Player Of The Match
  • 45.1

    OUT! Stumped. Akila Dananjaya to Lungi Ngidi. Leg spinner length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, missed to short leg, by Dickwella. Very quick hands from Dickwella. That was a leg spinner, it turned, beat the edge and Dickwella had the bails off in a flash. It's sent upstairs for the third umpire to have a look at. Well Dickwella was almost too quick! Ngidi's foot lifted but he'd already broken the stumps. There's nothing behind the line though and that's the end of South Africa's innings. Brilliant fightback by Sri Lanka. A few of the South Africans might have some explaining to do after the manner of a couple of their dismissals but take nothing away from the bowlers. Thisara Perera in particular impressed for Sri Lanka. Still though it's not the worst total. Quinton de Kock got South Africa off to such a flying start that Sri Lanka will still have to bat well to get over the line here. It's not the 350 South Africa would have been hoping for at one stage, but it could yet be a winning score.

  • 44.2

    OUT! L.B.W. Lasith Malinga to Anrich Nortje. Yorker, middle stump on the front foot defending, hit pad to. That has to be out, it is. Vintage Malinga, spearing in the yorker and it hit Nortje on the back foot in front of middle stump, an easy decision for the umpire.

  • 43.4

    APPEAL! Verified by umpire after REFERRAL. Akila Dananjaya to Anrich Nortje. Googly half volley, middle stump on the front foot reverse sweeping, Gloved to for no runs, appeal made for L.B.W. This looks close, I think it hit Nortje on the full. Well it's given not out but they will surely review this. They do indeed. Well, straight away the replay shows it hit the glove not the pad, good decision by the umpire.

  • 42.4

    Lasith Malinga to Lungi Ngidi. Slower ball full toss, middle stump on the front foot defending, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long off for 3 runs, mis-fielded by Rajitha. Very poor from Rajitha, his lapse in concentration costs his side three runs.

  • 42.3

    Lasith Malinga to Anrich Nortje. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot cutting, to third man for 1 run, fielded by Fernando.

  • 42.2

    Lasith Malinga to Anrich Nortje. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, hit pad to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Dickwella. An appeal for a catch behind, or maybe LBW, but it's not followed up.

  • 32.2
    Lasith Malinga c (Sub) b Lungi Ngidi 1 (4)

    OUT! Caught (Sub). Lungi Ngidi to Lasith Malinga. Back of a length, outside off stump backing away Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to cover. That's the match, Malinga attempts an ambitious shot over the offside after backing away to give himself room. Not a great effort with the bat from Sri Lanka, once again their players have flattered to deceive. They were going along quite well at one point when Fernando and Mendis were together but then there was that unfortunate run out. Fernando was out soon after and Sri Lanka fell away. It's another win for South Africa although there will be some questions regarding their batting after they made a mess of their last 20 overs. The hosts wrap up the series but there is one more game to go, see you next time.

    Imran Tahir to Vishwa Fernando. Leg spinner length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, missed to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Miller. Quinton de Kock has had to go off for some reason and David Miller has put the gloves on. Nice work from him there.

    OUT! Caught. Kagiso Rabada to Akila Dananjaya. Short, down leg side backing away pulling, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to mid wicket, by Mulder. Rabada gets another, a wild shot from Akila spoons up a simple catch to Mulder on the legside. The proverbial fat lady is warming up her vocal chords.

    Kasun Rajitha lbw b Imran Tahir 0 (1)

    OUT! L.B.W. Imran Tahir to Kasun Rajitha. Slider length ball, outside off stump on the back foot pushing, hit pad to. That is as plumb an LBW as you will ever see. It was the slider from Tahir and Rajitha was trapped on the back foot. The ball hurried onto him and struck him right in front of middle, easy decision for Aleem Dar.

  • 29.4

    Imran Tahir to Akila Dananjaya. Leg spinner length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, to deep cover for 1 run, fielded by Mulder.

    OUT! Caught. Imran Tahir to Thisara Perera. Googly length ball, wide outside off stump on the front foot driving, top edge in the air uncontrolled to deep cover, by Miller. He hasn't got hold of that one. I think he wanted to hit the ball straighter than that but it was the googly and it came off the outside half of the bat. David Miller was the man in the deep and he took the catch in two hands above his head prompting Tahir to go running off in celebration.

  • 29.2

    SIX! Imran Tahir to Thisara Perera. Leg spinner length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, thick edge in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. He's got hold of that one. It was in the slot and hitting with the spin Perera lofted it over the mid-wicket boundary.
