Zimbabwe are battling to save the opening Test against Sri Lanka at Harare.
They are trailing by 127 runs and will resume their second innings on 30-0 on the fifth and final day on Thursday.
Sri Lanka declared their first innings on 515-9 on Wednesday, thanks to former skipper Angelo Mathews’ career-best 200 not out.
Zimbabwe will need to bat for most of the final day to earn a draw in their first Test since November 2018.
The two-match series was arranged after Zimbabwe were briefly suspended by the International Cricket Council last year because of government interference in the sport, but they were reinstated in October.
