.00
Deepak Chahar at the other end.
Shubman Gill c Kaia b Evans 130 (145m 97b 15x4 1x6) SR: 134.02
Surely no 300 then? Evans to bowl the final over. He has three wickets to his name. A five-for for him?
Rajesh: "How did Gill face the next delivery after Axar's dismissal? Hasn't ICC changed the rules?" That law comes into effect from October.

Suvan: "The 'real' Shardul Thakur? Was there a pitch invasion?" No, Dhawan batted wearing Thakur's jersey with his name taped.
