2.47pm That's tea as well on day three. So a lead of 113 for Zimbabwe, set up by Sikandar Raza who finished with 7 for 113, the second-best bowling figures for his team. But the last two Sri Lanka wickets added 49 to eat into Zimbabwe's lead. Will that prove crucial, we will find out in about 20 minutes.

Nyauchi to MVT Fernando, OUT, a great catch by Chakabva to end the innings. Was a length ball from wide of the crease once again. Fernando pushes at it without much feet movement. A thick outside edge, Chakabva was starting to move towards the leg side but flings himself to his right and takes it once handed
