That's it from all of us here. Please do join us for the fourth ODI which promises to be a cracker. Till then, good night from all of us here

Zimbabwe have defended 129 runs to claim the win by 3 runs. Some good bowling all round, led by Chatara who , like Williams and Mpofu, grabbed 3 wickets. A Stanikzai top scored with a handy 31 but it wasn't enough to help his team cross the line.

Sean Williams and Tendai Chatara are the joint winners of Man of the match award.
