- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.6 that's a brilliant return catch. Masakadza does all the hard work, sees off the new ball and falls at the stroke of drinks. Off-cutter from Gunaratne, pitches on a length and stops on him a bit and Masakadza is early into the shot, pushes it out to the right of the bowler who flings himself and snaffles it 67/23.1 edged and this time taken. Masakadza was given a life but no such luck for Mire. Good length ball, draws the batsman forward by tempting him in the corridor. Mire pushes forward and the ball nips away off the seam just enough to take a healthy edge and give the wicketkeeper a straightforward catch 11/116.5 Two in two for Sri Lanka! Non-turning dart outside off, this was short enough for the cut but the execution was awry. Ervine slashes with leaden feet and snicks it behind to Dickwella 74/324.1 starts off with a loopy middle-stump full-toss, which should have been whooped over deep backward square leg. Instead, Williams stretches out and sweeps it in the air to Pradeep. Williams swipes his bat on the turf and trudges back. The sweeps and reverse-sweeps aren't really working today 102/520.6 Sandakan strikes again, kisses his collar, and celebrates. Raza now ventures a reverse-sweep, by stretching out. But this bounced more than he expected it to. He can't control the shot and simply splices it to backward point. Excellent overhead catch from Pradeep 91/426.2 another Zimbabwe batsman perishes to the sweep! Looped up higher again, Burl attempts the reverse-sweep and misses, as the ball dips and bowls him around his legs. Replays indicate that the ball rattled the stumps via a deflection off the pad 119/633.2 Hasaranga gets his first international wicket. Loops one up outside off and Waller goes for a big slog. The ballkeeps low and comes on straight with the arm, gets a healthy inside-edge that takes out the bails 155/830.6 Sandakan caps his spell with the wicket of Moor! This one skids back in, as opposed to turning away, ends on off stump. Moor attempts a risky cut and ends up dragging it back onto the off stump via a thick inside edge 147/733.3 back-to-back wickets for the debutant. He's on a hat-trick here. This is the wrong'un from the leggie. FLoats it up outside off and Tiripano comes forward playing for the spin having not picked it at all.Spins in to beat the inside edge and hit him on the pad. GIven straight away by the umpire and he doesn't even bother reviewing 155/933.4 hat-trick on debut. Incredible scenes here at Galle. Hasaranga's team-mates run up to him, mob him, vigorously ruffle his air. Overflow of joy in the Sri Lankan camp. This is another googly,the perfect delivery to a tailender. This one pitches even wider outside off. Chatara sticks the bat out, does not move the feet at all, he is stapled to the crease as he pokes at it. Ends up leaving a daylight between bat and pad and the ball crashes into the stumps 155/10Extras12 (b 1, lb 5, nb 2, w 4)TOTAL155 all out (33.4 Overs, RR: 4.6)Fall of wickets: 1-11 (Solomon Mire, 3.1 ov), 2-67 (Hamilton Masakadza, 15.6 ov), 3-74 (Craig Ervine, 16.5 ov), 4-91 (Sikandar Raza, 20.6 ov), 5-102 (Sean Williams, 24.1 ov), 6-119 (Ryan Burl, 26.2 ov), 7-147 (Peter Moor, 30.6 ov), 8-155 (Malcolm Waller, 33.2 ov), 9-155 (Donald Tiripano, 33.3 ov), 10-155 (Tendai Chatara, 33.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR18.2 Dickwella plops a return catch. Soft as wax. Cremer lobs it up just outside off, full, turns in, Dickwella does not meet the pitch and ends up chipping a low catch to the Zimbabwe captain 77/32.1 dragged on. Zimbabwe get the early breakthrough they were looking for. Chatara lets out a roar. It was short, yes, but not drifting away wide enough, Gunathilaka gets slightly tucked up for room and ends up under-edging the pull to the stumps 9/12.2 strangled down the leg side. Oh, dear, Sri Lanka! The crowd has been stunned into silence. This ball is drifting down the leg side. Mendis is looking for a trickle fine but the ball goes too fine, fine enough for the keeper to dive to his left and snaffle it 10/2Extras12 (b 2, lb 2, nb 2, w 6)TOTAL158/3 (30.1 Overs, RR: 5.23)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (Danushka Gunathilaka, 2.1 ov), 2-10 (Kusal Mendis, 2.2 ov), 3-77 (Niroshan Dickwella, 18.2 ov)
