27.6 to BKG Mendis, Umpire Gould's finger goes up. First wicket in the series for Tiripano. Waist-high catch for Moor, he has been tidy behind the stumps today. Good length, angled in from wide of the crease, from over the wicket. Straightens, takes the outside edge as Mendis presses forward and pushes away from the body. Feathers an edge behind to the wicketkeeper. More joy for Zimbabwe. 112/4
135.4 to HMRKB Herath, Herath walked off before umpire Gould's finger went up. Moor clings onto a waist-high catch. Back of a length and outside off, Herath cuts away from the body, and feeds a thin edge behind to the wicketkeeper. 471/8
135.6 to RAS Lakmal, Tiripano sends the off stump cartwheeling. He gets his third wicket. Full and angled in, shoots low too, Tiripano bursts through the gate. Lakmal bowled for a second-ball duck. 471/9

24.1 to JK Silva, that looks pretty close, Silva has been given out lbw by umpire Fry. Or was it heading down? The opener has a word with Mendis and goes for a review. DRS debuts in Zimbabwe. Some drama in Harare. The 15-second period has elapsed, and the review is shot down by Erasmus, the TV umpire who had been flown in to operate the DRS. Full and shapes in, Silva plays across his front pad, falls over, and is struck on the front pad in front of middle and leg, hit below the knee-roll. HawkEye shows that it was missing leg stump. Zimbabwe strike five minutes before lunch; it's the first lbw given against SL in this series. 84/3
1343422.61615000
14.4 to FDM Karunaratne, Hamilton provides the breakthrough. Williams completes a good catch to his right at gully. Back of a length and angling away outside off, Dimuth has this tendency to slash away from the body. The ball kicks up a bit and Williams snaps up the catch. 62/1
16.3 to MDKJ Perera, and Kusal has fallen into the trap. Holes out to long-on. Hamilton has his hands aloft in delight, he has struck twice in six balls. Mumba moves across to his left and pouches the catch. Good length and on off, Kusal swipes across the line and ends up skying a catch to long-on. Kusal inspects the toe end as he trudges back. Nice, chest-high take from Mumba. 66/2
40113633.4015714100
78.3 to WU Tharanga, Did the batsman nick that? Umpire Fry shakes his head. DRS makes a debut in Zimbabwe, finally. The hosts challenge Fry's not-out decision. Ricocheted off Moor's pads and ballooned to the left of slip, who snapped it up with both hands. Looped up and outside off, Tharanga is drawn into a drive, plays away from his body. There was a deflection, Fry overturns his decision, and Gremer provides the breakthrough. DRS works for Zimbabwe, Tharanga walks off for 79, the 143-run stand ends. 255/5
104.6 to DM de Silva, Cremer hangs onto a return catch. He dives to his right from his followthrough and plucks out a low, one-handed catch. Tossed-up legbreak, Cremer held it back. de Silva dares to go against the turn. He is early into the shot and ends up chipping it back to the bowler off a leading edge. The drink should taste sweeter for Zimbabwe. De Silva falls two short of his best Test score. 342/6
116.4 to MDK Perera, Dilruwan has been given out lbw by umpire Fry. Looks plumb. Pushed through quicker, straight delivery, no turn. Dilruwan hangs back, he is too late to bring his bat down, and is pinned on the back pad in front of off and middle. It would have crashed into the off stump. Oh replays show his bat got struck in the flap of his right pad. 396/7
8.413113.57351100
144.4 to DAS Gunaratne, Williams dismisses Asela. Moor effects a stumping. SL bowled out for 504, 25 minutes before tea. Williams hangs it in the air, off-stump line, Asela charges out, plays across the line, but is beaten in flight, and is nowhere close to the pitch. The ball turns past the outside edge, and the wicketkeeper does the rest.. 504/10

42.3 to CR Ervine, And Lakmal has Ervine nicking behind. Good catch by Dimuth to his right at first slip. Good length and swings away, leaving Ervine outside off. He is neither forward nor back. Pushes feebly and edges it behind. SL have an early reward for relentlessly posing questions on third morning. 134/3
82.1 to DT Tiripano, Zimbabwe wrapped up for 272, SL secure a first-innings lead of 232. Tiripano races down the track, Lakmal drags his length back on middle. Tiripano hacks at it and Herath somehow clings onto a low catch to his left at mid-on. 272/10
2648953.4211110200
5.2 to TMK Mawoyo, Herath strikes in his third over with the new ball. Arm ball from Herath, no turn, on off. Mawoyo plays for some turn, there is none, and is pinned on the front pad. The finger goes up, as does SL's hopes. Impact was just outside off, pointing to umpire's call. 17/1
5.4 to H Masakadza, Herath strikes again. Two wickets in three balls for him. Hamilton has nicked to de Silva at slip. Umpire Gould now refers to the TV umpire. The soft signal is out. Herath's front foot is all good. Slip bends forward and claims a low catch. Hamilton has to go. Tossed up, drifts in, and turns away slightly. Hamilton pushes forward and edges it to slip. The ball bobbled out of de Silva's hands on the first attempt, but he hung onto it on the rebound. 17/2
54.4 to BB Chari, bowled'em. Chari has to wait for his maiden Test ton. Arm ball from Herath, snakes in after pitching outside off, from around the wicket. Chari presses forward, plays down the wrong line. Herath bursts through the gate, and hits the off stump. 173/4
63.2 to MN Waller, Herath strikes, and that is lunch on the third day. Tossed up liberally again, on off, might have stopped a bit of Waller. He checks his drive and spoons a low catch to extra cover. Silva dives forward and to his right, plucking a low catch. Sri Lanka will relish their lunch. Herath is one away from completing a record set of five-fors against all nine other Test nations. The wild celebrations nearly took down Herath. 210/5
81.5 to CT Mumba, Umpire Gould's finger goes up. It looks plumb. Herath has done it. Drumrolls, please. He celebrates, he has completed the record set. Herath becomes only the third bowler after Murali and Steyn to take a five-for against all nine other Test nations. Only Mumba knows why he reviewed it. Arm ball from Herath, darts in and strikes the front pad in front of middle. Mumba simply played down the wrong line. It was crashing into middle of middle stump. 272/9
1406004.28518000
1825132.83775000
75.1 to SC Williams, loud shout for lbw, umpire Gould shoots it down. Sri Lanka review, they have one left. Pushed through on off stump, non-turning delivery, drifts in a touch, Williams stretches forward for a sweep. He can't make contact. Struck on the front pad, just above the boot. I don't think there was an inside edge. That looks very close. Impact in line, hitting the middle stump. Gould overturns his call, Williams exits. Zimbabwe six down. 253/6
77.4 to AG Cremer, Another booming drive, Cremer nicks to second slip this time. Tossed up, straight one outside off, Cremer is lured into another booming cover drive. He throws his hands at it and sends an outside edge flying to second slip. Dimuth grabs it in front of his mouth. It just got stuck in his hands. Dimuth then falls on his a backside. Two wickets in two overs for Dilruwan. 265/7
79.1 to PJ Moor, PJ Moor has been given out lbw by umpire Gould. Pinned plumb in front. Three wickets in 13 balls for Dilruwan. Attempted short ball, skids onto the batsman, and keeps low. Moor pulls and is beaten by the lack of bounce as well as pace. Dilruwan hits the back leg in front of middle. It was taking middle of middle stump. 268/8

72.3 to FDM Karunaratne, 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. Reward for Mpofu. 198/6

7.3 to JK Silva, Mumba strikes with the third ball after tea. Waist-high catch for short midwicket. Full on middle and leg, Silva attempts a flick. Does not bother to keep it down. Hits it in the air to Waller. Soft, soft dismissal. 14/1
11.4 to BKG Mendis, Having been promoted to No.3, Mendis falls for a 10-ball duck. Holes out to mid-on. Simple chest-high catch for Mpofu. Banged in short and outside off, rushes Mendis into a pull. He presses forward, but does not have time to move back. He skies a top edge to mid-on. Two wickets in five overs after tea. 16/2
33.3 to DM de Silva, Oh dear, de Silva has chipped a low full-toss to extra cover. De Silva bends forward, takes it from outside off, looks to drive. But fails to keep it down. Chari at extra cover dives low to his left and snags the catch. 84/4
21.429144.20809100
17.5 to WU Tharanga, sharp legbreak from Cremer, Tharanga has been given out by umpire Gould. Tharanga has a word with Dimuth and reviews. Pitches outside off, spins back in, to strike the front pad in front of middle. Tharanga played all around the break. No bat involved. But was it spinning down the leg side? It is hitting a good chunk of the leg stump, according to HawkEye, and Tharanga has to depart. The Castle corner is buzzing in Harare. 44/3
73.6 to MDK Perera, Dilruwan looks to sweep, ends up gloving a catch to slip. Umpire Gould's finger goes up almost instantly. MDK Perera chats with MDKJ Perera, but SL don't have any reviews. Oooh, replays show it hit the arm, and not the glove. Cremer slows it up from around the wicket, finds extra bounce as well. Dilruwan sweeps from outside leg, the ball jumps off the rough, takes the back of the glove and loops into Hamilton's hands. 201/7
75.3 to HMRKB Herath, bowled'em.Three wickets in four overs for Zim. Herath has missed a sweep against a very full delivery. Straighter one on off, Herath goes for an expansive shot, and the leg stump is knocked out. Herath may have got an inside edge on it. SL bat on. 211/8
81.4 to MDKJ Perera, Kusal holes out to long-on. Herath calls them in. SL declare, setting Zimbabwe a target of 491. Kusal hares out of the crease again, meets another full-toss, this is swung straight down the throat of Williams.. 258/9
1141411.27561000
60.5 to DAS Gunaratne, Donald T trumps Asela. The batsman has been given out leg-before by umpire Fry. Full and slanting in on the stumps, Asela eyes the leg side, plays across his front pad, and falls over. Trapped in front of middle. Looks very adjacent. He has a word with Dimuth and decides against a review. HawkEye shows it was hitting the middle of leg stump. 153/5

7.2 to BB Chari, bowled'em. The middle stump is floored. Chari is bowled through the gate by Herath for the second time in the match. Arm ball skids into the right-hander. Chari is late to bring his bat down and is castled. Also, Chari's bat came down at an angle. He was simply playing around the pad. 16/1
9.6 to H Masakadza, Hamilton is pinned on the front pad, he has been given out by umpire Fry. Hamilton reviews. Arm ball from Herath, slides in, thuds into the pad, as he plays down the wrong line. No bat involved. HawkEye shows it was grazing leg stump. Enough for Fry's call to be upheld. Hamilton has to go. Two wickets in two overs for Herath. 32/2
13.6 to TMK Mawoyo, Did that carry to slip? Mawoyo out edging behind? The on-field umpires Fry and Gould converge and refer it to Erasmus, the TV umpire. The soft signal is out. Full, drifts in, and then turns away. Mawoyo wafts and nicks it low to slip. Dhananjaya dives forward and plucks it inches from the ground. Excellent catch from slip. 39/3
39.6 to PJ Moor, Moor pops a catch to silly point. Herath becomes the first bowler to take 50 Test wickets in 2016. Tossed up, drifts in, turns away slightly, Moor goes back, instead of pressing forward, as he prods it to Mendis. SL four away from 2-0. 166/6
43.2 to AG Cremer, Another five-for for Herath. He gets his tenth wicket of the match. He gets his opposite number. SL three away from 2-0. This is a crackin' ball. Herath hangs it up in the air, drifts into the right-hander. Then turns away enough to beat the outside edge and strike middle stump. 176/7
51.1 to CR Ervine, and taken! Ervine goes. What a stunning catch from de Silva. Flat delivery outside off, Ervine gets low to reverse sweep. But gets a bit of an edge, which flies to the right of de Silva at slip. He was moving the other way, but stops and dives to his right off balance. Keeps his eyes on the ball and takes it with both hands. Off the glove actually or just arm? Ervine has reviewed the decision. Not enough evidence to overturn the decision. Definitely hit the arm, but was there some glove too. Inconclusive replays mean umpire Fry's on-field call stands.. 195/8
53.1 to CT Mumba, Herath has one more. He has seven now. What a performer. This is the flat delivery that skids on with the angle. Very accurate - on off. The length is full, but not smother-able or short enough for the batsman to go back to. He comes forward, gets his bat in front but the ball hits the pad and deflects away. The ball's path to the pad is clear, skids on and hits Mumba in front of off. Plumb.. 201/9
57.6 to CB Mpofu, that will be the game! Mpofu doesn't review and SL have completed a 2-0 series win. Herath finishes with eight. Absolutely plumb again. Flat delivery on off and middle, the ball goes through Mpofu's defense, skids on and strikes him in front of middle. Easy decision for the umpire. What a performance from Herath.. 233/10

28.6 to SC Williams, Kumara provides Sri Lanka with the breakthrough. Williams has nicked to slip. Good length outside off, nips away, and kicks up slightly. Williams jabs away from the body and outside-edges it. Smart take from Mendis, diving low to his left at slip. 113/4
301013.33131000
29.4 to MN Waller, big shout for caught behind, not given by umpire Fry. The SL players are looking confident. They review. De Silva's front foot is fine. Sliding across off from around the wicket, no turn, Waller is neither forward nor back. Simply pokes from the crease and feathers it behind. The ball deviates as it passes the groping bat. Fry overturns his decision, and Zimbabwe are five down. De Silva strikes in his second over. 114/5
