35.6 to B Mbatha, bowled him! That's big rip from outside off, Mbatha was on the back foot looking for the cut, but that turned sharply back under his intentions and into the top of leg stump! Lovely bowling and another well-earned breakthrough. 173/4 44.6 to CJ Botha, poked loosely in the air, loopy return catch! Slower through the air, dipping and turning just enough from outside off, Botha hits it high on the blade and Gamage hops to intercept. 221/7
Chamika Heenatigala	10	0	29	1	2.90	36	0	0
25.4 to J Rowles, Rowles holes out to long-on! On the charge but he knew he hadn't got enough of it straight away. Slogged high but there's a man out at long-on and he takes his time to get under it before holding a comfortable catch. SL chipping away. 125/3
Vigneshwaran Akash	10	1	46	4	4.60	34	2	0
18.4 to A Lagadien, bowled 'im, there's the breakthrough! Cracking delivery, brings the googly back through the gate to hit middle! Akash pumps his fist in celebration, SL needed that. Well disguised, full and floaty outside off and then snaking back inside the drive. Kerplunk. 96/1 22.5 to M Bulbulia, rips one through him, Akash strikes again! Bulbulia is stunned, can't believe how this has hit his stumps. It needs the TV umpire to confirm that it was a genuine dismissal, but the evidence is clear. Fizzes the googly back from wide of off, Bulbulia plays ~~around~~ inside it and the ball shaves off stump with enough force to dislodge the bails. 113/2 40.5 to J van Schalkwyk, Full toss, honked to deep midwicket! Well, isn't that just the life of a legspinner! He's taken some tap in this over, then gets the breakthrough with his worst ball of a fine spell. JvS aimed for the fences again, but didn't quite get hold of it. Super diving catch from Wekunagoda, well judged in the deep and scooped up inches from the turf. 207/5 42.5 to L Phahlamohlaka, skids through, splats middle stump! Phahlamohlaka had been camped on the back foot to both spinners, and this was too good for him. Full, fast, flat, hurried him with a skiddy googly, straight through his defences. 211/6

5.2 to D Mahavithana, edged to second slip! Pitched up and gets him driving, thick edge and it's well held by Lagadien going low to his left. Kruiskamp strikes with the new ball, good pace and going on with the angle. Not much footwork from Dimantha and his stay is over. 23/1 33.6 to Kavija Gamage, wild swipe, big snick, stunning take from the keeper! Gamage's eyes were already whirring away to midwicket as his bat arced across the line, but Phahlamohlaka watched it off the bat, judged the pace, reached with both hands and clung on in his right glove to prise another opening!. 206/4
Corne Botha	8	1	37	2	4.62	28	1	0
26.6 to S Wekunagoda, inside-edged onto the stumps! Finally, the breakthrough, and it's reward for a persistent full length, across the left-hander's bows. Wekunagoda dangled his hands outside the eyeline, looking for another deflection to deep third, but he got the wrong half of his bat involved, and pinged back his own leg stump. 166/2 30.4 to V Chamuditha, stunning reply, a flying edge to the keeper! That's outstanding fast bowling, Tighter line, hits the deck harder, nip back off the seam, Chamuditha pressed down the initial line but was done in by the movement. The keeper was rushed as the inside-edge fizzed through to him, but he clung on well as he hit the turf, albeit with a juggle. 191/3

41.3 to V Dinsara, has a wipe through the fourth-stump line, snicked to the keeper! It's a very well worked wicket from James, who hits his length well and induces an error from the skipper! Dinsara was in a hurry to get this over with, and in so doing, he's given South Africa another glimmer. 237/5
