Zimbabwe vs Sri Lanka, 2nd Test - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Kumara to Nyauchi, 1 run, short and wide outside off, Nyauchi plays a powerful square cut and Dhananjaya puts down a difficult chance at point. He flew towards his left to grab the ball and was airborne when the ball hits his palms. Fails to latch onto the catch however. Nice attempt nevertheless

Kumara to Nyauchi, no run, Nyauchi has been hit on the helmet and straightaway Aleem Dar signals the Zimbabwe physio to rush out to the middle. He can be difficult to pick - Kumara.

He looks fine though, good enough to carry on. No harm done!
