India 176-4 (15 Ovs) vs Zim | SCORECARD

Drinks are taken with India firmly on course for a big total. Richard Ngarava returns to the attack. Short and wide to begin with, and Hardik cashes in, picking up a couple of runs. He then flicks the next delivery towards deep backward square for a single.

Suryakumar Yadav takes over and what a shot! A stunning no-look six sails into the stands. He follows it up with a couple more runs to keep the pressure on. Myers then produces a brilliant diving stop in the deep, saving two crucial runs.

But just as India look set to explode again -- breakthrough! Suryakumar Yadav is out, caught by Tashinga Musekiwa. SKY departs for a brisk 33 off 13 balls. Once again, he falls after a promising start.

Tilak Varma, the new batter is off the mark with a boundary.
