SRI LANKA INNINGS

4th over - SL 33-1 Jayawardene makes room and whip-cracks the ball through point, but that's an athletic spot of fielding to limit him to one run. The left-handed Thissara Perera is up the order, not sure why, presumably to do some thrashing. Not much hammer in that over though, just four runs from it.

3rd over - SL 29-1 Fine over from Chigumbura so far, four dot balls, but that's a sweet shot from Jayawardene, just tweaking a rising ball over wicket-keeper Tatenda Taibu for four.

3rd over - WICKET Dilshan c Mpofu b Chigumbura 1, SL 24-1 That's the end of Dilshan, going for some long handle against Chigumbura, not quite middling it and holing out to Mpofu running in from long-off.

2nd over - SL 24-0 Ray Price, for whom the word "wily" might have been coined, to bowl the second over. His first ball is a leg-side wide and his second is clipped to long-on by Dilshan for one run. A few more cheap runs before Ray gets a smidgeon of movement back into Dilshan and very nearly bowls him off his pads. That's huge from Jayawardene, plonking a size 10 down the track and heaving Price over square-leg for six more.

1st over - SL 14-0 Chris Mpofu with the first over for Zimbabwe and his second ball is short and wide and scythed to the boundary by Mahela Jayawardene. Boom - the next delivery is over-pitched and Jayawardene cosies it over the long-off boundary for six. Ominous. That's liquid cricket, Jayawardene whipping Mpofu over mid-wicket for four more, 14 from the over...

1429: Right, here come the Sri Lankan openers and the Zimbabweans are already out - play in a couple of minutes. The talk is that this track is about as lively as a damp mattress, so don't expect too many fireworks...

1423: As you will see below, Muralitharan has been replaced by off-spinner Suraj Randiv, left-arm seamer Chanaka Welegedara has been replaced by all-rounder Thissara Perera. For Zimbabwe, Andy Blignaut, Vusi Sibanda, Chamu Chibhabha and Timycen Maruma have been omitted from their 15-man squad.

Sri Lanka: Tillakaratne Dilshan, Mahela Jayawardene, Kumar Sangakkara (captain), Dinesh Chandimal, Chamara Kapugedera, Angelo Mathews, Sanath Jayasuriya, Suraj Randiv, Lasith Malinga, Ajantha Mendis, Thissara Perera.

Zimbabwe: Hamilton Masakadza, Brendan Taylor, Tatenda Taibu, Craig Ervine, Elton Chigumbura, Charles Coventry, Greg Lamb, Graeme Cremer, Prosper Utseya (captain), Ray Price, Chris Mpofu.

Zimbabwe captain Prosper Utseya: "Our bowling has been very disciplined recently, so no problem that we are bowling first. I might consider opening with two spinners today, but the seamers will also get an opportunity."

1416: I have just been asked to let you know that West Indies v England will be live on Test Match Special from 1815 BST.

1410: I haven't got the teams for you yet, but I will ping them over when they arrive. What I do know is that the Zimmers side will be jam-packed with spinners, with the fiery Ray Price likely to open.

1406: Sri Lanka have won the toss and skipper Kumar Sangakkara has decided to have a bat...

1402: Hello darlings. It's Sri Lanka versus Zimbabwe up first this afternoon, and the Sri Lankans have to win in Providence, or they're toast. That might not be as simple as you think - Sri Lanka have been dealt a big blow with the news that Muttiah Muralitharan is out of the tournament, while Zimbabwe beat Australia and Pakistan in warm-up matches.
