19.4 to T Musekiwa, top-edges and attempted scoop and the ball floats up to Kusal Mendis who pouches it with the gloves. This was a length ball, very wide of off. Musekiwa shuffled across and tried to send it over short fine, but did not make the connection he wanted. 173/6 | ||||||||||
| 4 | 0 | 38 | 1 | 9.50 | 8 | 4 | 0 | 2 | 0 | |
5.5 to SC Williams, that looked plumb and it's given! Williams is attempting the sweep again, butt Theekshana beats the shot with a flatter delivery that turns in to the leftie. That might juuust have pitched inside the leg stump. It was definitely going on to hit middle and leg. 59/2 | ||||||||||
| 4 | 0 | 30 | 3 | 7.50 | 10 | 4 | 0 | 3 | 0 | |
2.2 to T Marumani, straight to the deep square leg - i think he'd just been pushed back to the rope. This was shortish again, and at the stumps. Marumani plays the pull again, but can't get under the ball. Sends it at a nice, catchable height to Nuwanidu Fernando who runs forward a few metres to pouch it. 22/1 18.3 to RP Burl, hits the base of middle stump as Burl misses a scoop over the shoulder. It wasn't quite a yorker - it was a low full toss. And Burl did make a tiny bit of contact with his bat. But it's not enough of a connection to divert the ball away from the stumps.. 160/4 18.6 to BJ Bennett, Bennett moved to the offside early, anticipating another wide yorker. But Chameera saw it and sent a searing yorker at the stumps. Bennett was in no position to play a ball on the stumps line, and though he attempted a scoop, he didn't get close to the ball. It cannons into middle stump. 162/5 | ||||||||||
| 4 | 0 | 28 | 1 | 7.00 | 7 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | |
12.4 to Sikandar Raza, holes out at deep midwicket. These are big boundaries at Harare Sports Club, and Raza doesn't quite have enough on this pull shot to clear the deep fielder, who backpedals to get to it and keeps his feet well inside the rope. Hemantha spun that one hard, which meant that although this ball was short, Raza couldn't quite get it out of the middle when he tried to drag it against the turn. 109/3 | ||||||||||

12.1 to MDKJ Perera, Straight up and judged perfectly from Brian Bennet! This was full on middle, and it straightens just enough to get Perera's leading edge on the pick up shot. This though goes straight up and hangs high in the sky. It's up there for ages as Bennett rushes in from the deep backward square leg boundary, looking into the sun, but manages to judge this to perfection and hold on with both hands. 102/2 12.3 to BKG Mendis, Ngarava is flipping this game on its head! This was a bouncer, dug in hard and angling away from off. Kusal can't help but go after this, but he's only managed to ramp it down to the man at deep third, who judges it very well and takes it reverse cup over his right shoulder. Two Kusals dismissed in the over!. 103/3 | ||||||||||

15.3 to MNK Fernando, Another one goes! Short of a length, slower ball again, and Nuwanidu has gifted his wicket away. Looks to go over mid-off in the ring, but completely miscues it, straight to the man at extra cover and Sri Lanka have lost half their lineup!. 125/5 | ||||||||||
| 4 | 0 | 47 | 1 | 11.75 | 9 | 3 | 3 | 1 | 2 | |
10.1 to P Nissanka, And just like that they get their first! Short one, and Nissanka has top edged the pull. Had one earlier that flew for six, but this one goes straight up in the air as the keeper circles under it and completes the catch. 96/1 | ||||||||||

16.6 to MD Shanaka, Unbelievable! I don't think I've ever seen something like this! Outrageous tag team catch! Shanaka looks to take on the deep midwicket boundary, but he doesn't time it. There are two fielders converging from deep square leg and deep midwicket. The latter has spilled it but the former reacts so, so fast to hold on to it on the rebound. Sri Lanka are six down!. 142/6 | ||||||||||

13.1 to KIC Asalanka, Raza gets his fellow skipper! This one skids through just outside off, as Asalanka looks to running it down fine but only ends up getting a faint edge. Very well held by Marumani as well, and the crowd are suddenly alive!. 106/4 | ||||||||||
