Rather than declare and try to force a result, the Indians opted to give all their team time at the crease in front of a tiny crowd on day which provide little entertainment. The Indians suffered a batting collapse as VVS Laxman (28), Mohammad Kaif (4) and Yuvraj Singh (1) all fell to indifferent strokes. Two batsmen who applied themselves were Dinesh Kaarthick (40) and Anil Kumble (61).
Sourav Ganguly made 46, but retired with a sore arm, although he was fit enough to resume his innings. He later said that he has been having pain in his right elbow since the tri-series which preceded this game. However, he intends to play the two Tests against Zimbabwe over the next two weeks before submitting himself for a scan.
The Zimbabwe Board XI had enough time to reach 96 for 1 second time round.
