Aerial from George, and brilliantly taken at point by Mayes!! First breakthrough for the Young Lions. George will be a bit disappointed as he could not keep his drive down, with the outside edge carrying to the fielder.

A decent start from the Indian openers, who are not letting the ocassion get the better of them. A wider delivery from Green allows Sooryavanshi to open up his arms, getting off the mark with a boundary.
With the national anthems and other pre-match formalities, India's opening pair of Goerge and Sooryavanshi are out at the crease. England have given the new ball to Morgan. We are underway in Harare!
