3.15pm So Sri Lanka have bowled out Zimbabwe. That was crucial: not letting them bat 50 overs. A couple of lapses in the field cost Sri Lanka more than a few extra runs but they've given themselves a chance. But given how bowler-friendly this surface has been, got to wonder if Zimbabwe have had enough. Still very chaseable, though. Four for Thisara and three for Pradeep. Sandakan was good for large patches as well and gets two. Lakmal unfortunately finishes wicketless but he really deserved one. Didn't have the support of the fielders. 199 is what Sri Lanka need to stay alive in this series. Join us shortly for the chase.

Pradeep to Muzarabani, OUT, and now the middle stump has been pegged back. Cross-seamer again. On a length and coming on straight. No feet movement, big gap between bat and pad, and it's all enough for the ball to sneak through

Hafiz: "Hi AG: Could you please give us any link for you special 'Hakka Chowmein' recipe ? Just interested about that food as the way you explained you enjoyed it :)" Mate, no idea about the recipe. This was not homemade :)

W
Pradeep to Cremer, OUT, leg-stump uprooted. Cremer's gone.The last recognised batsman. A back of a length delivery, and some seam movement and probably some reverse swing as it cuts in sharply to get past the inside edge

Robbie Sandrasa: "Welcome back Akshay. Deiva informed us that you left to destroy "Hakka Chowmein". Who / what is that? Anyway, I hope it gave you much pleasure.." Some soft delightful noodles with juicy, succulent chicken. And, yes, thoroughly enjoyed it!

Pradeep to Jarvis, OUT, in-drifter that flattens off-stump. Scrambled-seam fullish delivery well outside off. Jarvis is pushing forward without any movement of the feet. Has to bend forward substantially and the ball cuts back in to hit the stumps. No position to play that

KM Jarvis b Pradeep 5 (9b 0x4 0x6) SR: 55.55

Pradeep to Jarvis, no run, slower ball, stays very low and Jarvis is rooted to the backfoot. Tries to flick but the ball curves in and again missing leg

Pradeep to Cremer, 1 leg bye, extremely full but the ball drifts into the pads. Not much the batsman could do as the ball strikes the pads but needed to get it straighter. Movement too sharp into legstump

Nuwan Pradeep come back
