  • 147.6

    OUT! Caught (Sub). Suranga Lakmal to Victor Nyauchi. Short, outside off stump on the back foot cutting, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to point.
    A tame end to the innings. The short ball was causing problems to Nyauchi and it seemed to be a matter of time before he was dismissed. 358 will be the total for Zimbabwe and that is a superb effort. They might have wanted more after the top three all scored fifties but Sri Lanka fought back very well today to restrict them.
    Should be some movement with the new ball so if they put it in the right areas a couple of wickets could fall tonight.

  • 147.5

    FOUR! Suranga Lakmal to Victor Nyauchi. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot Steer, outside edge past third man for 4 runs. Just wide enough to find the gap in the slips. All the luck is with Nyauchi at the minute.

    Suranga Lakmal to Donald Tiripano. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, to short mid wicket for no runs, fielded by Mendis.
    Long session in the field but Sri Lankan will be happy with their efforts in the afternoon. Four big wickets which means just the one more scalp and they will be the ones having a chance to bat on this flat deck. Tiripano might still have something to say about that as he has looked to add some quick runs recently along with the debutant Nyauchi.

  • 145.5

  • 176.2

    OUT! L.B.W. Sean Williams to Kasun Rajitha. Stock length ball, off stump on the front foot sweeping, hit pad to. Rajitha attempts to sweep from the stumps, there isn't any turn, but he gets pinned on the back leg in front of all three. That is stone dead. Williams gets his second wicket.

    Sri Lanka declare with an hour to go in the day and with a lead of 157. Zimbabwe have a tricky 17 over period to get through to close. The pitch is still flat, but it becomes a mental game after so long in the fielder. Can they keep their concentration and prevent the visitors going 1-0 up?

  • 176.1

    Sean Williams to Kasun Rajitha. Stock length ball, outside off stump on the front foot working, to backward square leg for no runs, fielded by Nyauchi.

  • 175.6

    FOUR! Sikandar Raza to Angelo Mathews. Googly half volley, outside off stump on the front foot sweeping, well timed in the air under control past deep backward square leg for 4 runs. Mathews gets there! Down on one knee, and he carts it over square leg where there isn't a fielder in sight. A classy knock from Angelo. He made sure he was going big, and ground down the Zimbabwe bowlers over the last two days. Superb stuff from the Sri Lankan veteran.

  • 175.5

    Sikandar Raza to Angelo Mathews. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, to silly mid on for no runs, fielded by Butt.

  • 173.6

    Sikandar Raza to Kasun Rajitha. Quicker ball yorker, off stump on the front foot defending, bat-pad to silly point for no runs, fielded by Williams. Agonisingly close to the hattrick. Raza spears it into the boot of Rajitha, but the tailender just manages to get the bat down in time to dig it out.

  • 173.5

    OUT! Bowled. Sikandar Raza to Lasith Embuldeniya. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, missed. Two in two for Sikandar Raza! This is a fabulous delivery. Round the wicket to the left hander, the slightest bit of turn, and that is enough to beat the edge. The off stump gets flattened, and Embuldeniya is gone for a golden duck.

  • 173.4

    OUT! Stumped. Sikandar Raza to Suranga Lakmal. Quicker ball half volley, down leg side on the front foot flick, missed to wicketkeeper, by Chakabva. Raza gets his second. Fantastic work with the gloves from Regis Chakabva. It was a fast delivery in at the toes, and it nutmegs Lakmal. The Sri Lankan isn't sure where the ball has ended up, and falls out of the crease. A sharp take from the keeper, and he whips off the bails in no time.

  • 173.3

    Sikandar Raza to Angelo Mathews. Off break half volley, outside off stump down the track driving, to long on for 1 run, fielded by Williams.

  • 171.6

    SIX! Ainsley Ndlovu to Suranga Lakmal. Stock length ball, outside off stump down the track Slog, well timed in the air under control over long on for 6 runs. Lakmal charges out the crease, and deposits this onto the roof over long on. A monster hit from the seam bowler. He didn't need a second invitation after the ball was tossed up.

  • 171.5

  • 91.6

    OUT! Bowled. Lasith Embuldeniya to Regis Chakabva. Stock ball back of a length, off stump on the back foot cutting, missed to. Got him! Chakabva was looking to poke it into the offside for a single, but the ball skids on past the edge to clip the top of the bails! His stay at the crease ends, and Zimbabwe's lead is just 13.

    Sri Lanka have 13 overs to get these 14 runs to win then. A spirited effort from the hosts, but it just won't be quite enough to salvage the draw. A short break before the visitors come back out to knock off this small total.

  • 91.5

    Lasith Embuldeniya to Regis Chakabva. Stock length ball, middle stump on the front foot defending, back to bowler for no runs, fielded by Embuldeniya.

  • 90.4

    FOUR! Suranga Lakmal to Regis Chakabva. Length ball, off stump on the front foot glancing, well timed past fine leg for 4 runs. Lakmal errs too straight, and Chakabva tickles this off the pads delicately. Gets it fine enough to beat the fielder running round on the boundary edge. Important runs!

  • 90.3

  • 89.4

    OUT! Bowled. Lahiru Kumara to Ainsley Ndlovu. Length ball, outside off stump on the back foot defending, inside edge to. Through him. Kumara makes a mess of the stumps again. Ndlovu is completely beaten for pace here. He brings the bat down far too late, gets a thin inside edge, and the leg stump flies out the ground. Sri Lanka are just one away.

    Lahiru Kumara to Ainsley Ndlovu. Half volley, off stump on the front foot pushing, back to bowler for no runs, fielded by Kumara.

    Both teams are fighting extremely hard here. It is wonderful viewing. Test Match cricket at its finest. A fantastic end to the five days. There is so much tension in the air in Harare.

  • 2.6

    Donald Tiripano to Dimuth Karunaratne. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, to deep extra cover for 1 run, fielded by Masvaure.

    Sri Lanka win by ten wickets! They only just had enough time to get there, as the light was starting to fade in Harare, and there was only 10 overs left scheduled in the day. Zimbabwe fought hard all the way, but they weren't quite good enough on this final day to grind out the draw. It was a fantastic Test Match. Angelo Mathews will take most of the headlines for his maiden double century, but there were brilliant individual performances across both sides. So the visitors go 1-0 up in the series with one to play. Join us again on Monday for the next game.

    FOUR! Victor Nyauchi to Dimuth Karunaratne. Back of a length, down leg side on the back foot working, well timed past deep mid wicket for 4 runs.
