4.00pm And Sri Lanka have declared, on 515 for 9. Mathews unbeaten on 200, Sri Lanka have a lead of 157. Raza picked up two quick wickets which hastened the declaration but I think that has worked in Sri Lanka's favour. More than 100 overs left in this Test. Can Zimbabwe eke out a draw here? We will be back shortly as they start their second innings.
