one wire will be earth - pin 1 on ECU

one will be sensor output / ecu input - pin 2 on ECU

one will be power to the lambda sensor heater coming from pin 87 of the fuel pump relay

can't tell you what colours each are, but you should be able to buzz them out with a multimeter to easily find which is which

The earth for the probe will be a brown wire. Pin 1

Sensor output will be a white wire. Pin 2

Heater will be a switched ignition live by the looks of my diagram and it will be black.
