Two more singles for India.

The spider-cam takes the chance to take a spin around Rohit as Blessing Muzarabani paces out his run-up.

Rahul has hit that brilliantly into the sea of flags! That's a good shot.

Oooh, that's big.

KL Rahul's had a slow start but he's picked that one up perfectly. Ngarva drops it slightly short and Rahul clips it insouciantly off his hip and into the Melbourne crowd.

Effortless and perfectly placed.

Our first boundary off the final ball of the over, Rohit advancing to hit Chatara back down the ground.

The masses of India flags in the crowd are back in fllight.

And India are off the mark.

Rohit Sharma turns Tendai Chatara into the leg side to get his side's tally going with the tenth ball of the match.

Excellent start from Richard Ngarava!

It's a maiden to set us off, with the seamer beating the bat of KL Rahul on multiple occasions. Really promising for Zimbabwe.

Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul are stood hands on hips while the stadium teams complete the various formalities.

Richard Ngarava is at the end of his run-up. Let's get on with it.

Zimbabwe may have no hope of qualifying for the semi-finals in this tournament, but they do have something to play for in this tournament.

A win would secure them fourth place in the group and an automatic place in the Super Group in the 2024 edition of this competition, to be held in the West Indies and USA in summer 2024. That'd be absolutely huge for them.

Both teams are out on the field for the national anthems.

We've seen substantial support for India wherever they've played in this tournament and tonight is no exception with the MCG awash with blue shirts.

We've had our trouble with rain in Melbourne during this tournament. We're not entirely clear of any chance of rain tonight, but at the we've got light grey cloud hanging over the stadium. That'll do us.

India: Rohit Sharma (c), KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant (wk), Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh

Zimbabwe: Wesley Madhevere, Craig Ervine (c), Regis Chakabva (wk), Sean Williams, Sikandar Raza, Tony Munyonga, Ryan Burl, Tendai Chatara, Richard Ngarava, Wellington Masakadza, Blessing Muzarabani

Both captains have been out in the middle of the cavernous MCG, with Rohit Sharma calling correctly for India and putting his side into bat.

One change for India, with Rishabh Pant returning behind the stumps for Dinesh Karthik. Zimbabwe switch-up two places in their line-up with Wellington Masakadza and Tony Munyonga replacing Milton Shumba and Luke Jongwe.

Three World Cup games in one day? You lucky people!

So where are we? The Netherlands's surprise defeat of South Africa started us off, before Pakistan's victory over Bangladesh saw them leap to the top of group two. Now our eyes turn back to the MCG, where semi-final qualifiers India will be hoping their rivals' hold on the top of the table lasts for a matter of hours, and that a routine win against Zimbabwe will see them face England in Adelaide on Tuesday.

But let's not be too hasty.

Every single team bar Afghanistan, who experienced two wash-outs, in this Super Group stage have a win on their books. The Netherlands and Ireland head home with significant pride having beaten more storied opponents, while Zimbabwe have already defeated Pakistan.

Have we got one more shock in store? Let's find out...
