Shardul Thakur to Luke Jongwe, OUT! TIMBER! 'You miss, I hit' stuff from Shardul Thakur! This is on a fullish length and angling into middle and leg. Luke Jongwe tries to repeat the trick from the last ball and makes some room by stepping on the leg side and exposing his stumps. Jongwe swings hard at it but only connects with thin air. The ball goes on to rattle the sticks and Jongwe's resistance comes to an end. Thakur has three wickets in the match now.

Drinks break! It has been all India so far but there were a couple of partnerships brewing in the middle. First, it was Raza and Williams who looked to steady the ship a bit and then Williams tried to do the same with Ryan Burl but Sean too got out. There are still 20 overs to go but India will be looking to wrap this up in the next 10 overs or so. Can Zimbabwe somehow manage to get close to the 200-run mark?
