00:003 for 32 India in dire straits at the moment and Vinod Kamble comes to the wicket to join Navjot Sidhu
00:10Vinod Kamble has a fine average in one day cricket but he'll have to improve on that today because India need a big knock from him
00:16That's beautifully stroked by Kamble straight down the ground and once it beat the bowler it was four runs on the way
00:30Lovely piece of timing
00:34Vinod Kamble uses a very very heavy bat and he's got several grips on that handle over there
00:41Becomes a very thick handle and you can see how effective that heavy bat is
00:48Not much of a follow through over there
00:52Very very good timing
00:54Over pitched and that was hit back to Brian Strang
01:07One just gets the impression that it carried all the way
01:13Well Brian Strang does have a very well disguised lower one
01:19That's how he got Mohammed Azharuddin in here
01:22Vinod Kamble here playing a little too soon
01:31Down the track comes Kamble and plays it beautifully over Midon
01:36To the pitch of the ball and going through with the shot
01:39Welcome boundary for India 56 for 3
01:57That's a good shot, beautifully placed
02:03Quick to get on to that bad ball
02:06It's really short, doesn't have a mid on there, it's really short
02:11Kamble going on the back foot, watching it till the very end
02:14Playing it beautifully into that vacant area of long on
02:26A bit of good fortune there for Kamble, inside edge but it's finished up being well placed
02:35Well it's quantity and not the quality that matters in one day cricket
02:40As you see Kamble wanting to drive it on to Midon
02:46Taking side edge, a good ball
02:48That's a very good line that Strang has bowled all throughout
02:58That's the 50 partnership between Kamble and Sidhu
03:03These two consolidating the position for India
03:07Keeping the right balls, keeping the scoreboard moving
03:11Ones and twos, not letting the bowler get on top of them
03:20Just over the bowler's head and well placed in the end
03:25Nicely struck, getting a little bit of room
03:29Ball pitched further away from the batsman
03:34Right on top of that, on the rise
03:37But we can see that didn't go really very high as much as Kamble would have intended
03:41As Ian has been saying earlier that it will be really difficult to hit it on the up
03:45But anyways a good shot, fetching four runs
03:48Excellent placement again, really making the fieldsman hustle out there
04:01That's a marvellous piece of fielding, a full toss from Stephen Peel
04:06Both the spinners from Zimbabwe are not really trying to bowl quick
04:11But give a bit of air, pushing the ball through in, not really quick
04:14There we see a marvellous piece of fielding, a certain four, cut into just two
04:26Well hit
04:30Just short of the boundary rope
04:36Losing his feet really well, Vinod Kamble
04:40Getting right on top of the ball, with the swing
04:45Straight over the bowler's head, it's a superb shot
04:49That is what the crowd wants
05:01The boundary has brought up the century for India
05:05Vinod Kamble now nearing his half century
05:09And it's been a quick one too, strike rate is excellent
05:12And he has hit straight
05:17It's been a feature of his play, when he's hit the ball in the air he's hit it straight down the ground
05:22That's the safest place on a cricket field
05:34That's when you consider that it's a slot for India in the one day games
06:05Kamble's looking for his 50
06:08It's good fielding once again
06:11It's 108 for 3
06:24There's 50 for Vinod Kamble
06:35That's an inning of character by Vinod Kamble
06:40Absolutely marvellous, coming into position on India with 32 for 3
06:44He's in a good strike rate as well, 50 or 56 balls
06:49It's a good look at the position for India
06:52Adding 80 runs for the 4th wicket
06:57I would always feel that captains generally are looking for that 125-30 mark in 30 overs
07:04And the captain might be feeling short about 15 or 20
07:07But then the early loss of wickets have not really affected the later on situation for India
07:12The job for Vinod Kamble now is to go on and try and make it 3 figures, as is the job for his partner
07:17The job for Vinod Kamble now is to go on and try and make it 3 figures, as is the job for his partner
07:38Man out there, and he's dropped it
07:43Steven Peel will be mortified
07:46Straight forward chance, wasn't difficult at all
07:51Had to just move out a few yards onto his right
07:54Full toss from Steven Peel, thank you said Kamble, he didn't connect it well
07:59I'd say quite a simple catch straight
08:05I'd say quite a simple catch straight to Zand
08:08Lost those 3 wickets early on, with only 32 on the board
08:12Sunny with the quarter final coming up, this should be very good news for India
08:17It is, no question about it, because both Kamble and Sidhu have been short of runs
08:24Sidhu in fact has not been in the Indian team for the past couple of games
08:28So this partnership, very very important, not just from the team's point of view, but also from the individual point of view
08:44Beautifully played by Kamble here, waited on it, opened the face of the blade and got the placement absolutely right
08:51Square of the wicket on the offside, 138 for 3
08:58Well, this is the second time in three years that I've been in the Indian team
09:05I've been in the Indian team for three years, I've been in the Indian team for three years
09:09I've been in the Indian team for three years, I've been in the Indian team for three years
09:12I've been in the Indian team for three years, I've been in the Indian team for three years
09:15I've been in the Indian team for three years, I've been in the Indian team for three years
09:18I've been in the Indian team for three years, I've been in the Indian team for three years
09:21I've been in the Indian team for three years, I've been in the Indian team for three years
09:24I've been in the Indian team for three years, I've been in the Indian team for three years
09:28In quick succession that Vinod Kamble has been put down
09:31And the Zimbabweans might well rue this drop chance
09:35Well, Kamble took that excellent catch to get rid of Mahmud Azharuddin diving forward
09:40And this is in cricketing parlour
09:47Beautifully played on the offside by Vinod Kamble
09:50Stepping back on that back foot and thrashing it through the covers
09:54So 250 is going to be a tough target
09:57Yes, and after lunch it could still go slower and lower
10:00As you've seen the basic tradition and has been the character of this wicket
10:07Is that it goes slower and lower as the game goes by
10:10So 250 definitely is a very good score
10:13Until and unless India bowl very badly, they are in with just four regular bowlers
10:18And we'll be expecting Sachin Tendulkar and Jadeja to share as the fifth bowler
10:25Kamble on 99
10:33There's the 100 for the young man, a very excited player he is
10:44That's very well played by Kamble, he played superb innings
10:49Coming in that situation in India with three down for 32
10:53Getting his second 100 in style
10:56The first being at Jaipur against England in January 1993
10:59And this is how he got it
11:01Getting right on top of the ball
11:03And look at that jubilation
11:06It's been a long time since he got into runs
11:08Definitely is a very happy man
11:12To stop the balls
11:14So the situation with just 3.3 overs to go
11:17That is not a bad strategy
11:27And Zimbabwe doing well so far
11:29Cutting down on the boundaries
11:30But that's excellent running to get back to the second
11:33Fuller length, wanting to bowl into the block hole
11:37Bowling well wide
11:39Giving the batsmen an opportunity
11:43To take two runs
12:03Well played, third man is up
12:10That's brilliant batting
12:17Again a fuller length, outside the off stump
12:21Kamble waiting till the very end, letting the ball come on
12:24Just guiding it past to the vacant third man of the ball
12:28Look at that
12:30Not wanting to bowl up into the block hole
12:32And that is what basically is done by bowlers
12:35Bowling into these slog overs
12:37Kamble really doing well
12:39Might have even got a wide head
12:41If he had not connected that
12:53And long on, and it's straight down his throat
12:56Grant Flair taking the catch
12:58The catch there was well taken
12:59Because that was drilled flat and hard
13:02That ends in excellent innings from Vinod Kamble
13:06Superb innings of character
13:08It was quite obvious that after he gets his hundred
13:10He'll go for the shots
13:11Which he exactly did
13:13After playing that lovely late cut for four
13:17On this occasion wanting to hit him over the top
13:19As we've been talking from the very beginning
13:22It won't be that easy to hit it over the top
13:24But on this occasion he's not able to clear it
13:26Kamble has gone for a brilliant 106
13:28And they are 219 for 5
