Batsman R B 4s 6s SR Aiden Markram 20 35 4 0 57.14

Aiden Markram b Lahiru Kumara

11.2 OUT! BOWLED! Absolute beauty from Lahiru Kumara to get rid of Markram! His 100th wicket in Test career! Lahiru Kumara bowls it full and shaping in on middle, nips back in. Markram plays through the line but leaves a gap for the ball to go past the inside edge, might have hit the edge as it ricochets back onto the stumps. Sri Lanka have been bowling well so far.  32/2

Tony de Zorzi Tony de Zorzi 1 0 0 0

Tony de Zorzi lbw b Asitha Fernando

1.1 OUT! LBW! That looks absolutely plumb. Zorzi has reviewed but that seems out! UMPIRE'S CALL! Not a bad review in the end but Zorzi has to walk back. Excellent start for Lanka. Full and on the pads from Fernando. Zorzi misses the flick. He's hit right in front. Fernando doesn't even look back as he appeals and up goes the finger. Zorzi reviews and both the impact and the pitching are umpire's call. He could consider himself unlucky, Zorzi but has to walk back for a duck.  0/1

Ryan Rickelton 101 250 11 0 40.40

Ryan Rickelton c Pathum Nissanka b Lahiru Kumara

85.3 OUT! TAKEN! A fine batting effort from Ryan Rickelton comes to an end! Short of a length and outside off, Ryan Rickelton tapped the last ball to gully but goes with hard hands this time and hits it straight to Pathum Nissanka there. A clean catch and Ryan Rickelton has to go at the stroke of stumps.  263/6

Tristan Stubbs 4 18 0 0 22.22

Tristan Stubbs c Kusal Mendis b Lahiru Kumara

15.4 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Stubbs could have left it alone easily. Short of a length and outside off, Stubbs gets on his toes and tries to push it across but edges it to the keeper's right, Mendis dives and gobbles it up. Well wide of outside off but Stubbs got tempted there.  44/3

Temba Bavuma C 78 109 8 1 71.55

Temba Bavuma c Kusal Mendis b Asitha Fernando

53 OUT! TAKEN! The Lankans are absolutely delighted. They have managed to break the stand and also, their plan works. A good short one. On the body. Bavuma is hurried into the pull. He's also cramped for room. It goes off the top edge to the keeper who takes it. A good innings by Bavuma but he'll be disappointed he couldn't score a ton. They do check if the height of the bumper is fine. It is close but it is deemed in the favor of the bowler.  177/4

David Bedingham 6 19 0 0 31.57

David Bedingham b Prabath Jayasuriya

59.2 OUT! TIMBER! Chandimal will be a relieved man! The dropped chance hasn't cost a lot. A wicket quickly after the break, just what the visitors wanted. He steps out but yorks himself. Looks to go big down the ground but misses. The ball sneaks under his bat and hits the stumps.  186/5

Kyle Verreynne Wk 105 133 12 3 78.94

Kyle Verreynne not out

Marco Jansen 4 5 1 0 80

Marco Jansen b Vishwa Fernando

86.3 OUT! BOWLED! Sri Lanka are pumped up! A good length ball, around off, shapes back in slightly. Jansen looks to defend but misses and it goes through the gate and crashes the stumps. The off pole goes for a toss. STUMPS!  269/7

Keshav Maharaj Keshav Maharaj 4 0 0 0

Keshav Maharaj c Dimuth Karunaratne b Vishwa Fernando

88.1 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Straight into the hands. Early wicket for Sri Lanka. Just the start they would have wanted. They deserve it as well. They have been really good with the ball. This is on a length and around off. It lands and moves away a touch. Maharaj initially looks to defend but then seeing the moment, tries to bail out. Too late as it goes off the lower end of the outside edge and the fielder at first slip takes an easy catch. Can they keep the hosts under 300?  269/8

Kagiso Rabada 23 40 5 0 57.50

Kagiso Rabada b Asitha Fernando

100.5 OUT! TIMBER! Cleans him up! On middle. Length. Rabada looks to defend but misses and this hits the stumps.  325/9

Dane Paterson 9 10 2 0 90

Dane Paterson c Kamindu Mendis b Lahiru Kumara

103.4 OUT! GONE! That's the end! Short in length and on middle, Paterson looks to heave but top edges it to mid on. Kamindu Mendis from mid-wicket runs across, dives close to the other end of the stumps and takes it.  358/10

Extras 8 Runs (b: 1, lb: 1, wd: 4, nb: 2) Total 358/10 103.4 (RR: 3.45)

Batsman R B 4s 6s SR Pathum Nissanka 89 157 11 1 56.68

Pathum Nissanka b Keshav Maharaj

55.2 OUT! BOWLED! A slow walk by Nissanka as he departs. He goes on 89! Tossed up full and around off, Nissanka charges down to sweep but misses and it hits the stumps. Anyway would have been stumped there. Nissanka is disappointed as he falls.  199/3

Dimuth Karunaratne 20 43 4 0 46.51

Dimuth Karunaratne c Kyle Verreynne b Kagiso Rabada

15.4 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Loss of concentration for Karunaratne and he chases this one! He left quite a few but not here. Short in length and around off, Karunaratne is cramped a bit as he slashes and edges it to the keeper who takes it.  41/1

Dinesh Chandimal 44 97 5 0 45.36

Dinesh Chandimal c Kyle Verreynne b Dane Paterson

44.2 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Dane Paterson strikes! Bowls it on a length and outside off, in the channel of uncertainty and Chandimal pokes at it, maybe he was in two minds but goes after it, gets an outside edge and Kyle Verreynne dives forward and takes it.  150/2

Angelo Mathews 44 90 6 0 48.88

Angelo Mathews c Kyle Verreynne b Marco Jansen

76.2 OUT! GONE! Finally, Marco Jansen targets the batter and gets the reward. He uses his height and hits this short and on off, Mathews hops, trying to defend but gloves it to the keeper. Kyle Verreynne dives to his right and takes a good catch.  261/4

Kamindu Mendis 48 92 4 0 52.17

Kamindu Mendis c Aiden Markram b Marco Jansen

80.3 OUT! GONE! Marco Jansen strikes again and gets the set batter! Short of a length and around off, angling in. Mendis hops as he tries to defend but it goes off the shoulder of the bat to second slip where Aiden Markram takes a solid catch. Just the way Angelo Mathews got out.  268/5

Dhananjaya de Silva C 14 27 1 0 51.85

Dhananjaya de Silva c Aiden Markram b Dane Paterson

88.1 OUT! Edged and this time Aiden Markram takes it! South Africa deserve this! Bowls it full and outside off, Dhananjaya de Silva throws his bat at it, gets a thick outside edge to second slip where Aiden Markram gobbles it up.  297/6

Kusal Mendis Wk 16 28 3 0 57.14

Kusal Mendis b Dane Paterson

88.3 OUT! BOWLED! This was coming! Mendis looked uncomfortable right from the start! A length ball, outside off and it shapes in late. Mendis stands tall and shoulders arms only for the ball to hit the top of off.  298/7

Prabath Jayasuriya 24 32 4 0 75

Prabath Jayasuriya st Kyle Verreynne b Keshav Maharaj

99.2 OUT! Stumped! There's the end of the innings. This time he does step out and this is fired wide outside off. Jayasuriya slashes but misses and the keeper does the rest.  328/10

Lahiru Kumara Lahiru Kumara 2 0 0 0

Lahiru Kumara c Marco Jansen b Dane Paterson

88.5 OUT! GONE! Three wickets in the over! Dane Paterson is on fire! A good length ball, angled away outside off. Lahiru Kumara chases as he punch this one but gets a thick outside edge to gully where Marco Jansen uses his height in full effect, he dives to his left and takes with his left hand. It just sticks.  298/8

Vishwa Fernando 2 31 0 0 6.45

Vishwa Fernando c Kyle Verreynne b Dane Paterson

98.4 OUT! Edged and taken! There's five for Paterson. Superb effort by him. Length and on off. This lands and moves away. Fernando this time edges it as he looks to defend. Simple catch.  327/9

Tony de Zorzi b Prabath Jayasuriya

13.4 OUT! Timber! Much needed for Lanka! This is tossed up outside off. It lands and spins back in. Tony looks to drive. This goes past the inside edge and hits the stumps.  55/1

Aiden Markram 55 75 5 0 73.33

Aiden Markram c Kusal Mendis b Vishwa Fernando

24.3 OUT! GONE! What a catch by Mendis! Deserves his dues there! Pitched up, outside off, was there to be hit but it nips away and takes Markram's edge as he looks to drive. Kusal Mendis takes a one-handed stunner as he dives to his right. Can Sri Lanka trouble South Africa from here?  96/2

Ryan Rickelton 24 45 3 0 53.33

Ryan Rickelton lbw b Prabath Jayasuriya

29.1 OUT! LBW! The centurion from last innings goes! Unfortunate though for Rickelton! Tossed up full and on off, spins in and hits the rough. The ball dies and goes onto his the pads of Rickelton as he tries to defend. An easy decision for the umpire.  109/3

Tristan Stubbs 47 112 2 0 41.96

Tristan Stubbs run out (Dimuth Karunaratne / Lahiru Kumara)

60.5 OUT! Total miss communication and Stubbs has to walk back! This is the only way we believe this stand could have been broken. On middle. This is worked through mid-wicket. They take one. Bavuma calls for a second but then stops. They eventually go for it. The fielder fires it to the bowler who takes the bails off. Stubbs is well short despite the dive.  213/4

Temba Bavuma C 66 116 3 2 56.89

Temba Bavuma b Prabath Jayasuriya

71.4 OUT! TIMBER! That leg stump line works. Bavuma can consider himself a touch unlucky. This is on the leg stump. Bavuma walks across and then looks to sweep but fails to put bat on ball. It clips the leg pole. A good innings from Bavuma but he'll be disappointed he did not make most of the start he got.  254/5

David Bedingham 35 55 3 0 63.63

David Bedingham c Dhananjaya de Silva b Prabath Jayasuriya

77.2 OUT! Edged and taken! Jayasuriya has another on. He did not need to play at that though! This is outside leg. It lands and turns. He could have padded it away but pushes at it ahead from his body. It goes off the outside edge and it is taken at first slip.  268/6

Kyle Verreynne Wk 9 27 1 0 33.33

Kyle Verreynne c Kusal Mendis b Vishwa Fernando

79 OUT! Edged and taken! Wickets falling in heaps here for the hosts. Length and outside off. This skids through. Kyle hangs his bat out. This goes off the outside edge and the keeper takes it with a dive to his right.  273/7

Marco Jansen 8 11 1 0 72.72

Marco Jansen c Asitha Fernando b Prabath Jayasuriya

80 OUT! TAKEN! Fifer for Jayasuriya! Outstanding from him. Stick to his plans and has got the rewards. On the leg stump. Jansen steps out and looks to go big. It goes off the top edge deep mid-wicket and it is taken.  279/8

Keshav Maharaj 14 22 1 1 63.63

Keshav Maharaj not out

Kagiso Rabada 8 8 2 0 100

Kagiso Rabada c Kusal Mendis b Lahiru Kumara

82.4 OUT! Edged and taken! Number 9 down! Kumara has his revenge. Goes short again does Kumara. He looks to pull. It goes off the top edge and it is taken by the keeper. It wasn't given out at first but that's a good review by Lanka.  290/9

Dane Paterson 14 8 2 1 175

Dane Paterson b Asitha Fernando

86 OUT! TIMBER! Cleans him up this time! A yorker on off. Paterson looks to go over cover but misses and it hits the stumps.  317/10

Extras 18 Runs (lb: 8, wd: 9, nb: 1) Total 317/10 86.0 (RR: 3.69)

Batsman R B 4s 6s SR Pathum Nissanka 18 44 4 0 40.90

Pathum Nissanka c Kyle Verreynne b Dane Paterson

12.3 OUT! That's a loose stroke! Could have left it. He's drawn into going after one very wide outside off. Nissanka looks to play an expansive drive but it goes off the edge and the keeper takes it. This stand was looking good but has been broken now.  47/2

Dimuth Karunaratne 1 3 0 0 33.33

Dimuth Karunaratne lbw b Kagiso Rabada

2.2 Another appeal and the finger is raised again. Kaeunaratne seemed to be walking off but just at the end, reviews it. Looks out though. OUT! Three reds! That's a poor review. That seemed out! Length and on off. It lands and jags back in. Karunaratne looks to defend but misses and is hit on the front pad. Early wicket for South Africa.  10/1

Dinesh Chandimal 29 57 5 0 50.87

Dinesh Chandimal lbw b Dane Paterson

21 OUT! PLUMB! Big shout and the finger goes up! Fuller one, on middle and leg, Chandimal looks to flick it but misses as it hits his pads. An appeal and the finger goes up. Chandimal refers. The only thing that can save him is missing the leg stump. Fair delivery and Ultra Edge shows no spike. Ball Tracking shows that it was clipping the leg pole and we will have to go with the umpires call. They retain their review but Chandimal's long stay at the crease comes to an end!  64/3

Angelo Mathews 32 59 4 1 54.23

Angelo Mathews b Keshav Maharaj

31.5 OUT! TIMBER! Maharaj strikes! Number 4 down! Brilliant from Maharaj. He kept going flatter previously and now tosses it up on middle. It dips at the end. Mathews looks to go over the leg side but misses and this hits the stumps.  117/4

Kamindu Mendis 35 35 4 1 100

Kamindu Mendis c Kyle Verreynne b Keshav Maharaj

33.1 OUT! Taken! Number 5 down. Maharaj has another one! That's brilliant from Kyle Verreynne! What a catch! This lands outside off and spins back in. Mendis goes back to a ball he should have played forward too. It takes the inside edge, hits the pad and lobs beside him. Kyle Verreynne does well to dive forward and take it with one hand, inches above the ground.  122/5

Dhananjaya de Silva C 50 92 7 0 54.34

Dhananjaya de Silva c Kyle Verreynne b Kagiso Rabada

61.3 OUT! Edged and taken! First Mendis and now Dhananjaya. The two who got their side back into the game have fallen. South Africa will feel well and truly on top now. This is fuller and outside off. Dhananjaya looks to drive. This goes off the outside edge and it is taken by the keeper. Easy catch.  225/7

Kusal Mendis Wk 46 76 3 2 60.52

Kusal Mendis c Aiden Markram b Keshav Maharaj

59 Has that carried? Yes, it has! Excellent catch from Markram and the wicket South Africa needed has come. Maharaj it is. They are now into the tail. This lands on off and then spins away. Mendis lunges forward and looks to defend. The ball takes the outside edge and goes low to the first slip fielder and Markram takes it inches above the ground. It was referred and replays show that the catch was clean.  219/6

Prabath Jayasuriya 9 19 1 0 47.36

Prabath Jayasuriya c Temba Bavuma b Keshav Maharaj

65 OUT! GONE! That's the final nail in the coffin! Prabath Jayasuriya can't believe he found the fielder. This is dropped short, way outside off. Jayasuriya swings his bat and hits it straight to cover where Temba Bavuma makes no mistake.  233/8

Vishwa Fernando 5 24 0 0 20.83

Vishwa Fernando c Marco Jansen b Keshav Maharaj

68.5 OUT! Taken! Maharaj has his fifth. He really loves this ground. Bowls this one slower and on middle. Fernando looks to play the slog sweep. It goes off the top edge towards long on and Jansen takes it. The hosts just a wicket away now.  238/9

Lahiru Kumara 1 11 0 0 9.09

Lahiru Kumara c Ryan Rickelton b Marco Jansen

69.1 OUT! Taken! That's the end of the game. SOUTH AFRICA WIN BY 109 RUNS! A good short one on middle. Kumara looks to pull. It goes off the top edge and Ryan Rickelton at mid on takes it.  238/10

Asitha Fernando 0 1 0 0 0

Asitha Fernando not out

Extras 12 Runs (b: 5, lb: 1, nb: 6) Total 238/10 69.1 (RR: 3.44)
