41.5

Herath to Peterson, no run, and nearly another one, run-out chance, off the outside edge towards point, wants a single initially but changes his mind after taking a step or two, Parnell has to hustle back and was in trouble if there was a direct hit, there wasn't

41.6

Herath to Peterson, no run, more drama, Sangakkara is absolutely convinced there's a faint edge through as Peterson looks to defend, a huge appeal, turned down, and SL don't even go for the review

Malinga to Peterson, no run, a yorker on middle stump, Peterson does well to defend that back to the bowler

South Africa 269/6   RJ Peterson 7* (18b)

46.5

Dilshan to Peterson, FOUR, ambitious from Peterson, and it works, goes for the switch-hit, gets a bit of a top-edge but that flies over short third man and runs away for four, South Africa finally find their misplaced momentum

Dilshan to Peterson, no run

South Africa 282/6   RJ Peterson 11* (20b 1x4)

47.4

Kulasekara to Peterson, 2 runs, full ball outside off, carved behind a diving point, fielder gets a touch on that to take the pace off

47.5

Kulasekara to Peterson, OUT, a wicket! Peterson thinks he's AB de Villiers here, trying some outrageous strokes, jumps across the stumps and guides the ball towards short fine leg, sets off for a single, Sri Lanka get a direct hit at last, Parnell is caught short by Tharanga's throw

WD Parnell run out 21 (28m 17b 0x4 1x6) SR: 123.52

South Africa 289/7   RJ Peterson 17* (23b 2x4)

48.1

49.1

Kulasekara to Peterson, 1 run, a length ball outside off, slapped towards Malinga at extra cover, drops well short of the fielder

49.5

Kulasekara to Peterson, 2 runs, full and heading for off, Peterson always wanted two after driving the ball to long-off, the pressure was on Herath as the ball bounced towards him, he fumbles and two is taken

49.6

Kulasekara to Peterson, no run, full and wide, end of a good over from Kulasekara, Peterson can't get bat on that one, South Africa end on 299, one short of the highest score at this ground, but about 50 short of what they looked like getting an hour and a half ago

South Africa 299/7   RJ Peterson 23* (31b 2x4)
