July 10, 2015  15:42

India 204-5 (45 ovs) vs Zim | Scorecard

Panyangara comes back. Rayudu looks to loft the first ball straight over the bowler but fails to middle it for just a single to mid-off. Two balls later Binny comes down and chips it over the covers for a four followed by two runs through midwicket. He then gets an edge for two more runs and keeps strike with a single from the last ball. Binny takes his score to 47, to register his highest score in ODIs going past the 44 he made against England earlier this year.

Vitori follows it up with a tidy over giving away four singles but Rayudu and Binny are able to bring up their 100-run partnership in that over as India's total continues to grow.

In the next over, Binny takes a single to bring up his fifty from 63 balls, having hit three fours and a six. Rayudu slog sweeps the next ball from Panyangara over midwicket for a six.

The next ball is a full toss which Rayudu hits through midwicket for a four to bring up his century in some style, from 117 balls.

It turns out to be the most productive over of the Indian innings as Panyangara gives away 15 runs with India reaching 204 for five in 45 overs.
