file2
aa|bb|cc1|dd|55
aa|bb|cc2|dd|55
aa|bb|cc3|dd|55
aa|bb|cc4|dd|55
aa|bb|cc5|dd|55


required output
11|22|cc1|44|zz
11|22|cc2|44|zz
11|22|cc3|44|zz
11|22|cc4|44|zz
11|22|cc5|44|zz


I need to replace the 3rd field of file1 with 3rd field of file2 for all records(1st record should be replaced with 1st record only of the other file)
Both files have same number of lines as well as fields.
