SA vs SL 1st Test Day 3 LIVE
Around off, worked through mid-wicket for a single.
Huge shout for LBW, but turned down. Seemed to be going down the leg side. Prabath Jayasuriya came wide of the crease, from around the wicket and landed it around middle and leg. The skipper looked to defend but got hit on the pads. Replay detects an inside edge as well.
Around off, pushed to the off side.
Tossed up, around off, Bavuma jumps out now, but is beaten in flight. However, he covers the line and defends, albeit awkwardly.
Full, around middle, Temba Bavuma defends it watchfully. For some reason, wicketkeeper Kusal Mendis appeals for LBW.
Flighted, outside off, Tristan Stubbs makes good use of his feet. Jumps out of his crease, gets to the pitch of the ball and drives it to the left of the bowler towards long off for a single.
Around middle and leg, TB works it straight to short leg.
A short leg comes into position now. Predictably, Kumara goes short again. Temba ducks underneath it.
Kumara switches to around the wicket. Bangs it short, around middle, the skipper rises with the bounce and knocks the ball down beside him, on the leg side.
A short ball, around middle, Tristan Stubbs helps it towards fine leg for a single.
Misdirected delivery. Full but way down the leg side, Bavuma looks to flick but cannot reach it. The keeper, Kusal Mendis does exceptionally well to dive to his left. Gets a glove on it and makes a half stop, parrying the ball towards square leg. A bye taken.
Very full, outside off, swinging in, Temba Bavuma pushes it towards mid on.
Very full, on middle, Bavuma whips it through mid-wicket for a run. Moves to 60 now.
Around off, kept out.
FOUR! Full, outside off, Temba Bavuma gets down and sweeps it to the fine leg fence.
Landed outside off, watchfully defended.
DROPPED? That was sharp. But in reality, outstanding work from Kusal Mendis. Landed outside off, Stubbs got across and set himself for the paddle. But Mendis recognized that and quickly anticipated, moving to his left. The ball went off the middle of the bat and went straight to Mendis but because he was moving, could not quite hang on to the sharp chance. Deflected the ball towards short fine leg. A single taken. This partnership is now worth 120.
Full, around off, Tristan Stubbs drives it back to the bowler.
Changes the length, does Kumara. Makes it full, arrows it inwards towards the batter, but TB pushes it towards mid on. A maiden from Kumara. Tried a few things but needs to keep on doing it.
On a good length, outside off, Temba rises with the bounce again and dabs it to the off side.
