10.1
W
Tinotenda Maposa to Nissanka, out Caught by Marumani!! Maposa breaks the partnership. It is Nissanka who departs. Finally the short ball works for Zimbabwe. They have bowled plenty of it this innings without much luck. This was a well-directed one and Nissanka takes it on, gets hurried on the pull and the top-edge goes straight up, Marumani moves to his left and completes his simple catch. Nissanka c Marumani b Tinotenda Maposa 55(32) [4s-4 6s-2]

9.3
F
Raza to Nissanka, 2 runs, fifty for Nissanka. This has been a fine knock. There was a couple of streaky boundaries early on but he has found the middle of the bat more often. This partnership has set Sri Lanka on course to the target. Darted full on leg, Nissanka digs it out into the leg-side and races back for the second. There's no one inside the ring in front of square on the leg-side
9.2

Brad Evans to Nissanka, FOUR, that's a poor delivery. Length delivery, but the angle was getting the ball into Nissanka and he helps it along, swings it backward of square and almost sends it the distance, one bounce and over the ropes
4.3
Brad Evans to Nissanka, 2 runs, excellent stop by Williams. Back of the hand slower ball, Nissanka drags it from outside off and places it in front of square. Williams gets across from deep square and dives to make the stop, saved a couple
4.1
Brad Evans to Nissanka, leg byes, 1 run, loud shout for LBW. The umpire was not interested. Good length ball at the stumps, Nissanka misses the flick and is rapped on the pads. Was height an issue? Because the impact was in-line with the stumps
3.6
Tinotenda Maposa to Nissanka, 1 run, back of a length angled in, Nissanka tucks it to mid-wicket and crosses over
3.5
6
Tinotenda Maposa to Nissanka, SIX, streaky! But Nissanka and Sri Lanka won't be complaining. Short ball around middle and leg, keeps climbing and Nissanka takes it on, goes for the help-along hook and gets a top-edge, the ball flies fine and all the way..
3.1
Tinotenda Maposa to Nissanka, no ball, 1 run, that's not a good start. Maposa hits the stumps at the non-striker's end while delivering the ball. Umpire immediately signals a no-ball. Nissanka checks his block towards cover-point and crosses over. Free-hit for Mendis..
2.4
Ngarava to Nissanka, 1 run, oh no! Nissanka is denied a boundary by the stumps at the other end. Floaty slower ball, Nissanka waits and drills it straight down the pitch, the ball hits the stumps and ricochets towards mid-wicket
2.3
6
Ngarava to Nissanka, SIX, shot! Nissanka got hold of that alright. Back of a length delivery and Nissanka was waiting for that length, maintains a solid base and nails the pull in front of square, just clearing the deep mid-wicket fence
2.2
Ngarava to Nissanka, 2 runs, short of length at the body, Nissanka is cramped for room and mistimes the pull in front of square, another misfield and the batters scamper back for the second. Zimbabwe need to be tighter..
1.6
Muzarabani to Nissanka, 2 runs, good length ball around off, Nissanka lofts through the line sans timing and the ball clears the infield, couple more
1.5
4
Muzarabani to Nissanka, FOUR, fourth boundary in the over. Once again Muzarabani drops it short and offers room outside off, Nissanka goes hard and does not bother to keep the cut down, places it wide of backward point and the ball races away..
1.4
4
Muzarabani to Nissanka, FOUR, was that a drop? Marumani leaps to his right but he was nowhere close to the ball. This one rears up from back of a length, Nissanka fends it off the shoulder of the bat and the ball flies over the vacant first slip region. Muzarabani was unlucky there..
1.3
4
Muzarabani to Nissanka, FOUR, shouts of "catch it" but no one moved. Short and wide again, Nissanka cuts it uppishly but right between two fielders - backward point and cover-point, the duo could only watch the ball fly past them
0.6
Ngarava to Nissanka, no run, ufff! That's taken off. Short of length delivery and Nissanka hangs back, attempts the pull but the extra bounce deceives him, the ball beats the top-edge and Marumani collects it over his head
0.2
Ngarava to Nissanka, leg byes, 1 run, bit of inward movement, Nissanka is caught in the crease and is beaten on the inside edge, struck high on the pad and the ball rolls in front of point, Mendis calls him across for a leg-bye
0.1
Ngarava to Nissanka, no run, zips past the outside edge. Nissanka is unsure about his footwork, stays rooted to the crease and has a tentative poke, the ball angles away and misses the edge by a whisker. Nice carry to Marumani
