- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR14.4 But he's got his man now! It's the top spinner from Vandersay, pitching on off and goes past Kaitano's forward defence to rap him on the back pad. He thinks about referring but smartly decides against it. That was plumb. 80/129.1 Full, outside off and he attempts a slog sweep, with the ball catching his gloves and looping into the air. The keeper catches the ball and immediately refers it after the umpire denies the appeal. Replays show the ball caught the gloves, with a clear spike on ultra-edge. It's OUT! Chakabva falls for an excellent 72! 160/319.6 Castled! Kamindu with a peach of a delivery as the ball angles in, missing Ervine's front foot defence and clips the bails of the off stump! 110/249.1 It's over! A slower delivery deceives Williams, who attempts a wild swing and the ball clips the off stump. What a knock! 285/837.5 And the stumps are disturbed! That is a beauty from Chamika. Pitches outside off, draws the batter into the drive, but it's shaping in and then nips back off the surface to crash into off stump. 202/444.1 A slower ball, deceives Raza completely and raps the pads! Absolutely plumb and Nuwan Pradeep makes the breakthrough! 248/544.5 Full, well outside off and Burl can only mistime it, lofting the ball to the fielder at extra cover, with Shanaka taking the catch with glee 252/647.2 Oh dear! Williams slams a short, slower ball straight to the bowler and Karunaratne keeps his head, collecting the ball and running out Masakadza at the non-striker's end 269/749.4 OUT! A slower ball again! He attempts a wild slog sweep, misses the ball and is beaten all ends up.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR24.4 A big appeal from Regis, as the batter fishes for the ball outside off stump. Zimbabwe take the review, although the bowler did not look confident. Ultra-edge shows a blip with the ball near the edge, and it's given! A huge wicket for Zimbabwe as Nissanka falls! 147/36.4 Edged and taken! That's a crucial wicket for the visitors. Mendis is furious with himself though, and rightly so. This was short and wide and Mendis produces a nonchalant cut, but he can only manage a thin edge to the keeper. 40/113.6 But he's gone next ball! Kamindu tries to repeat the trick he pulled off at the start of the over, to guide the ball down to third man. But this time the ball nips back to catch the inside edge on the way to the stumps. 81/245.5 And he's got him! Chandimal goes for the pull again, but it's straight to Craig Ervine at short midwicket, who takes a good low diving catch. Is there a lifeline here? 276/447.6 Length ball jagging back in and raps Asalanka on the pads. Big appeal, umpire has a long think and eventually gives him out. But it's being reviewed. And he's gone>! Umpire's Call on impact is enough. 292/5Extras21 (b 4, lb 2, nb 1, w 14)TOTAL300/5 (48.3 Overs, RR: 6.18)Fall of wickets: 1-40 (Kusal Mendis, 6.4 ov), 2-81 (Kamindu Mendis, 13.6 ov), 3-147 (Pathum Nissanka, 24.4 ov), 4-276 (Dinesh Chandimal, 45.5 ov), 5-292 (Charith Asalanka, 47.6 ov)
