a googly around off, beats the bat and hits the batsman on the pads in front of the stumps. Given out but Lakmal wants to review it. It hit him on the back leg, just above the knee roll, right in front of the middle stump. Replays confirm there was no bat involved and it would have hit the bails, umpire's call there, which means Lakmal has to go
South Africa vs Sri Lanka, at Cardiff, WC Warm-up, May 24 2019 - Ball by Ball Commentary
That's all from out side for this game. See you soon.
Faf du Plessis: All the batters got a chance to bat, all the bowlers got a chance to bowl. So a good day for us. Phehlukwayo is a wicket-taker. Fifty overs feel a bit long after the IPL. Quinton de Kock not batting was just a rest.
Dimuth Karunaratne: I think it was a good target but unfortunately we didn't get a good start. South Africa has a good bowling line-up, so we had to bat long. I stuck to my basics and that's why I could get some runs. Once you get set, you can get some runs. They both [Fernando and Udana] are fine. They will be playing the next match.
6.13pm South Africa would be happy with their effort. Amla looked alright during his fifty, while du Plessis scored a breezy 88 before Morris ensured South Africa ended with a flourish. Then Ngidi rocked the chase with two quick wickets. Karunaratne and Mathews scored half-centuries to put the chase back on track but Phehlukwayo's four wickets dashed their hopes. Moreover, Avishka Fernando hurt his ankle while fielding and Isuru Udana was struck on the right wrist. Sri Lanka will be hoping none of the injuries are serious.
