Stephen Cooklbw b Angelo Mathews 10 41 0 0 24.39
15.3
Mathews to Cook, OUT! GONE! Mathews draws first blood. Full inswinger from around off, tails into ping Cook on the front pad as he plays across the line. Huge appeal for lbw and it's given almost instantly by the umpire. Cook goes for the review after a chat with Elgar. Not sure why though as it looked close. They check for the no ball initially and it's really close but Mathews is just fine. Over to the ball then, impact in line and crashing middle and leg. That's the early breakthrough for the Lankans.
Dean Elgarc Dimuth Karunaratne b Lahiru Kumara 27 54 3 0 50
16.2
L Kumara to Elgar, OUT! KUMARA STRIKES! One wicket often brings two and the Lankans are absolutely pumped up. Back of a length outside off, extra bounce as Elgar pushes at it. Gets the outside edge that flies straight to Karunaratne at first slip. All of a sudden, all that hard work of seeing off the first hour is undone for the Proteas as both openers are back in the hut. Sri Lanka have roared back after the drinks break.
Hashim Amlac Dinesh Chandimal b Nuwan Pradeep 134 265 16 0 50.57
107.2
N Pradeep to H Amla, OUT! Excellent by Chandimal! Good length outside off, shapes away late to force the edge as Amla is squared up. Chandimal dives to his right to take a brilliant one-handed catch. Superb stuff from the keeper as the edge was dying and wouldn't have carried to first slip. Sri Lanka's morning continues to get better and better. Great knock from Amla comes to an end and he receives a warm round of applause.
JP Duminyc Kusal Mendis b Lahiru Kumara 155 221 19 0 70.14
88.4
L Kumara to Duminy, OUT! Duminy departs at the fag end of the day! Kumara strikes and is pumped up. He angles across a length delivery outside off, JP gets forward to push inside the line and nicks it behind to second slip. Kusal Mendis dives to his left to complete a good catch. End of a brilliant innings and JP walks back amidst a huge cheer from the crowd. This also brings an end to an extraordinary 292-run stand.
Duanne Olivierc Dinesh Chandimal b Angelo Mathews 3 24 0 0 12.5
97.5
A Mathews to Olivier, OUT! The decision is overturned! Really, really good review this from Sri Lanka. Mathews provides a breakthrough, the first breakthrough of the day. Angelo bowls a length ball outside off, Duanne Olivier looks to defend as the ball goes through to Chandimal. The Lankans put in an appeal but umpire Oxenford stays unmoved. The Asians feel there was a nick and so they take it upstairs. Replays show there was a feather and Olivier starts to walk back without troubling the scorers much.
Faf du Plessis (C)c Kusal Mendis b Nuwan Pradeep 16 25 2 0 64
103.3
N Pradeep to du Plessis, OUT! Faf's struggle is over! Length ball slanted in from around off, Faf is squared up once again due to the late movement and extra bounce. The edge flies to second slip where Mendis pouches the offering with glee. The SA skipper never looked comfortable and he has to depart now. It's been a very good morning for the Lankans so far, they've bowled really well and have also choked the runs.
Temba Bavumac Kaushal Silva b Nuwan Pradeep 0 2 0 0 0
103.5
N Pradeep to T Bavuma, OUT! DUCK FOR BAVUMA! Pradeep is breathing fire at the moment with a double strike. It's the full outswinger outside off, Bavuma chases with zero footwork and gets a thick edge that flies high to third slip where Silva takes a very sharp catch. Bavuma's lean patch continues. This pitch has quickened up really well and one has to feel that the Lankans have woken up late with 364 already on the board. Nevertheless, a good comeback today from the tourists.
Quinton de Kock (W)c Dhananjaya de Silva b Lahiru Kumara 34 51 5 0 66.67
124.1
L Kumara to de Kock, OUT! Caught! It's a stunner of a catch from Dhananjaya de Silva. Kumara hurls a back of a length ball outside off, de Kock chases it as he looks to slash this one over point. Gets it right but de Silva in the deep comes sprinting across to his left and takes a diving catch at deep point. SOUTH AFRICA BOWLED OUT FOR 426!
Vernon Philanderc Dinesh Chandimal b Nuwan Pradeep 0 7 0 0 0
109.2
N Pradeep to Philander, OUT! WHAT A RIPPER! Absolutely unplayable stuff from Pradeep and Philander has to go. Good length on fourth stump line, kicks up off the deck with extra bounce. Gets the nick through to Chandimal who takes it comfortably. What a spell this has been from Pradeep! He now has four wickets to his name.
Wayne Parnellc Upul Tharanga b Lahiru Kumara 23 47 4 0 48.94
122.1
L Kumara to W Parnell, OUT! Gone! Straight to the fielder! On a length and outside off, Wayne Parnell looks to hit this one over point. He does so but it goes straight down the throat of Upul Tharanga at deep point. A frustrating stand comes to an end. de Silva was asked to bowl the over but then for some reason Mathews asked Kumara to bowl. He delivers it on the very first ball.

Dimuth Karunaratnec Quinton de Kock b Vernon Philander 0 4 0 0 0
0.4
V Philander to Karunaratne, OUT! GONE THIS TIME! Philander has his man and he's pumped up. Length ball shaping away late after pitching, Karunaratne feels for it without any footwork and gets a feather through to de Kock who pouches it comfortably. Duck for Dimuth as it's an early strike for the Proteas.
Kaushal Silvac Quinton de Kock b Kagiso Rabada 13 42 2 0 30.95
14.5
K Rabada to Silva, OUT! Rabada strikes! Back of a length outside off, moves away very late as Silva pokes tentatively at it. Gets a thin nick that is gobbled up by de Kock behind the stumps. Perfect start for the Proteas after tea. Silva would be gutted after having started well with patience.
Kusal Mendisc JP Duminy b Kagiso Rabada 41 58 6 1 70.69
20.2
K Rabada to Mendis, OUT! THAT'S A CRACKER! Nothing much Mendis could have done there and he's out of here. Dug in short around off, angled into his body and he tries to fend at it. The ball keeps climbing at him alarmingly and pops up off the handle and then glove towards Duminy at gully. Easy catch taken and it's the local boy who is at it again. His father in the stands is beaming. Mendis goes after having got his eye in. SL trail by 364.
Dhananjaya de Silvac Temba Bavuma b Vernon Philander 10 24 1 0 41.67
21.4
Philander to Silva, OUT! POOR SHOT! The Lankans are imploding at the moment as Philander has his second. Fuller ball outside off, shaping away, de Silva goes for a wild drive away from the body and gets a slice towards point. Bavuma times his leap perfectly to take a really brilliant catch. Superb stuff from him but it was a really bad shot from de Silva in the first place.
Angelo Mathews (C)c Quinton de Kock b Kagiso Rabada 19 43 3 0 44.19
36.6
K Rabada to Mathews, OUT! Quinton de Kock, you freaking beauty! He's made a habit of pulling out such one-handed stunners, hasn't he? On a length and just outside off, moves away ever so slighlty with some bounce. Mathews feels for it and as a result goes after it. An outside edge is induced and de Kock behind the stumps dives almost near Amla at first slip and takes a ridiculous catch. The ball was almost dipping in front of him but he pouches it with so much ease. Gets up immediately and asks for some attention from his mates. Sri Lanka trail by 326 runs.
Dinesh Chandimal (W)c Quinton de Kock b Vernon Philander 5 30 0 0 16.67
31.1
V Philander to Chandimal, OUT! Edged and Chandimal departs! Philander draws first blood this morning. He hurls it on a length and gets it to shape away slightly from the batsman, Chandimal still feels for it and tries to poke. Gets a thick outside edge for de Kock to take a regulation catch. Sri Lanka now have lost half their side and trail by 336 runs.
Upul Tharangac Dean Elgar b Duanne Olivier 24 45 4 0 53.33
44.2
D Olivier to Tharanga, OUT! OLIVIER HAS ANOTHER! Good length outside off, shaping away with extra bounce as Tharanga hangs his bat at it. The ball flies off the shoulder of the blade to third slip where Elgar pouches it safely. We are now down to the last wicket. Faf must be thinking regarding the follow-on now.
Rangana Herathc Stephen Cook b Duanne Olivier 8 11 1 0 72.73
40.2
D Olivier to Herath, OUT! Got him! Duanne Olivier gets his maiden Test scalp! And this bloke is absolutely delighted, well, that feeling is totally different. Back of a length ball on off, it rises off the deck and gets bigger on Herath. He tries to pull but is cramped for room. Gets a top edge which squirts towards backward square leg where Stephen Cook takes the simplest of the catches.
Suranga Lakmalc Kagiso Rabada b Wayne Parnell 4 9 1 0 44.44
43.6
W Parnell to Lakmal, OUT! GONE! Parnell has one to his name! Keeps it very full outside off, Lakmal cannot keep the drive down and Rabada gobbles up the chance at short extra cover. The procession continues for the Lankans. They still trail by 300.
Lahiru Kumaranot out 1 1 0 0 100
Nuwan Pradeepc & b Wayne Parnell 4 7 0 0 57.14
45.4
Parnell to Pradeep, OUT! That seals it! Fuller on off, Pradeep is early into the drive and pops it back at Parnell who dives forward on his followthrough to take the return catch. It is referred upstairs to see if he has taken it cleanly. The soft signal is out and the third umpire is relatively satisfied with the replays and the soft signal is vindicated. SRI LANKA HAVE BEEN BOWLED OUT FOR 131.

Dimuth Karunaratneb Kagiso Rabada 50 78 5 0 64.1
29.3
K Rabada to Karunaratne, OUT! BOWLED 'EM! Karunaratne has been blown away by a Rabada special. Full and outside off, lures the opener into a loose drive but he has left a slight gap between bat and pad. The ball nips back in sharply to disturb the timber. Superb delivery this from the talented pacer and he signals to his dad who is proud in the crowd. This could be over very quickly today.
Kaushal Silvac Quinton de Kock b Kagiso Rabada 0 1 0 0 0
1.1
K Rabada to Silva, OUT! RIPPER FROM RABADA! Silva has gone for a golden duck. How casual was that catch from de Kock? He made it look easy by taking with his right hand. Coming to the delivery, back of a length around off, climbs on Silva who is unable to cope with the extra bounce. The ball flies off the glove towards Quinton who does the rest. All the SA players are in splits including de Kock himself. Disastrous start for the Lankans, again!
Kusal Mendisb Wayne Parnell 24 50 5 0 48
12.5
W Parnell to Mendis, OUT! Chopped on! Parnell is ecstatic. A catch was dropped on the first ball of the over but now he says I will do it myself! On a length and comes back in a bit and cramps Mendis for room who gets an inside edge that cannons on to the stumps. Mendis is gutted at himself as he walks back after seeing off the main pacers.
Dhananjaya de Silvac Faf du Plessis b Duanne Olivier 12 23 1 0 52.17
19.2
D Olivier to de Silva, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Olivier breaks the resistance that was looking to build a bit. To be honest, neither of the two batsmen were looking confident and were surviving quite a lot of close calls that it was only a matter of time. Coming to the ball, it was on a length around off, shapes away late as de Silva pushes tamely at it. The edge flies to second slip where du Plessis takes a good low catch. SL TRAIL BY 236.
Angelo Mathews (C)c Faf du Plessis b Duanne Olivier 10 11 1 0 90.91
23.6
Olivier to A Mathews, OUT! TAKE A BOW, MR.FAF DU PLESSIS! What an absolute stunner! Mathews cannot believe it but he has to go. Poor shot selection it was anyway but he must have thought he got away. Back of a length ball outside off, he flashes hard at it and gets a thickish edge on it. Flies high over second slip where Faf leaps ferociously to take a one-handed blinder. Lands on the ground and kneels to give a pose to the crowd. Big blow to the Lankans as the captain departs. SL trail by 208.
Dinesh Chandimal (W)c Hashim Amla b Vernon Philander 10 15 2 0 66.67
28.6
V Philander to D Chandimal, OUT! SMART BOWLING! Philander is a very wily customer and he proves it once more. He had been struck for two boundaries in the over and Chandimal was taking a few steps down the pitch to negate the movement. Vernon this time shortens the length a bit and draws Dinesh into the push. The away movement does the rest and the edge is caught by Amla at first slip. SL have lost half their side now. THEY TRAIL BY 187.
Upul Tharangac JP Duminy b Wayne Parnell 26 29 5 0 89.66
40.6
W Parnell to Tharanga, OUT! Gone! If de Kock and Faf took blinders early on, it's Duminy's turn to take an exceptional catch. How on earth do they manage to take these? On a length and just around off, Tharanga looks to hit it across the line but gets a top edge that balloons over the slip cordon. The batsman must have thought he must have gotten away from it but no, JP runs back, keeps his eyes on the ball and then dives to take a beauty of a catch. South Africa are just 2 wickets away from sealing the game.
Rangana Herathc Temba Bavuma b Wayne Parnell 10 17 2 0 58.82
34.6
Parnell to R Herath, OUT! BEAUDYYYYY! Herath has to go! Parnell bangs in another short ball on off, it kicks off the deck again and takes Herath completely by surprise. He tries to fend it away but the ball keeps climbing on him, goes off the handle of the bat and spoons up towards Temba Bavuma at backward point who accepts the dolly gleefully.
Suranga Lakmalc Vernon Philander b Wayne Parnell 31 26 6 0 119.23
42.3
W Parnell to Lakmal, OUT! It's all over for the Lankans! Wayne Parnell brings out another short ball on middle, Suranga Lakmal once again goes for the pull. This time he gets the connection but via a top edge. It skies towards deep square leg where Philander calmly settles underneath it. The home side is jumping in delight as they have NOT ONLY AFFECTED A WHITEWASH but have also sealed this BY AN INNINGS AND 118 RUNS!
Lahiru Kumarac Stephen Cook b Duanne Olivier 0 2 0 0 0
41.2
D Olivier to Kumara, OUT! The decision is overturned! Duanne Olivier gets his third and the end is nigh for Sri Lanka now. Short of a length ball on middle, it keeps climbing on the batsman. Kumara looks to fend it away but misses as the ball lobs off something and goes into the safe hands of Stephen Cook at short leg. They all go up in an appeal but Oxenford says it's off the shoulder. Still Faf opts for the review and Ultra Edge shows a slight spike as the ball went past the glove. That's enough for the TV umpire to change the on-field call. Smiles all around at the Wanderers as the Proteas are just a wicket away from a victory.
