8.4 to WU Tharanga, gone! that was short of a good length on the off and moving away, Tharanga tries to defend it off the back foot, gets the thinnest of edges to Taibu who takes a comfortable catch. 41/2
10.3 to DPMD Jayawardene, gone! poor shot! that was short and wide, held its line, Jayawardene reached for it, tried to slash it wide of point, got a thick outside edge and Taibu moved well to his right to take a good catch. Zimbabwe are doing well here!. 51/3
25.6 to KC Sangakkara, full on the off stump, Sangakkara comes down and tries to loft that one over mid on, fails to connect well, gets the leading edge and Mupariwa at mid on runs backwards and dives to his left to take a superb catch. 149/5
603946.50154030
3.4 to ML Udawatte, gone! bowled on a good length on middle and off, Udawatte gets forward and tries to defend it back to the bowler, is struck a little high on the pads, definitely in line, and the umpire raises his finger. Zimbabwe strike early. 13/1
19 to CK Kapugedera, stumped, off a wide ball, bowled full outside leg stump, Taibu collects it well and removes the bails in no time to find Kapugedara outside the crease as he attempts to flick the ball towards square leg. Good job! That appeared as though it was planned. 94/4
27.4 to J Mubarak, gone!! that was bowled full on middle, tries to drive it on the on-side, gets a leading edge to Raymond Price at backward point who takes a comfortable catch. 167/6
27.6 to MF Maharoof, gone! that was bowled full on middle and off, Maharoof drives that uppishly and straight to extra cover where Utseya completes an easy catch. Mupariwa finishes with four wickets!. 171/7

12.5 to V Sibanda, gone!! that was short outside off, Sibanda fishes for it and tries to play at it with hard hands, hardly any footwork, gets a thick outside edge to Sangakkara who makes no mistake. Sri Lanka strike, finally! What a spirited innings by Sibanda!. 76/1
22.6 to H Masakadza, gone!! goes for another big one, gets a thick outside edge that flies away towards third man where Kulasekara takes a well judged catch. Sri Lanka have struck, but is it too late? Masakadza departs for a potentially decisive 77. 134/2

27.1 to S Matsikenyeri, gone!! he was struck in line with middle stump, no doubts there, the umpire raises his finger and there is dead silence around the ground. 162/6
27.6 to T Mupariwa, gone!! so near, yet so far! charges down the track but misses a straight ball, Sangakkara fumbles it the first time but recovers well to take down the stumps. It's referred to the third umpire and the batsman is short of his ground. Sri Lanka have won a thriller, by just five runs!. 166/7
