HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) Zimbabwe captain Graeme Cremer's all-around performance couldn't stop Sri Lanka's domination of the first test as the tourists led by 169 runs with 10 wickets in hand by stumps on the third day on Monday.
Spinner Cremer followed up his four wickets with 102 not out with the bat - his first test score over 50 - to save Zimbabwe from the follow-on as it made 373 all out in response to Sri Lanka's first-innings of 537.
By the close at Harare Sports Club Sri Lanka was 5-0 in its second innings and holding a significant advantage.
