FOUR LEG BYES! Vishwa bashes the deck hard, with the angle coming into the batter, but down leg. Temba Bavuma looks to work it off his pads and tries to tickle it fine but misses. The ball brushes him on the thigh pad and races away past the keeper to his left for a boundary down at fine leg.

Huge shout for LBW! Not given! Will Sri Lanka take the review? Yes, they will. If this is not out, it will be a century for Bavuma as it has been signalled as runs! It was a full ball, around off, Temba Bavuma got down and across to sweep but missed and the ball hit something on its way, as it went through the vacant leg slip region. The batters took a triple as square leg got to the ball but the Lankans just delayed the celebration for a while. They took the review and UltraEdge showed nothing when ball passed the bat! So that means, dead plumb. Wait, hang on! There is a murmur as the ball is next to the glove! So it does mean runs! That also means that BAVUMA HAS SCORED HIS THIRD TEST TON! What a way to get there. Edgy and jittery through the 90s and nearly gone for 98. But all's well that ends well.

DRINKS BREAK! The last 10-15 minutes have been thrilling, but Sri Lanka haven’t capitalized on the half-chances that came their way. Luck hasn’t favoured them, but the new ball is brewing doubts. A breakthrough here could open the gate for them. For the Proteas, everything remains firmly under control. This break offers the skipper, Temba Bavuma, a crucial breather to refocus and navigate through the nervous 90s! Prabath Jayasuriya has been given the ball now. 34-2-102-2 so far.

A short ball, outside off, nipping back in, Tristan swivels to pull but misses. Gets hit on the body and the ball deflects towards point. A leg bye is taken. This stand is now worth 210. With so much happening in the last few minutes, missed out on their double century stand!
