Dilshan Madushanka to Takudzwanashe Kaitano
Leg bye! Zimbabwe are underway with an extra! Bowls it full and angling in at the pads, Takudzwanashe Kaitano gets beaten for pace and misses out to clip it away. The ball rolls off his front pad and rolls to fine leg for a leg bye. Sri Lanka do not think of a review and rightly so, as the ball was sliding down leg. A probing first over from Dilshan Madushanka!

Dushmantha Chameera to Takudzwanashe Kaitano
Jaffa! Serves it on a hard length, outside off, Takudzwanashe Kaitano looks to play the line of the ball but it holds its line and rises to zip past the outside edge.

Dilshan Madushanka to Tinashe Kamunhukamwe
OUT! DRAGGED ON! Dilshan Madushanka draws first blood for Sri Lanka! Tinashe Kamunhukamwe departs for a golden duck! Continues from over the wicket and bowls it on the fifth stump line, on a good length, shaping in, Tinashe Kamunhukamwe goes for the cut but the width is not there and it is too close for him to play at that shot. The inward movement makes it even more difficult for him and he ends up dragging the ball back onto the stumps off the inside edge.

Dilshan Madushanka to Craig Ervine
FOUR LEG BYES! A bit too straight by Dilshan Madushanka, on a back of a length, Craig Ervine looks to help it away with the angle but misses as the ball rolls off his pads and flies to the right of the diving Kusal Mendis for a boundary.

Dilshan Madushanka to Craig Ervine
OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Dilshan Madushanka with the double whammy! A massive blow early in the run chase for Zimbabwe as their skipper walks back without troubling the scorers! Delivers it on a length and outside the off-stump, gets the ball to swing away from the left-hander, Craig Ervine gets lured into the drive but does not move his feet to execute the shot. Plays away from his body and gets an outside edge that goes straight into the bread basket of Sahan Arachchige at first slip who makes no mistake.

Dushmantha Chameera to Milton Shumba
Sloppy! Hurls it on a good length, on middle and leg, Milton Shumba gets half-forward and tucks it to the right of mid-wicket for a quick single. The fielder misses the shy at the non-striker's end and the throw is not backed up well at extra cover, allowing an extra run.
