 Sri Lanka's players apeal during the first one-dayer against Zimbabwe Early morning rain on Monday delayed the start of the third of five one-day internationals between Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka here. Umpire Aleem Dar of Pakistan said a grounds inspection would be made at 11 a.m. local time (1000 GMT). If play gets under way after that a limited number of overs will be scheduled. Sri Lanka won the first two matches with ease, the first by six wickets and the second by nine. Zimbabwe's poor batting performances resulted in a total of only 191 runs being scored in their two innings. Zimbabwe make one change. Seam bowler Edward Rainsford replaces Chris Mpofu, who came in for punishment by Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Udawatte on Saturday. Teams: Zimbabwe - Hamilton Masakadza, Vusi Sibanda, Justice Chibhabha, Tatenda Taibu, Stuart Matsikenyere, Elton Chigumbura, Sean Williams, Prosper Utseya (capt), Ray Price, Tawanda Mupariwa, Edward Rainsford. 12th man Keith Dabengwa.
