4.6 to KNM Fernando, Gone this time! Brilliant from Raza at first slip! This was a length outside off, and Madushka can't help but chase this one. Thick edge, and it looks destined to fizz over the slip cordon, but Raza pulls out a tremendous two-handed overhead grab. The ball nearly takes him with it, but he holds on! 13-ball duck for Madushka. 9/1 49.6 to PHKD Mendis, Scorcher from Ngarava to end the innings! Pinpoint yorker has flattened Kamindu's middle stump, as Kamindu is gone for 57. Sri Lanka end on 298 for 6. 298/6 | ||||||||||
| 10 | 1 | 65 | 1 | 6.50 | 29 | 6 | 2 | 1 | 0 | |
32.4 to P Nissanka, Clive Madande the substitute keeper might have taken a wonderful catch diving forward. This was a wide-ish ball, but not that short. Crucially, it is also a slower one. Nissanka throws his bat at it and seems to have got a little tickle on the ball. But because it's a slower one, it is dying on keeper Madande. He springs forward off both feet and then gets his gloves juuuuust underneath it, I think. Superb piece of keeping. Third umpire confirms that that is out. Madande is only on the field because of the finger injury to starting keeper Brendan Taylor, remember. Nissanka's excellent innings ends.. 139/3 | ||||||||||
| 6.2 | 0 | 61 | 1 | 9.63 | 11 | 8 | 1 | 0 | 0 | |
36.1 to KIC Asalanka, consecutive wickets for Zimbabwe, and now they have two new batters at the crease. This was Gwandu taking advantage of the little extra bounce in this surface, and Asalanka misjudging it, to pop a catch out to point, where Raza makes no mistake. He had played an upper-cut type shot to a back of a length ball outside off, but the bounce meant he edged it. Sri Lanka now struggling.. 161/5 | ||||||||||

| 10 | 0 | 48 | 1 | 4.80 | 31 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
35.6 to S Samarawickrama, nails him in front! That's the second sweep Sadeera has missed this over, and that has hit him right in front of middle and off. The umpire has little hesitation in giving him out - this looked pretty plumb. Raza had pushed this one through again on a slightly fuller length, But he beat Sadeera with his pace.. 161/4 | ||||||||||
| 6 | 0 | 26 | 1 | 4.33 | 22 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 0 | |
26.2 to BKG Mendis, excellent catch running back from cover by Madhevere. This didn't go high, but it hung in the air for a bit, suggesting the wind was getting involved making it harder. This was a leading edge as Kusal Mendis attempted to drag a fullish delivery from well outside off, through midwicket. Madhevere ran in the wrong direction initially, tracking it over his shoulder. But then he corrected course and got hands to it with a dive. 109/2 | ||||||||||

0.1 to BJ Bennett, Breakthrough off the first ball! This one skids through off a back of a length outside off. Bennett goes for the pull but he's all muddled up. Top edge off the bottom the bat, and it's straight up in the air. Easy take for the man at point.. 0/1 0.4 to BRM Taylor, And Taylor's return is a short one! This was back of a length outside off once more, and Taylor has a loose flash away from the body. This one goes to cover fast, but he reacts quickly and takes a smart catch over his head. Zimbabwe are two down and not a run on the board. 0/2 25.5 to BJ Curran, Asitha does the job he's been brought in for! Curran has to go! This was a short one outside off, and again Asitha's pace proves deceptive. This rushes Curran as he looks for the pull, and can only manage a top edge. The ball loops gently to mid-on who makes no mistake. 140/4 | ||||||||||

29.6 to W Madhevere, Liyanage has taken a fantastic grab at third man! They go upstairs to check this, but it looked good on first look - and so it is confirmed. This was a short one, pace-on, and Madhevere connects nicely with the ramp. It sails towards the onrushing Liyanage, who springs forward and holds on just inches off the ground. 161/5 49.1 to Sikandar Raza, Oh my word, he's crushed middle stump! Big gaps on the onside and Raza moves across looking to sweep this for four. But this a yorker on the base of middle stump. And quick. Raza has to trudge of desolately. 289/6 49.2 to B Evans, Two in two! Full outside off, looks for the scoop but it can't clear short fine who peddles back and holds on smartly! Harare is silenced.. 289/7 49.3 to R Ngarava, Hattrick for Madushanka! Talk about your redemption arcs, a forgettable day is fast becoming one to be etched in stone! This was quick and straight and Ngarava had no choice but to swing at it. Too good for him though, far too good. 289/8 | ||||||||||

22.2 to SC Williams, Williams has thrown it away! They were baiting Williams into these kinds of strokes, hoping for the error, and they've found it. Williams gets really good hold of this sweep off a length, but this time it's in the air and straight at the man at deep backward square leg, who makes no mistake. Sri Lanka have the breakthrough. 118/3 | ||||||||||
