Welcome back for the run-chase! Zimbabwe have a steep task in front of them and they would have to hit their straps straightaway. Mukesh Kumar to start off with the new ball. Here we go...

Welcome back for the run-chase!
Ruturaj Gaikwad: It was pretty much tough, the first 15 balls I played, I didn’t even middle a single ball. Wicket was slightly tough, me and Abhishek talked that we should take our time and then go for our shots and it worked. He took on the spinners really well, we talked about maintaining our shape while playing our shots, the wicket was slightly two-paced, some balls were skidding and some were holding up. I think we need to stick to hard lengths, stick to good lengths, just Test match lengths, keep it simple and try to hit top of off.
