Dushmantha Chameera to Regis Chakabva, OUT! CAUGHT! Dushmantha Chameera strikes and draws the first blood. An ideal start for the hosts, they have got the early wicket they were looking for. Chameera dishes a length ball, outside off. Regis Chakabva hangs his blade away from his body and gets an outside edge. The ball goes towards the man at first slip. It is dying as it flies back. Charith Asalanka dives forward and takes a sharp catch.

Dushmantha Chameera to Craig Ervine, OUT! CAUGHT! Back-to-back wickets for Sri Lanka. The crowd is up in celebration. Dushmantha Chameera sends the back the opposition skipper on a golden duck and finds himself on a Hat-Trick. A length ball, angled across the left-hander, in the corridor of uncertainty. Craig Ervine looks to defend it out but only manages to get a thick outside edge. Kusal Mendis dives to his left to take a really good catch. Zimbabwe in a spot of bother straightaway.

Maheesh Theekshana to Sean Williams, OUT! TIMBER! What a delivery! It went through the gate! Theekshana bowls it from wide of the crease, an arm ball, full and coming with the angle around off. Williams gets on the front foot and looks to defend it away from the body but the ball spins back in and goes through the gate to rattles the stumps. Perfect start for Sri Lanaka. Suddenly the target looks quite big for Zimbabwe.

Jeffrey Vandersay to Takudzwanashe Kaitano, OUT! STUMPED! Brilliant effort the Kusal Mendis behind the stumps. Jeffrey Vandersay strikes on his second delivery. This is brilliant, the hosts are dominating with the ball. Floated, full and around off. Kaitano is drawn forward as he looks to defend it out but gets beaten on the outside edge. Kusal Mendis gathers the ball and takes the bails off. He looks very excited, he thinks he has got his man here. The TV umpire is consulted. After several replays the third umpire confirms Takudzwanashe Kaitano had his back leg in the air while the bails were knocked off and the final decision is OUT.

Chamika Karunaratne to Sikandar Raza, OUT! CAUGHT! Sikandar Raza gets out cheaply this time. Chamika Karunaratne strikes on his very first delivery here. A short ball, outside off.

Ramesh Mendis to Milton Shumba, OUT! TAKEN! Another one bites the dust! Nothing is going their way and the result looks clear unless there is some magic. Shumba was connecting really well and does so this time. This is full and on middle. Shumba gets on his knee and slog-sweeps it, he connects it well but doesn't get the required elevation. Holes out to the fielder at deep square leg where Jeffrey Vandersay takes it low and nice.

Ramesh Mendis to Wellington Masakadza, OUT! BOWLED! Ramesh Mendis gets his second! Bowls from around the wicket and serves it full and angling on middle. Wellington Masakadza looks to heave it away but the ball sneaks under his bat and disturbs the stumps behind. Sri Lanka 3 wickets away from clinching the series.

Jeffrey Vandersay to Blessing Muzarabani, OUT! lBW! This time Blessing Muzarabani is a goner! A flatter ball, it lands on middle and turns a bit! Blessing Muzarabani stands back and looks to flick but misses and gets hit on the pads. A huge appeal and up goes the finger. It was a tight call and Blessing Muzarabani takes the review straightaway. No bat there. Ball tracker shows it goes onto clipping the leg stump and Zimbabwe lose the review.

Ramesh Mendis to Tendai Chatara, FOUR! This is a proper batter shot! Flatter and on off. Chatara stands tall and goes inside out over covers for a boundary.

24.2
Jeffrey Vandersay to Ryan Burl, OUT! LBW! This should be the final nail in the coffin, as Burl has been sent back after a really good defensive play in the middle. Tossed up, full and on off. Burl looks to defend it out but misses and gets pinged on the pads. This is plumb, Jeffrey Vandersay appeals and the umpire raises his finger in a flash. Burl knows he has to walk back but still opts for the review and hopes for a miracle to save him. The Ball Tracker shows three reds and he is a goner.
