42.3 OUT! Amla is run out! This is some excellent fielding from Kusal Mendis. Hashim Amla's superb knock has come to an end. Well played, my man! It's worked to the mid-wicket region and Amla comes back for the second. Mendis fires a good, accurate throw at Dickwella who whips the bails off in a flash. Hashim dives to get back in but it's not enough. Umpire Dar doesn't even need to refer it upstairs. He raises his finger and that's that. 232/5

12.1 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! That tight line pays off. Sri Lanka get their first breakthrough. Pradeep bowls it on a length, angles it away. De Kock pokes at it and gets an outside edge. Dickwella dives to his left and takes a good catch. 44/1

33.4 OUT! Gone they get the breakthrough. It needed something brilliant to get du Plessis out and Chandimal comes up with a piece of brilliance in the field. Short ball, Faf goes for the pull but does not get enough elevation to clear Chandimal at mid-wicket who dives to his right and takes a superb catch. It was a superb innings from Faf. Sri Lanka have got a much-needed breakthrough. Can they build on this wicket? 189/2

34.4 OUT! BIG BIG WICKET! AB de Villiers is heading back to the hut. Back-to-back wickets for Sri Lanka. Drags the length short, de Villiers goes to pull it but gets a top edge and it lobs to short cover for a very simple catch. Two wickets in quick succession for Sri Lanka. 194/3

41.4 OUT! Lakmal strikes! This is good bowling from Suranga Lakmal. Seeing David Miller give the charge, the Lankan pacer bangs it short and follows him too. The southpaw looks to pull but is cramped for room and as a result, gets a big top edge to third man. Seekkuge Prasanna positioned there settles himself under the ball and takes a good catch. Big wicket for them, Miller as everybody knows is a deadly player, especially at the death. 226/4

47.5 OUT! Excellent piece of fielding from the Lankan skipper. Full outside off, Morris drills it straight to Tharanga at extra cover and takes him on. The Sri Lankan captain has just one stump to aim but he doesn't miss out. Hits his target and dismisses Morris who had given up. Timely strike for the Islanders, that's a good wicket to take in the fag end of the game. 277/6

8.2 OUT! The bowling change has done the trick. This was needless from Dickwella but this is how he plays. Length ball on off stump, from around the wicket, Dickwella tries to heave it over mid-wicket but gets a top edge and it goes straight to Parnell at third man who takes it easily. South Africa get the wicket they wanted. A fiery innings from Dickwella comes to an end. 69/1

25.2 OUT! Tahir gets the big wicket. Tharanga was playing so well. Tahir tosses a wrong one outside off, Tharanga goes for an inside out drive but the ball turns just enough and gets the outside part of the bat. Miller runs to his left and takes a good catch at deep cover. A very important wicket for South Africa. Tharanga goes after a well made fifty. 146/5

11.5 OUT! De Villiers, you beauty! What a catch by the skipper at mid on. Lands it on a length on middle, Mendis goes for the flick but the ball stops on him and he is early into the shot, it goes uppishly to de Villiers at mid on who jumps and takes a one-handed catch. They lose their second wicket and the Lankans need more 206 runs off 229 balls. 94/2

17.2 OUT! De Villiers is at it again! First he takes an outstanding catch and now a brilliant run out. Tahir bowls it on off, Chandimal drives it to covers and sets off for a run. De Villiers at extra cover dives and half stops it. Recovers quickly and hits the stump directly at the non-striker's end. They appeal and the umpire goes upstairs. The replays show that Chandimal is short of his crease. The third umpire gives it out and Sri Lanka lose their third. 116/3

17.5 OUT! Tahir, you beauty! Second wicket of the over. Bowls the wrong one, out of the back of the hand. Kapugedera does not read it and goes for the flick, he misses it and is struck on the pads. The South Africans appeal and the umpire raises his finger. What a game changing over for South Africa. They are on top now. 117/4

29.2 OUT! Imran Tahir, this guy keeps chipping away at the wickets. He has changed the course of the game. Tahir gets his third. Bowls a leg spinner outside off, Gunaratne goes for a drive but slices it straight to Parnell at cover-point who takes a simple catch. Sri Lanka are in big trouble here, they have lost six wickets and they still need 145 more. 155/6

37.2 OUT! South Africa get their seventh wicket. This partnership was their last hope and he departs. Morris bowls it on a length on middle, Prasanna tries to flick it but misses it and gets struck on the pads. Morris goes up for an appeal and is given out by the umpire. Prasanna reviews and they go upstairs. The ball pitches in line, the impact is in line and is hitting the top of off. So three reds and the on field call stays. Sri Lanka lose their review. 191/7

37.5 OUT! There goes another and its that man Tahir who gets a direct hit from mid on at the strikers end. You can't keep him out of the action. Back of a length ball, Lakmal slaps it to mid on and sets of for a run, Perera does not respond and sends him back. Tahir picks up tha ball and hits the stumps at the strikers end. The umpire goes upstaris to check weather he is out and he is short off the crease. The third umpire give it out. 191/8

38.1 OUT! He's dragged it back on! Rabada gets his first of the match. Bowls it on a back of a length around off, Malinga makes room to slap it over the off side but ends up getting a big inside edge. It goes on to hit the stumps and that's another wicket down. South Africa are just one step away from victory. 192/9

41.3 OUT! That should do it! South Africa have a win in their tournament opener and it's come via a dominant performance. Tossed up on the stumps, Nuwan Pradeep lofts this in an attempt to clear the wide long on boundary. Didn't middle it at all as it's straight down the throat of JP Duminy, who takes a simple catch. Tahir gets his fourth of the game and SOUTH AFRICA WIN BY 96 RUNS! 203/10
