- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.4 The faintest of nicks sees the back of Kamunhukamwe! Huge appeal for caught behind, but not given! Theekshana is certain though, and he immediately asks his skipper for a review This was a good length just outside off, Kamunhukamwe looks to cut it and yes Ultra Edge shows that this has just nicked the toe-end of the bat! 51/30.2 Ervine is gone first ball! And it's a beauty from Sadeera at point! This was a good length on middle and leg, but nipped away just enough as Ervine looked to whip it through midwicket. The leading edge flies to Sadeera who leaps to his right and grabs this with one hand! 1/12.6 And Bennett's onslaught comes to an end! First time he's tried to go hard on the onside and he falls short. This was a good length on middle and leg, and Bennett looks to lift this drive over mid-on, but only succeeds in finding the man in the ring 35/210.3 And now he strikes! This one skidded on with arm and Williams, who goes back is rushed on the stroke and only manages to chip this straight back to the bowler. DDS dives forward to his right and completes the play 73/68.2 Oh dear, Raza has offered up a gift! This was short on off, angled away and there was a man placed at third man. Raza decides to take him on with the uppercut, but only ends up finding Theekshana who barely had to move 64/49.4 Chipped straight to the man that was just put in place! Hasaranga is pumped and so he should be. The midwicket had just been put in place. This was a good length googly and Munyonga goes back to it, looking to play it off the pitch. He's late on the stroke and only ends up chipping it straight to the man just installed, who dives forward to complete a good catch 71/514.1 Three wickets in three balls and it's all wrapped up here! Madande looked to slog sweep this but only managed to top edge it straight up, as Shanaka came running in from the ropes and settled under it near mid-on. Zimbabwe have been bowled out for 82! 82/1011.6 Swept in the air and straight to deep backward square leg! It was a good length googly, and Jongwe just couldn't get this square enough. Madushanka has some work to do at deep backward square though, as he gets in position and then has to dive forward at the last to grab hold of this 76/713.5 Hasaranga has another! This was a tossed up googly on the stumps, Masakadza looks to sweep but this sneaks under the bat and he's struck on the front pad! The finger goes up but Zimbabwe review. This looked quite adjacent, unless there's some bat on it. Ultra Edge says no bat. And ball tracking shows three reds! 82/813.6 Oof and Ngarava goes first ball! It's the googly angled in from wide of the crease from around the wicket. It The ball just holds its line off a good length. Ngarava goes back to it and looks to defend, but he plays inside the line and the ball just clips the top of off 82/9Extras2 (lb 2)TOTAL82 all out (14.1 Overs, RR: 5.78)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Craig Ervine, 0.2 ov), 2-35 (Brian Bennett, 2.6 ov), 3-51 (Tinashe Kamunhukamwe, 5.4 ov), 4-64 (Sikandar Raza, 8.2 ov), 5-71 (Tony Munyonga, 9.4 ov), 6-73 (Sean Williams, 10.3 ov), 7-76 (Luke Jongwe, 11.6 ov), 8-82 (Wellington Masakadza, 13.5 ov), 9-82 (Richard Ngarava, 13.6 ov), 10-82 (Clive Madande, 14.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.4 Beauty from Williams! Grip, turn and the top of off is disturbed! That was tossed up on middle and off, and there was some dip which deceived Mendis as he was drawn forward and then beaten by the flight and turn. This spins past the outside edge and clatters off stump 64/1Extras1 (lb 1)TOTAL88/1 (10.5 Overs, RR: 8.12)Fall of wickets: 1-64 (Kusal Mendis, 7.4 ov)
