The light starting to fade and the umpires has taken the light
meter.
Finally decides to call it off for th eday due to bad light.
So at Stumps Zimbabweans are 14/1, Gripper at 4 and Carlisle the
captain at 6.
The bastman out for now is H Masakadza at 3 caught by Tillakaratne
and bowled by Zoysa with a nasty delivary.
So thast it from the SSC ground and please do join us at 10:00 am
local time (0400GMT) as the play will start early due to the loss
of 8 overs today.
Thank you.
