HARARE: Dilruwan Perera, Suranga Lakmal and Lahiru Kumara grabbed two wickets apiece but a stubborn partnership gave Zimbabwe a chance of preventing a Sri Lankan victory in the first Test in Harare on Wednesday.
After declaring on their overnight total of 247 for six to set Zimbabwe 412 for victory on the final day, Sri Lanka were well on their way to a win when Peter Moor was adjudged lbw to Kumara nine overs after lunch.
But Sean Williams and Graeme Cremer dug in to bat out the remainder of the session, seeing Zimbabwe to tea on 136 for six.
With clouds gathering Zimbabwe´s hopes of securing a draw in their 100th Test grew.
