Ashish will be in for the chase. Stay tuned

Amit: "Poor rotation of bowlers. Mukesh should have got 2 overs at the death. " India are probably going to rotate the roles as the games go, but yeah, allowed Zimbabwe to sneak through today.

2:41pm Three-act innings. Zimbabwe started with stability but couldn't take off, India's spinners created a collapse and Madande revived them late. The hosts are probably still unders but they've done well to get this far after Bishnoi sliced through in the middle overs with googlies. Sundar, with his stock balls and natural variation, was tough to hit too. Madande couldn't find the middle till the last over or two but when he did, he kept strike and got boundaries to punish Avesh's death bowling.

Ritesh Dahiya: "Looks like score predictor is run by the wizards.... 115"

Avesh Khan to Madande, FOUR, Edged over short fine, Zimbabwe stretch to 115 thanks to Madande. He went across early, was outside off and Avesh went much further. Went three-quarter length and Madande flashed. Got a thick edge which brought about more cheers from the fans, who've been sprightly all afternoon

Pradeep Gujaran: "Chat GPT: while the ball might still go on to hit the stumps, the laws are structured to give the batsman the benefit of the doubt if they are struck outside the off-stump while attempting a shot. This maintains a balance between batting and bowling and ensures the game remains fair and enjoyable." Wonder how long it'll be till AI has its input on the laws
