2.3 OUT! TAKEN! Dushmantha Chameera draws first blood! He bowls this fuller and on middle, angling in sharply. Brian Bennett stays back and looks to swipe it across the line but gets cramped up for room. He fails to swing his bat fully as it also turns in his hands. Ends up hitting it from the bottom of the bat straight to short mid-wicket, where Kusal Perera takes a good catch. Zimbabwe are 26/1! 26/1

14.3 OUT! STUMPED! Make it three for Dushan Hemantha! Tadiwanashe Marumani's beautiful inning has come to an end! Slower through the air and offers a googly, just outside off. Tadiwanashe Marumani charges down the track and fails to read the turn of the delivery. He looks to heave it away but misses, and Kusal Mendis does the rest. Marumani departs after a fine fifty, and Zimbabwe lose both the set batters now. 134/4

| Sean Williams | 23 | 11 | 5 | 0 | 209.09 |

6.5 OUT! TAKEN! Dushan Hemantha strikes in his first over! A fine bowling change from Charith Asalanka, and it has worked like a treat, as this partnership was looking threatening. Flighted delivery, full and around off, Sean Williams takes a couple of steps forward and tries to go big downtown. However, he cannot quite get underneath the ball and mistimes it in the air towards long off. Matheesha Pathirana comes forward a bit and takes a fine catch. Williams walks back for 23 off 11, and Zimbabwe are 65/2! 65/2

| Sikandar Raza C | 28 | 18 | 3 | 1 | 155.55 |
|
12.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Sikandar Raza was playing so well in front and towards square, but he somehow decides to go for the reverse sweep and falls prey to it. Tossed up around off, turning away from the batter. Sikandar Raza goes for a reverse sweep and gets it edged towards Kusal Perera at short third for a simple catch. The budding 56-run stand has been broken, and Zimbabwe are three down now. 121/3

| Ryan Burl | 26 | 15 | 1 | 2 | 173.33 |
|
18.1 OUT! CATSLED! Dushmantha Chameera, you beauty! He bowls right into the blockhole, on middle stump. Ryan Burl makes room toward the leg side to open the face of his bat to scoop it over the short third man fielder but fails to match the timing. The ball misses the willow and rattles the bottom of the middle stump. Zimbabwe are 175/6! 175/6

| Tashinga Musekiwa | 18 | 11 | 0 | 1 | 163.63 |
|
17.1 OUT! LBW! Binura Fernando joins the party now! He bowls a good yorker, on middle, shaping in. Tashinga Musekiwa shuffles across the off stump, with the intention to go big, but fails to flick the delivery as he has moved across too much and wears it on the pad. Appeal goes round and up goes the finger of the umpire. Zimbabwe lose half thier side now! 161/5

19.1 OUT! LBW! Maheesh Theekshana adds his name in the wicket list! Again a fuller, just behind the yorker length, on middle and leg. Brad Evans attempts to clip it but misses the line. The ball sneaks past the inner edge and pings on the lower pad. Appeal once again and the umpires says 'yes' to the call. 185/7

| Tinotenda Maposa | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 100 |
|
19.5 OUT! RUN OUT! Sri Lanka gets their eighth wicket! On a length, around off. Tony Munyonga stays back in his crease and knocks it toward left of the cover region. The batters agree on two, but Munyonga sents his partner back a bit late. Tinotenda Maposa is halfway on the track when the call was rejected. He tries to sprint back and dives to reach his home at the striker's end, but Kusal Mendis does well to glove the throw from Kamil Mishara and thumps the stump a bit early. 187/8
