Lahiru Kumara to Rickelton, out Caught by Nissanka!! Gone! Third time lucky for Kumara. He beat the bat first ball, found the outer half the second but the ball didn't carry, but this time it does and Nissanka takes a sharp catch. It was the pace of Kumara that undid Rickelton. He was leaving similar deliveries off Asitha and Vishwa. But the extra pace of Kumara forced him to make a mistake. Short of length delivery outside off, could have been easily left but Rickelton goes chasing and wafts it off the outside edge to gully. Nissanka reacts quickly and takes it over his head.

Rickelton c Nissanka b Lahiru Kumara 101(250) [4s-11]

Vishwa Fernando to Marco Jansen, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! One brings two. Sri Lanka are finishing the day strongly. They not only managed to send back to the centurion but also added Jansen to the list. Fernando is pumped and lets it know in his celebration. That will be stumps.

Marco Jansen b Vishwa Fernando 4(5) [4s-1]

Rabada to Nissanka, no run, dropped! Bedingham had a couple of tries but he does not hold on. Another short of length delivery, the line is closer to off-stump and the ball rises sharply as well, Nissanka looks to fend and gets a thick outside edge. The ball flies to first slip and Bedingham leaps up to take it over his head,

Maharaj to Nissanka, out Bowled!! Why? What was the need? Nissanka has gifted wrapped his wicket to South Africa. If it was Bavuma in South Africa's innings then it is Nissanka in Sri Lanka's. Both batters have thrown away excellent opportunities to score a hundred. Nissanka for some reason decides to give the charge to Maharaj, then he feels he has to play the slog sweep instead of going straight or with the spin
