ZIM vs SL Live Cricket Score

50.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Finally, finally we have seen a wicket! Brilliant from Dimuth Karunaratne the skipper. Sri Lanka needed that wicket. Floated on off, Masvaure danxces down and looks to lift it over mid off but does not get the elevation. Dimuth moves to his left, tumbles and takes a good catch. Masvaure waits as he thinks that it is not a clean catch. But the Sri Lankan skipper claims it and the umpire sends the batter in his way.  96/1

75.3 OUT! LBW! Kasuza misses out on a full toss and he has to depart after playing a good knock on his debut. Kumara bowls a full toss on middle, swinging in a little. Kasuza looks to flick but misses to get hit on the pads. Kumara appeals and after thinking for a while, the umpire gives it out. Big, big wicket this for the Lankans. It looked like it was going over the stumps but it was dipping and might have gone onto hit the stumps.  164/2

107.2 OUT! Ervine drags it on! Massive breakthrough as Zimbabwe lose their set batsman. A nothing delivery to be honest. It's a touch short in length delivery, landing outside off, Ervine stands back to smash it through the line but it takes the inside edge and goes on to rattle the stumps. A disappointed Ervine returns, missing his century by 15 runs. Sri Lanka will be pleased to see his back.  247/5

91.5 OUT! STOP THE PRESS! Sri Lanka have a breakthrough at last. Relief writ large on the faces of the Lankan players. Lakmal looks at the heavens and thanks the Almighty. It's been really hard work for the visitors. There is some visible movement from the deck this time. Lakmal dishes out a fuller length ball around off and it nips back in a bit after hitting the deck. Taylor shapes up to flick it on the leg side but falls over a bit as he fails to connect. He is rapped on the pads, they appeal and the finger goes up. 44-run stand has been broken. There's an opening now, can Sri Lanka create more inroads?  208/3

106.3 OUT! Once again a wicket has fallen against the run of play! Embuldeniya tosses up a delivery outside off and lands it on a fuller length. It goes straight on as Williams gets forward to defend looking for an inward spin. It takes a slight outside edge and settles into the gloves of Dickwella. He makes no mistake, they appeal for a formality and umpire Erasmus raises his finger. Sean is disappointed on his way back.  247/4

128.4 OUT! STUMPED! Good work by Dickwella behind the stumps. Flighted delivery outside off, Raza comes down the track and looks to slog but misses the line completely. It goes towards the keeper and Dickwella does the rest as he takes the bails off. Raza departs after playing a very handy innings.  307/7

114.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Excellent catch by Mathews. Flighted delivery on middle, Chakabva comes down the track and lofts it uppishly towards mid on where Mathews dives to his left and takes a good low catch. Chakabva goes without troubling the scorers too much.  266/6

130.1 OUT! BOWLED! 5-fer for Lasith Embuldeniya. A tossed up delivery on middle, it is the straighter one, Jarvis fails to pick it up and looks to defend off the front foot but misses the line of the delivery. The ball sneaks through the bat and pad and shatters the stumps. The middle stump has gone for a toss. Zimbabwe tumbling at the death here!  309/8

139.1 OUT! CAUGHT! That is a bizarre way to get out but Ndlovu is very unlucky. Full ball on the pads, Ndlovu flicks it off the middle of the bat. The ball goes towards Kusal Mendis at short leg. It gets stuck between Mendis' legs and stays there. No one can quite believe what happened there, not Ndlovu, nor the Sri Lankan players!  328/9

148 OUT! CAUGHT! That is the end of the Zimbabwe innings as Nyauchi throws his wicket away. Back of a length ball outside off, Nyauchi looks to clear Sandakan, the substitute fielder, at point but he stretches his hands above his head and takes a simple catch. ZIMBABWE FINISH THEIR INNINGS ON 358!!!  358/10

29 OUT! Debutant jumps in delight! This is a breakthrough for Zimbabwe out of nowhere. Karunaratne is disappointed on his way back. 78 balls in the innings and he would have liked to get a kick on after the first hour. But alas, it has not happened. Not everything goes as per planned. It's a very soft dismissal to be honest. Nyauchi delivers a full length ball on middle and maybe there is some inward movement as it hits the deck. Dimuth leans forward to flick it across the line but does so uppishly. Ndlovu stationed at short mid-wicket goes down low and takes a sharp catch. The 60-run stand is broken, Sri Lanka trail by 266 runs.  92/2

11.1 OUT! BOWLED! Donald Tiripano comes into the attack and strikes gold or one must say, timber straightaway! Tiripano bowls a good length delivery just around off, it pitched and nipped back in. Fernando looks to defend but he plays outside the line of the delivery. It sneaks through bat and pad and the middle pole has been sent cartwheeling. The opening stand is broken and Zimbabwe will be looking to make further inroads now.  32/1

66.2 OUT! Caught! The stand is broken and Mendis is the man who departs. A century was on offer for Mendis but he has thrown it away. A full ball outside off, Mendis had been leaving these deliveries so far but this time he is lured into the shot. He goes for the drive away from his body. The ball takes the thick outside edge and goes straight to Taylor at first slip. He does not make any mistake there and Zimbabwe have the much-needed wicket. Sri Lanka still 173 runs behind.  184/3

81.4 OUT! Caught! Yes, it did hit the boot straight so Chandimal has to go. Zimbabwe celebrate. Chandimal is not happy but he has to depart. A fullish ball around middle and leg, Chandimal skips down the track and looks to flick but the ball takes the bottom edge and then lobs towards the bowler. The Zimbabwean skipper catches it and appeals. The umpires get together and refer it upstairs with the soft signal as not out. Now, the replays roll in. It looks like the ball hit the boot directly and not the turf and then it ballooned towards the bowler. The third umpire takes his time and checks different angles. There's very limited technology in this Test series. Eventually, Langton Rusere feels that there are clear shreds of evidence to overturn the soft call. Another good looking stand has been broken. Sri Lanka trail by 131 runs with 6 wickets in hand.  227/4

116.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Nyauchi has done it again for his team. He was called to break this stand and he delivers. De Silva would be disappointed. Victor bowls a full ball on off and de Silva looks to go downtown but he can only manage to chip it to the man at mid on where Prince takes the easiest of catches. The 98-run stand is finally broken and Zimbabwe would be happy to finally see the back of de Silva.  325/5

160.3 OUT! LBW! A wicket finally as the partnership is broken. Dickwella falls playing the shot he has been playing all day today. He goes for the sweep on this full ball but is way early into the shot as the ball beats him to rap him on the pads. As soon as the ball hits the pad, the bowler goes up in appeal and later the team joins in. The umpire takes his time and finally raises the finger. So another wicket goes down for Sri Lanka but they continue to steer their innings in the same old way.  461/6

173.4 OUT! Stumped! Brilliant stuff from Chakabva. Lakmal has to go. Very sharp work from the keeper. A full ball on leg, Lakmal looks to flick but misses. The ball goes through his legs and Chakabva behind grabs the ball nicely and whips the bails off in a flash. There is no need to go for the third umpire.  510/7

173.5 OUT! Bowled! Two in two. Embuldeniya falls for a golden duck. Raza floats this one around off, Embuldeniya looks to defend but plays the wrong line and the ball goes behind to disturb the off pole. Raza on a hat-trick now.  510/8

176.2 OUT! LBW! 9 down! Full ball on middle and leg, Rajitha goes for the sweep but he is way too early into the shot. He misses to get hit on the pads. Williams roars out an appeal and the umpire raises his finger.  515/9

18.2 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Lakmal strikes and this is brilliant bowling from the speedster! Length ball outside off, it is angling in but straightens after pitching. Masvaure had to play at this ball and he looks to poke at it. The ball goes off the outside edge and into the mitts of Niroshan Dickwella. He makes no mistake and they start celebrating. The umpire raises his finger and Masvaure has to go after grinding it out for 58 balls.  33/1

20.3 OUT! LBW! Lakmal strikes again and a complete error in judgement from Mudzinganyama! Sri Lanka are on top here. Fullish delivery outside off, angling into the batsman, Mudzinganyama is in two minds whether to defend or leave it. He does the latter and the ball goes onto hit his pads outside the off pole line. Lakmal and the rest put in a huge appeal and the umpire obliges as he raises the dreaded finger. The impact won't matter as Mudzinganyama had left the ball alone. The ball must be crashing into the stumps and the decision to leave this ball is a bad one by Mudzinganyama.  36/2

22.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Lakmal gets another and Ervine departs now. Zimbabwe are crumbling here and they need to stand strong here to get back in this game. Lakmal certainly deserves this wicket as he has been bowling his heart out since the first innings. Full delivery on off, tailing in, Ervine flicks it towards mid-wicket but does so uppishly. It goes straight into the hands of Dimuth Karunaratne at short mid-wicket who takes a good catch. Zimbabwe still trail by 118 runs with just 7 wickets in hand. Sri Lanka have certainly breathed life into a match which seemed dead so far!  41/3

44.3 OUT! CAUGHT! What a piece of field placement from the Sri Lankan skipper, Dimuth Karunatne. Lakmal has done the trick again. Excellent start to the afternoon session for the Lankans. Lakmal dishes out a full delivery on middle, Taylor without much feet movement looks to push it. It goes uppishly towards silly mid on where Mendis lunges forward and takes the simplest of catches. Just 6 wickets away from victory now.  120/4

45.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Sean Williams, the Zimbabwe skipper departs now and half the side back in the hut. Rajitha joins the party now and Sri Lanka inching closer to victory. Back of a length ball, angling into the batter, it pitches and moves away from Sean. Williams could have left this ball alone but decides to have a poke at it. It takes the outside edge of the bat and goes to the keeper. Dickwella behind the stumps makes no mistake and takes a simple catch. The umpires want to check if this is a no ball but the replays are inconclusive as the angle of the replay is not clear. The umpires decide to stay with the on-field decision and Williams continues his walk back to the pavilion. The hosts still behind by 37 runs and have just 5 wickets in hand.  120/5

62.1 OUT! Stumped! Yes, he has! Very sharp work from Dickwella behind the wicket. The stand is broken and Sri Lanka are once again right into the game. Embuldeniya lures the batsman with a flighted ball outside off, Raza looks to drive but misses and in the process loses his footing too. Dickwella collects the ball quickly and whips the bails off. He looks really confident. The square leg umpire refers it upstairs. The replays roll in and it confirms that Raza has failed to drag his back leg back in time. He has to go and with him Zimbabwe's hope of drawing this game takes a massive dive.  148/6

92 OUT! BOWLED! Embuldeniya hammers the final nail in the Zimbabwean coffin. He bowls a flatter trajectory on off, Chakabva rocks on the back foot to force it towards point. He was looking to retain the strike with a single here but the ball takes the under edge and clatters into the stumps. ZIMBABWE END ON 170!  170/10

82 OUT! LBW! Kumara strikes with the second new ball. Tiripano's resistance ends here. Kumara lands one on a length around off and brings the ball into the pads. Tiripano looks to play the original line but the ball beats his defense and hits him flush on the pads. The bowler immediately appeals and the umpire raises the dreaded finger. Sri Lanka are on the verge of a victory here. They need three wickets to wrap up this Zimbabwe innings. Can they wrap it up quickly?  159/7

86 OUT! CASTLED! Jarvis was playing everything off the back foot and that brings his downfall too. Kumara after bowling back of a length ball goes fuller this time. Jarvis was hanging on the back foot anticipating a short one and so has less time to adjust and come on the front foot. He though looks to push the ball off the back foot but the ball swings a bit and sneaks past the inside edge to disturb the furniture behind. The umpire though go upstairs for a no ball check but Kumara is fine and Sri Lanka edging ahead towards victory here.  163/8

89.4 OUT! TIMBER! No. 9 goes down. Kumara takes his third of the innings. The new ball has done wonders for the Lankans here. Once again, Kumara lands it on a length and makes the ball swing in towards the batsman. Ndlovu goes for the forward push but is late in bringing his bat down in time and the ball takes the inside edge to shatter the wood work behind.  165/9
