Sri Lanka managed to chase down 297 with ease last time out. Can they repeat the feat once more to win the series? Do return soon, as Madushka takes you through the start of Sri Lanka's reply

Another excellent batting effort from the Zimbabweans.

Regis Chakabva and Takudzwanashe Kaitano started with another fifty partnership to open the innings, although Jeffrey Vandersay did well to remove both openers with the score at 90. A superb 106-run third wicket stand between Sean Williams and Craig Ervine followed, before an excellent stumping from Kusal Mendis ended Williams' time at the crease for a well-paced 48. Craig Ervine carried on, putting up another fifty partnership with Sikandar Raza, eventually falling for 91. Raza ensured Zimbabwe crossed the 300 mark in the final overs.

49.6

Pradeep to Sikandar Raza, OUT, Short, at the stumps and he's only able to heave the ball into the air with mid-off backing away to take the catch.
