Live cricket score, Sri Lanka vs Zimbabwe, One off Test, Day 5: Sri Lanka go into Lunch at 270/5 needing 118 runs against Zimbabwe

The equation heading into the fifth day is fair and simple: Sri Lanka need 218 runs to win and Zimbabwe need 7 wickets to pick up their first ever Test win against the hosts and how big a coup would it be to get it in Sri Lanka – the place where the hosts trampled Australia 3-0 just a year back. Things are far different now and their early exit in the ICC Champions Trophy and defeat in the ODI series reflected that. The onus lies firmly on Sri Lanka’s middle order to get them over the line in what would be the biggest chase on the island.
