Great to see that Zimbabwe and SL are playing a Test. A five dayer too. And in Zimbabwe.

Three on debut for Zimbabwe. Ndlovu, Nyauchi and Kasuza.

Looks a strong SL side.

First Test in Zimbabwe since late 2018.

Sri Lanka batting all day thanks to Angelo Matthews - who is verging on his 10th test hundred at 92* overnight - means that a Zim win is an impossibility with a draw being the favourite option unless SL can put on a huge total.

Hundred up for Angelo. Goes one ahead of Karunaratne in the SL century list, one behind Chandimal among current players.

So Zimbawe's strong batting on the first two days is destined to go un rewarded.

Will they succumb to pressure on the last day and lose now ? Kind of hope not ...

Three wickets in five overs, so doesn't look good for Zimbabwe.

Lasith Embuldeniya is turning into quite a tidy little bowler - ended with Fourfer today as Zim were all out for 406.

SL are 122-2 in their reply.

Quite some difference in the pace of scoring. Zimbabwe 406 off 115. SL 122 off 54.
