Batting R B 4s 6s SR
JJ Smutsc Asela Gunaratne b Suranga Lakmal 13 8 1 1 162.5
2.4
S Lakmal to JJ Smuts, OUT! That's a good catch! Lakmal serves a length ball outside off, a cross seamed delivery, Smuts stays back and tries to heave it over the leg side but gets a top edge. The ball balloons in the air and Gunaratne judges the skier to perfection at covers.
Heino Kuhn (W)lbw b Nuwan Kulasekara 10 6 2 0 166.67
1.4
N Kulasekara to H Kuhn, OUT! Kuhn is trapped lbw! Kulasekara serves a full length ball on middle and gets it to curl back in a touch, Kuhn fails to get it away on the leg side and is rapped on the pads. They appeal and the umpire raises his finger after thinking for a while. After the way Heino slapped the previous ball, Sri Lanka will be relieved to see his back.
Theunis de Bruync Asela Gunaratne b Seekkuge Prasanna 19 10 2 1 190
4.5
S Prasanna to de Bruyn, OUT! Excellent catch! Prasanna gets lucky with this wicket. Serves it short and outside off, de Bruyn goes back with the cut shot but fails to keep it down. Gunaratne reacts quickly to his left from point and dives to complete a terrific catch. South Africa are concentrating on scoring quick runs but are losing wickets too.
David Millerc Suranga Lakmal b Nuwan Kulasekara 40 18 3 3 222.22
8.4
N Kulasekara to D Miller, OUT! You live by the sword, die by the sword. Nuwan delivers a full ball outside off, Miller once again swings his bat across the line and powers it over mid on. However, there isn't much muscle behind the shot and it's caught in the deep by Lakmal. End of a whirlwind 18-ball 40 by Miller!
Farhaan Behardien (C)not out 31 18 3 1 172.22
Mangaliso Mosehlerun out (Asela Gunaratne) 6 1 0 1 600
9.5
N Pradeep to F Behardien, OUT! Run out! Pradeep hits the yorker length on middle, Farhaan digs it out down to long off and crosses for a brisk single. He wants the second run as well but the throw from Gunaratne is accurate, right on the stumps and Mosehle is short of the crease. No need for the third umpire. The replays confirm the same.

Batting R B 4s 6s SR
Niroshan Dickwellac Theunis de Bruyn b Imran Tahir 43 19 6 2 226.32
5.1
I Tahir to N Dickwella, OUT! TAHIR STRIKES! Tossed up on middle and leg, Dickwella starts the over as he ended Tahir's previous one. Slogs it over mid-wicket. However, this time doesn't get the distance on it and it's straight to de Bruyn who takes it cleanly with a reverse cup. Tahir is delighted and shouts in delight!
Dhananjaya de Silvab Imran Tahir 27 16 2 2 168.75
5.6
I Tahir to de Silva, OUT! Double blow from Tahir! Quicker one, sliding into the stumps, de Silva goes back to cut but is beaten by the pace on it. The ball strikes the middle stump. De Silva has finally ran out of his luck! Tahir is delighted and does his trademark celebratory run!
Angelo Mathews (C)c Theunis de Bruyn b Wayne Parnell 6 8 0 0 75
8.1
W Parnell to A Mathews, OUT! Mathews holes out! A dipping full toss on middle, Mathews swings his bat, seems to have middled it quite well but to his dismay it goes straight down the throat of deep mid-wicket. De Bruyn makes no mistake and Sri Lanka's main hope departs.
Thikshila de Silvac Heino Kuhn b Aaron Phangiso 0 1 0 0 0
6.2
A Phangiso to de Silva, OUT! The spinners are doing the trick for the hosts! Short delivery, the debutant pulls it over mid-wicket. Kuhn gets under it and takes a good catch in the deep. It's a disappointing debut for de Silva! Three wickets in quick succession! 53 required off 22!
Seekkuge Prasannac Mangaliso Mosehle b Lungi Ngidi 12 3 0 2 400
7.2
L Ngidi to S Prasanna, OUT! Edged and gone! On a length outside off, Prasanna goes for the slog but fails to get it off the middle of the bat this time. The ball goes off the outside edge and Mosehle behind the stumps jumps to his right and catches.
Kusal Mendisc Imran Tahir b Lungi Ngidi 1 2 0 0 50
7.5
L Ngidi to K Mendis, OUT! A combined effort in the deep to take the catch! Length delivery, angling in, Mendis drags it high in the air on the leg side. Kuhn from deep mid-wicket runs to his right, grabs the ball and passes it to Tahir, who has come from fine leg to complete the catch! Smart thinking from Kuhn as he realized that the momentum was taking him beyond the boundary line. Tahir is up and running in celebration.
