SL vs SA Live Cricket Score

42.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Finally. Finally, the South Africans find a way to stop Fernando. He started off slow, got to his ton, then decided to unleash the beast, but Shamsi gets the better of him. Tabraiz serves a googly, around off, Avishka Fernando skips down the track and looks for the big slog across the line. Fails to read the delivery and the outside edge is induced. The ball lobs high in the air towards the point region, where Andile Phehlukwayo takes a dolly. As Fernando is going back, Tabraiz Shamsi walks up to him and taps his shoulder, appreciating the knock played by the youngster. Great sportsmanship! 234/4

11.5 OUT! TIMBER! Aiden Markram gets the first breakthrough. Loopy ball, around off. The ball turns in a bit. Bhanuka gets low and looks to slog-sweep it away but misses. The ball goes through the gap between bat and pad to shatter the stumps. Bhanuka is really disappointed with himself, as he walks back for 27. He could've hung in there. The visitors will look to build on this now. 57/1

12.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Another one falls for Sri Lanka, as Rajapaksa walks back for a 3-ball duck. This time, it is Maharaj who provides the breakthrough. Don't really know why you would want to play such a stroke on your third ball. Loopy ball, full and on off. Rajapaksa skips down the track and whips it across the line. The ball goes high in the air towards deep mid-wicket. Kyle Verreynne comes running in, to his right and takes a brilliant catch. 58/2

30.3 OUT! STUMPED! Maharaj is already into his last over and he provides with yet another breakthrough. He gets his second wicket of the game. The hosts wanted this pair to stick around for long but that was not the case. Loopy ball, outside off. The ball turns away off the pitch. Dhananjaya de Silva takes a long stride forward and looks to sweep it away but misses. Heinrich Klaasen collects the ball and was quick enough to clip the bails. He is off to celebrate, as he thinks that he has got his man here. The umpire takes it upstairs to confirm. They check for everything. First, the inside edge is checked. Nothing on the UltraEdge as it shows a flat line as the ball passes the bat. Then, they check for the stumping. Now, from the side angle, it seems like the foot is inside the crease. Now, they go for the back angle, that is the stumps camera. Here, we can see that the foot is on the line when the bails are whipped off. After what seems like an eternity, OUT comes on the giant screen. This was taking an age to come and eventually, it has come in favour of the Saffas. The 89-run stand is broken. 137/3

49.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Similar to the previous delivery, but this time, Charith does not get the required distance on this. Short again, around off, Charith Asalanka again lines up to the play the pull shot, but gets a top edge. This time, the ball only manages to go the left of the keeper, Heinrich Klaasen, who moves that side and makes no mistake. Second one for KG! 291/7

45.5 OUT! RUN OUT! Kagiso Rabada scores a direct hit and Shanaka has to depart. He thought he was in. Also, there were no celebrations from Rabada. Everyone thought Shanaka was safe but that was not the case. Back of a length and on off. Asalanka hangs back and defends it back to the bowler. Shanaka has already taken off for a single, but hears a no from the other end and he turns back to get to safety but he got a little too late. Rabada collects the ball, turns, and hits the wickets at the non-striker's end. The umpire takes it upstairs to confirm. The replays roll in and show that the batsman was well outside the crease. The final decision is out. 255/5

48 OUT! BOWLED 'EM! Rabada gets his first wicket. Wanindu Hasaranga is not able to go hard and provide that final push from his side. He tried to force the issue but he just did not get going. A yorker, speared in, around middle and leg, Wanindu Hasaranga moves leg side and looks to dig this one out, but the ball takes the outside edge and crashes into the stumps behind. 272/6

49.5 OUT! RUN OUT! Easily done. On a length, around off, this is drilled to the long on region. The batters want the second run. Anrich Nortje runs in, collects the ball and throws it to Rabada, who gets the ball and whips the bails off. Dushmantha Chameera is well short. 299/8

50 OUT! RUN OUT! Two run outs in the last two balls of the innings and that closes out the innings of Sri Lanka. This looked like a carbon copy of the run out on the previous ball. Back of a length, around off, Chamika Karunaratne steps out and bunts this to long on. Again, they look for a couple of runs and this was never a double. Anrich Nortje does well to pick up and throw to Rabada again, who whips the bails off quickly as Akila Dananjaya is short. Given out by the on-field umpire. SRI LANKA END ON 300/9! 300/9

9.4 OUT! LBW! Wanindu Hasaranga does the trick for Sri Lanka and finds the first breakthrough. Wanindu Hasaranga serves a googly on off. Malan goes back and looks to flick it away but misses. He gets rapped on his pads. Wanindu Hasaranga and company put in an appeal. Janneman Malan walks off, even before the umpire raises his finger. This was beautifully bowled. Malan could not do anything about it. 49/1

30.5 OUT! CAUGHT! To dismiss the set batsman, you need to earn his wicket and Wanindu Hasaranga just did that. Aiden Markram has to walk back on 96, he surely deserved his ton. Loopy ball, full and on off. Aiden Markram gets under it and lifts it towards sweeper cover. Wanindu Hasaranga comes running in, he puts in a dive forward to complete the catch. This was just brilliant by Hasaranga. He has given his team the breakthrough they were hunting for. 166/2

45.5 OUT! TIMBER! This is redemption for Akila Dananjaya. He gets his second wicket of the game. Loopy ball, on leg. Rassie van der Dussen comes across and looks to play the reverse sweep but this time it proves to be a costly one, as he misses it completely. The ball goes through to rattle the leg stump. Rassie van der Dussen could not take his team over the line. He fought hard but fell short. Akila Dananjaya is delighted. 260/4

39.3 OUT! LBW! The review does not save Kyle Verreynne and he walks back. That was plumb. The only reason he took it is that he thought the bounce could have saved him, but it was not meant to be. This is bowled fuller by Akila Dananjaya, it is the googly, around off too, the ball lands and spins back in as Kyle Verreynne shuffles and looks to work this to the leg side, he misses and gets hit on the pad. An appeal and the finger goes up quickly by the umpire. Kyle Verreynne has a chat with his partner and takes the review. UltraEdge shows no blade involved and Ball Tracker shows that this was three reds. Akila strikes and South Africa under some pressure now! 209/3

49.5 OUT! RUN OUT! Brilliant work by Minod Bhanuka behind the wickets. A length ball, on off. Klaasen works it towards long on. The batters look to take two. The fielder comes running in, collects, and throws the ball to the keeper at the striker's end as they were looking to complete the second. Minod Bhanuka collects the ball away from the stumps, but he was quick enough to throw the ball at the stumps to complete the run out. Heinrich Klaasen has to depart. 286/6

48.1 OUT! TIMBER! Chamika Karunaratne certainly held his nerves really well. He gets his first wicket of the game. A slower, length ball, on the leg stump. Andile Phehlukwayo stays back and plays all around it. The ball goes through and comes in contact with the leg stump. Andile Phehlukwayo has to walk back to the shed and the Lankans inch closer to victory. 269/5
