0.4 to SC Cook, edged and gone! Terrific build-up and the perfect seamer's dismissal, probing line and length, extra bounce, a touch of movement, and Cook pushes uncertainly to graze an edge to the keeper. He might have left that if he'd been allowed an over or two of sighters, but he wanted to feel bat on ball, and now wishes he hadn't. 0/1 84.4 to D Elgar, and edged this time! Lakmal reward again. Lovely stuff. In the channel outside off, was a touch wider than the previous ball, Elgar just feeling for it a little, more seam movement, and a healthy edge to the keeper. 272/6

22.1 to HM Amla, through him! Gets Amla with a beauty. That's the length, full, making Amla come forward, it nips back off the seam and spears through the gap between bat and pad. 66/2 22.6 to JP Duminy, what a catch! Duminy has tickled it down the leg side. Well, well. How things change. Short of a length, 140kph, pitches around leg stump, Duminy looks to flick it away and just gets a touch of gloves. But Mendis made this wicket, diving to his right and grabbing it in the webbing of his right mit. 66/3 60.5 to T Bavuma, banged in short, and Bavuma falls! It wasn't especially short, but then Bavuma isn't especially tall either and that got big on him very quickly. Arrived at pace, a half-formed pull steepled down to deep backward square, and that's a comfortable take, five metres in from the rope! Three for Kumara in a very feisty display. 169/5 100.4 to Q de Kock, he's gone now! A fourth for Kumara...but has it carried? Yes, given out on the field. Didn't even go upstairs. Clearly carried. Good on-field decision. Round the wicket, de Kock feeling for a ball with a hint of width as he tries to run the ball to the off side. Neat catch, he had to come forward. 336/8 111.1 to VD Philander, five for Kumara! First ball back in the attack, and it's a jaffa. Outside off, tight to off stump, climbs into the edge after pitching, with a hint of movement off the seam, and a thin nick through to the keeper. Well bowled young man. He's got a very promising future if he can build on this performance. 376/9 115.6 to K Rabada, a fizzer and six for Kumara! Zipping off the seam, grazing the inside-edge as Rabada was caught on the crease. He is walking, but the dressing-room have urged him to use his review. It makes no difference. Off they go. South Africa take the innings spoils, but Kumara claims the morning's honours. Well bowled. 392/10
Rangana Herath	23.2	4	57	2	2.44	98	3	0	0	0
51.2 to F du Plessis, edged, taken at slip! So the drop hasn't proved too costly, and that's a bit of giveaway from du Plessis. Although, credit to Herath, he gave that more air outside off, slowed it down, encouraged another drive and it took the edge to Mathews. 142/4 91.2 to KJ Abbott, and he strikes! Round the wicket, some spin and bounce from a good length, Abbott can't pull the bat inside the line quick enough and it's a thin snick. 303/7

40.1 to HMRKB Herath, and this time the finger goes up! Three appeals in a row from Big Vern and this one brings the decision from Dar. Sri Lanka call for the review. Angled in from round the wicket, defeats Herath on the inside edge again. Oh, this looks a little high. But it does look straight. It's hit above the pad flap. It's a bail-trimmer. He's gone. 100/7 40.4 to RAS Lakmal, edged, parried, caught! Another pearler from Philander, bending into the edge from that tight line on off stump. A fizzing edge was palmed into the air by Elgar at third slip, for Amla at first to back-pedal and tidy up. This is starting to look a bit ugly. 100/8 42.5 to CBRLS Kumara, whoops! Well, that leg-stump line has done the trick, though not in conventional fashion. Kumara shoulders arms to a ball that swings in and it's timber! That is up there with one of the great misjudgments of all time, alongside Adam Hollioake against Warne .... 110/9 42.6 to N Pradeep, edged, and gone! Faf gobbles up a regulation nick at second slip, and as Elgar and Cook hurtle off the field, it is apparent that South Africa will bat again!. 110/10

Kagiso Rabada	12	2	37	4	3.08	56	4	0	1	0
15.3 to JK Silva, banged in short, an inside edge as Silva is trapped on the crease, and the extra bounce does for him! The stumps are rattled as the ball cannons down into the crease, and Sri Lanka's solidity is starting to liquidise. 31/1 24.3 to FDM Karunaratne, slapped to point! Super catch from Bavuma. Short, wide outside off, Karunaratne's eyes light up and he goes for the cut, doesn't keep the ball down, and Bavuma springs low to his left to hold a sharp one. 56/3 28.2 to AD Mathews, and another! They are falling away. Prodding at a back-of-a-length delivery outside off, a very loose prod really, and the thick edge travels quickly to second slip who holds a sharp catch. Nearly took him by surprise. 60/4 32.4 to LD Chandimal, wild drive outside off, edged and gone! They are falling in heap. That's a poor shot. Not footwork, reaching way outside his body and it's a graze through to the keeper. Not good from a senior batsmam. 78/6
Keshav Maharaj	11	1	32	2	2.90	52	4	1	0	0
23.3 to BKG Mendis, the ploy works! Mendis drops to one knee to line up the cow corner boundary again, but this one drifts in, straightens, and spirals off a top edge to plop into Duminy's hands at short cover. A big blow. 56/2 31.6 to DM de Silva, down the pitch, but given lbw! Used his feet, looked to whip to the leg side, it was very full and struck the back pad. De Silva calls for the review. Misses the inside edge. Is it outside the line of off stump? Umpire's call on contact and smashing off stump. Tucker the umpire. 78/5

19.1 to SC Cook, edged, taken at first slip...Sri Lanka have one. In the channel outside off, Cook pressing forward and it's a regulation outside edge which is comfortably held. 64/1 19.6 to HM Amla, got him! That's a beauty and it's a duck for Amla. Well, well. Pitches on off stump, curves away off a good length and nicks the outside edge. Perfect from Lakmal.. 64/2 37.5 to JP Duminy, fired in full, trapped in front - given! Was Duminy asking for the review? It appears Rod Tucker has told him he was too late, so he heads off, soon to be followed by the rest of the players as that is lunch. Another cracking ball from Lakmal, pitched in line with leg (so SA saved from wasting a review) and would have made a mess off the timbers. Something for SL to savour over their repast. 136/4 43.6 to F du Plessis, edged behind! Lakmal has been superb today. Just outside off, hint of away swing, looking to angle it away and gives catching practice. 170/6

Lahiru Kumara	12	0	62	1	5.16	42	9	0	1	0
46.4 to Q de Kock, edged behind...short of a length outside off, de Kock flashing outside edge and it's the first of the innings for Kumara. 192/7

30.3 to D Elgar, beaten in the flight, edged and taken - Herath does the trick almost immediately! Lovely stuff, futile as it may be, he got the ball to dip and then bounce, no turn which took it straight on to clip the outside edge as Elgar tried to close the face. Would have been a stumping candidate, too, had he missed it. 110/3

5.6 to FDM Karunaratne, gottim, leg stump cartwheels back! Philander pumps his fists as Karunaratne tucks his bat under his arm and walks off without a backward glance. The pressure was too great, he was looking to drive but beaten by the inswing, a thick inside edge taking it back into the timber - loose stroke, certainly, but Philander had earned it for a thorough working over. 11/1 9.3 to BKG Mendis, edged, caught at third slip! Easy as you like, really. A tempting length, full outside off but not a half volley, Mendis can't resist the drive on the up and the thick edge is taken at chest height. 25/2 61.6 to N Pradeep, bowled 'im, off stump pegged back! Philander finishes it, South Africa win by 282 runs and take the series with a Test to play. 224/10
Kagiso Rabada	17	3	55	6	3.23	77	6	0	0	1
23.2 to JK Silva, banged in, Silva fends at the ball, it lobs to short leg - up goes the finger! He doesn't review and replays confirm is came off the glove, SA chip out another, Silva's dogged resistance brought to an end. The delivery rose brutishly from back of a length and it was all he could do to get his hands in the way of his face. 66/3 25.3 to DM de Silva, full and straight, thumps into the pads, given! No review from de Silva, though it looked a bit leg side to me... and Hawk-Eye quickly shows that it was missing leg stump by a distance, not even umpire's call - but by now de Silva has practically crossed the rope! Shockers all round but Rabada has another and SL are four down. 69/4 45.1 to LD Chandimal, picks out square leg! Another horridly loose dismissal from Chandimal. A ball angling into the pads, he goes to flick it away, can't keep it down and it's a simple catch for Cook who is stationed just in front of square. 144/5 47.1 to WU Tharanga, bottom edge! Pushed across wide outside off, he went for the cut, the ball may have kept a fraction low and it snicks the bottom edge through to de Kock. 165/6 47.6 to AD Mathews, and now he's gone as well! Five for Rabada. Short of a length outside off, Mathews trying to drive off the back foot, done by some extra bounce and provides another simple catch for de Kock. 166/7 51.5 to RAS Lakmal, and that's ten in the match! Excellent follow-up delivery. Short-of-a-length at off stump, Lakmal can't deal with the bounce and it feathers off the glove to de Kock. 178/8
Keshav Maharaj	16	3	64	1	4.00	71	10	1	0	0
58.5 to CBRLS Kumara, gottim, stumped on the charge, SL nine down! Maharaj might have seen him coming, fired through wide of off stump as Kumara made room to try and flay through the covers, de Kock snaffled it and finished the job in a blink. 211/9
