Do join us after a short break for Zimbabwe's reply. The visitors have been close to 300 in both their batting efforts so far - how will they fare while chasing?

6:15 pm Zimbabwe ought to be pretty happy with that bowling effort.

Sri Lanka though, ought to be pretty disappointed, especially after Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis gave them a good platform with an 80-run opening stand. Zimbabwe kept getting wickets at regular wickets, with only Charith Asalanka managing to put together a decent innings, scoring 52. The hosts were unable to accelerate in the final overs, and could only manage a score of 254.

Simba: "Big big opportunity for another historic series win for Zim if they do not choke. The batting has been splendid so far they just have keep that up for the next 50 overs "
