Zimbabwe started the play from 126 with two down yesterday and all out at 272 in 82.1 overs then Sri Lanka started their first innings and four down at 102 in 40 overs.

FDM Karunaratne opener of the Sri Lankan team scored 88 runs off 208 balls with smashing eight boundaries, when his wicket down then it was 72.3 128.2 kph, Mpofu belts out an appeal for lbw, umpire Fry raises his finger. Dimuth, though, calls for a review. Looks plumb to me.

Good length on middle, skids on after pitching, Dimuth plays around his pad. The ball beats the inside edge and strikes the back pad. Impact in line. Hitting middle of middle stump. Umpire Fry’s call is upheld. No ton for Dimuth. The reward for Mpofu 198/6.

Toss: Zimbabwe and chose bowl.

DAS Gunaratne’s wicket down with scoring 39 runs by facing 92 deliveries, MDKJ Perera good batsmen and also the keeper of the SL team played well with scoring 62 runs off 69 balls. he completed his innings with eight 4s and a maximum. HMRKB Herath took five wickets from Zimbabwe’s first innings and MDK Perera took three. AG Cremer took four wickets from SL second innings and three from first innings it means he took a total of seven wickets in the second test.

SC Williams scored 45 runs off 47 balls he was going very fast and then CBRLS Kumara bowled him, he strikes and catches out by Mendis. CT Mumba dismissed three SL batsmen from their second innings.
