Raza to Chameera, out Lbw!! Raza and his Zimbabwe team are on a roll. Third wicket for the skipper and he's pumped. But what was the need from Chameera? He decides to play the sweep second ball
it is a very full delivery and he plays all over it, struck in front of middle and the umpire was convinced it was hitting the stumps. Not sure about that though because the ball did turn a bit and might have missed leg-stump. But there's no DRS and Chameera can't do anything about it.

Williams to Shanaka, out Caught by Tinotenda Maposa!! Another good catch. Zimbabwe have turned up on the field today. Shanaka started to walk but stops midway. There might be a check for a front foot no-ball. Did Williams have something behind the line? Yes
and Shanaka continues his walk back.. This is a massive wicket because Shanaka was the one who could play the big shots and taken Sri Lanka to the 140-150 mark but he's gone. Very full delivery, fired it outside off, Shanaka bends down and opens the bat face to slice it towards short third, Maposa moves to his left and hangs on to a sharp catch. The ball was flying but Maposa used his body to clutch on.
