SA vs SL Live Cricket Score

3 OUT! CAUGHT! BIG FIRST WICKET! Asitha Fernando sends back Aiden Markram! Beautifully bowled on a good length just outside off and gets the ball to swing away after pitching. Aiden Markram offers a front-foot defense but the ball kisses the outside edge of the bat and goes straight to Angelo Mathews at first slip who does not drop many. Sri Lanka picks up the first wicket of the match early in the day and Aiden Markram walks back at 9 (11) and South Africa are 14/1.  14/1

3.2 OUT! CAUGHT! SECOND IN NO TIME! Sri Lanka running away with the new ball! Both the openers are back in the hut! Vishwa Fernando swings the ball away from a good length just outside off and Tony de Zorzi pokes the bat from the crease, getting a thick outside edge of the bat that goes low between the first and the second slip. Kamindu Mendis at second slip, puts in a good low dive to his right and grabs the ball with both hands. Tony de Zorzi walks back on 4 (9) and South Africa are 14/2.  14/2

15.1 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Excellent comeback from Lahiru Kumara! Tristan Stubbs was not happy with the sight screen just before this delivery and maybe lost his focus, which led to his downfall here. This is back of a length and in the corridor of uncertainty, takes off from the surface. Tristan Stubbs stays back and just hangs his bat away to keep it out but only manages to get an outside edge. Dimuth Karunaratne at third slip dives to his left to take a sharp catch. Stubbs departs for 16 off 38, just as when he was starting to establish himself. South Africa three down now!  46/3

46 OUT! CAUGHT! The return of Asitha Fernando brings Sri Lanka a big wicket! Temba Bavuma departs after a well-compiled 70 off 117 balls. He looked solid at the crease, but he'll surely be disappointed with his shot selection there. Asitha Fernando keeps it on a good length, at the stumps, Temba Bavuma looks for a big swing across the line but fails to get the connection right. He skies it very high and over mid-wicket. The strong wind takes the ball away from Lahiru Kumara who was trying to swivel around it but he keeps his eyes glued onto the ball and takes a very sharp catch with both his hands pointing at the sky. South Africa are 165/9!  165/9

17.1 OUT! BOWLED'EM! Absolute peach of a delivery and Lahiru Kumara strikes again! He serves this fuller and just around off, gets it to jag back in sharply. David Bedingham takes a big stride out to defend but plays all over it and is late too. The ball sneaks through the gap between bat and pad to crash onto the off stump which goes cartwheeling out of the ground. David Bedingham's short stay comes to an end and South Africa are 54/4 now!  54/4

23.2 OUT! LBW! Lahiru Kumara has gotten an early breakthrough Sri Lanka were after! His happiness knows no bounds! Steams in from over the wicket and angles it in, on a fuller length, around off and gets the ball to shape back in a bit. Kyle Verreynne tries to keep it out but misses to negate the shape and gets hit flush on the front pad. An appeal is all that the umpire needs and he raises his finger. South Africa lose half their side and are now 83/5! Just the 9 for Verreynne.  83/5

32.4 OUT! LBW! Jansen has a long chat with Bavuma and takes the review, with 7 seconds left on the clock. Full and straight from Jayasuriya, Marco Jansen looked to defend it but the ball pitched and then spun away. Hit him on the pads and a confident Jayasuriya appealed. Umpire Paul Reiffel raised his finger. Time for technology now. Where did the ball pitch? UltraEdge first up. No murmur when ball passes bat. Now, Ball Tracking. Pitching in line! Hitting leg and middle. Sri Lanka get another breakthrough! Jansen departs for 13 (21). South Africa are 113/6!  113/6

34.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Spectacularly taken in the deep by Kamindu Mendis and Jayasuriya has struck twice in the span of 5 balls! The tempter from Jayasuriya, flighting this up, around the eyeline of Coetzee and asking him to go for the big shot. Gerald cannot resist and swings across the line, going for the glory shot. But he does not quite time it and the ball hits the lower part of the bat. As a result, there is no elevation. The ball dies on its way through but Kamindu runs in from deep mid-wicket, judges the ball perfectly and dives in front to take a stunner. The Lankans are cock-a-hoop now and bowling out the Saffas before Lunch seems a realistic possibility now! Coetzee departs for 1 (8) and South Africa are 117/7!  117/7

41 OUT! CAUGHT! Keshav Maharaj who looked so good out in the middle finds the fielder to perfection and trudges back with his head down! A timely wicket for Sri Lanka and Vishwa Fernando gets his second! He bowls it nice and full, on off, angling it away from the batter. Keshav Maharaj leans ahead and looks to loft it over the infield on the off side but ends up slicing it off the cue end of his bat straight to mid off. Dhananjaya de Silva moves a couple of steps to his left and takes it around his face. South Africa slip further down and are now 143/8 as Keshav Maharaj walks back for 24 off 35 balls.  143/8

49.4 OUT! CAUGHT! The short ball ploy finally works and Sri Lanka wrap the Protea inning for 191 runs! Asitha Fernando digs it into the surface, on middle and leg, Kagiso Rabada is quick to read the length and rocks back to pull but is cramped for room. He goes through the shot and gets a decent connection behind square on the leg side. Dinesh Chandimal from deep backward square leg keeps his eyes on the ball and is quick to move across the turf on his right. The ball comes to him at great pace and flatter trajectory but he does exceptionally well to take a very sharp catch to his right. End of a useful stand of 26 as well.  191/10
