victory for Zimbabwe. Length ball on the stumps, Young moves across and looks to flick it uppishly but misses. The ball hits him on the thigh and drops near the stumps. Ngarava collects it in his followthrough and breaks the stumps with an underarm throw to find Little short

Balbirnie lifts the trophy, with his team-mates cheering. Himanshu's report will be up soon. Do read it if you missed the game. That's all from our side for this game. See you soon.
Andy Balbirnie: I think we you lose any game, it's a concern. The guys are well aware of. We came back really well after the first game. A bit of a blip today but really nice to win a series against a team like Zimbabwe. We know what to expect when we come against them next week in the one-dayers. Looking forward to that.
Paul Stirling is the Player of the Series. "Disappointing day today but overall it was good series," he says. "Always good to set the tone [with Kevin O'Brien] and I hope we keep doing it. Delighted to get back to the ODI format, a series two very similar teams."
Craig Ervine is the Player of the Match. "It was nice for Myers to stick around," he says. "We felt we were 25-30 runs short. When you score runs, you get the confidence, that's what we are lacking at the moment. We didn't have a good series but this win is very important just for the team morale, to take into the ODI series next week."
Time for the presentation ceremony.
Phineas: "Ireland is highly dependant on Stirling...this is a very good example" --- Or at least on top three.
6.23pm Zimbabwe started the series by defending a low-scoring contest. They ended it in the same way. But in between, they lost the three games to end on the wrong side of a 3-2 series result. It wasn't a big total but Jongwe and Tiripano rocked the chase by picking up two wickets each early. Getkate and Rock put the chase back on track and run rate was never a problem. But Zimbabwe struck back to dismiss both in successive overs. The lower order failed to step up as Zimbabwe wrapped a five-run win.
Azweer: "Ngarava turning out to be "A Master of defending" in the last over..."
