After 10 overs
India lost the wicket of its skipper Virat Kohi in the seventh over. Kohli tried to play through the midwicket area but found the fielder who took a difficult catch. Umpires once again went up to the third umpire to check whether the fielder took a clean catch or not. And this time the decision went in favour of Zimbabwe. V Kohli c Waller b Jarvis 14 (18b 2x4 0x6) Kohli was shocked over the decision of third umpire and even argued with the field umpire before leaving the field.

Javris bowled another beauty in his fifth over when he bowled a full delivery and forced Dhawan to drive it and ended up inducing an edge but the wicketkeeper Taylor dropped a simple catch. First ten overs belong to the host team as they not only managed to stop the Indian batsmen from scoring freely but also took two crucial wickets. So by the end of 10th over, India has scored 44 runs.

After 5 overs

High drama so far. After an early wicket of Rohit Sharma, India almost lost its another opener Dhawan in the fourth over, when Jarvis’s ball managed to kiss the outside edge of Dhawan’s bat and caught by the slip fielder. But after checking with the third umpire, it was a foot no ball. Lucky Dhawan scored three boundaries in the same over. Zimbabwe has so far bowled well. And in first five overs India lost one wicket and scored 29 runs.

First Indian run came from extras. Rohit Sharma Out..trying to drive the ball over extra covers, Rohit only managed to get the outside edge in the second over of the innings. RG Sharma c Sibanda b Vitori 1 (7b 0x4 0x6)

====================================================================================


It’s 100th ODI match for Indian opener Rohit Sharma. Let’s see whether he will manage to make it really special for him or not.

Overall, this newly formed Indian opening pair of Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan has performed well. It’s another opportunity for them to give India a strong opening stand.

Toss: Zimbabwe won the toss and elected to ball first. Taylor looked happy after winning it. First hour of the match would be crucial. Zimbabwe have done one change in the team -- Brian Vitori comes in for Mutombodzi.

After an expectedly comfortable win to start with, the young Indian team under Virat Kohli would look to continue asserting its supremacy over minnows Zimbabwe when the two sides clash in the second one-dayer of the ongoing five-match series here on Friday.

In a perfect start to the tour, India thrashed Zimbabwe by six wickets with Kohli leading from the front, scoring a hundred on Wednesday.

But the win was not without a few glitches with the inexperience of Indian bowlers exploited by a couple of Zimbabwean batsmen.

Sikander Raza nearly got a hundred while lower down the order Elton Chigumbura managed to torment the Indians for quite a while with a 34-ball 43 which included half a dozen boundaries.

In fact, India`s lead pacer R Vinay Kumar ended up conceding at a rate more than six in his nine overs. But on the brighter side, the rest of the attack made up for his off day with spinner Amit Mishra picking up three wickets in his 10 overs. ----------------------- ZEENEWS.com
