- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.1 he has struck first ball! Big inswing for Kula, the keeper (Chandimal) was up to the stumps, the ball swerved back in and Davids was forward and was across the stumps trying to work it to the on side, hit low on the pads, you could see the leg stump 0/17.2 doesn't take long for Mendis to strike! Looked like the leg break, he was forward and it skidded through and hit the base of the pads in front of the off stump 45/219.3 finally some success for SL! A fine yorker, swings back in and hits the base of the stumps, ends a fine innings 157/3Extras10 (lb 1, w 9)TOTAL163/3 (20 Overs, RR: 8.15)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Henry Davids, 0.1 ov), 2-45 (Quinton de Kock, 7.2 ov), 3-157 (Faf du Plessis, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.5 fuller length on middle and off and Jayawardene makes room before going for another inside-out shot over extra-cover. Ends up mistiming it as it spoons harmlessly to de Villiers at extra-cover. One of the more entertaining 33's you will ever see 67/17.1 short and wide from Wiese. Perera slashes this over cover but ends up holing out to sweeper cover. Another tame dismissal from Kusal 71/212.3 Chandimal fails to make SA pay dearly for that let-off the last over, Tahir tosses it up and slows it down, he comes down the pitch to smash it out of here, beaten in flight 100/315.3 length ball on middle and Mathews, looking to work this to the leg side, but the ball ends up hitting the bottom-edge of the bat and drags on to the stumps. Quite an innocuous way to get out 123/4Extras3 (lb 1, nb 1, w 1)TOTAL164/4 (18.1 Overs, RR: 9.02)Fall of wickets: 1-67 (Mahela Jayawardene, 5.5 ov), 2-71 (Kusal Perera, 7.1 ov), 3-100 (Dinesh Chandimal, 12.3 ov), 4-123 (Angelo Mathews, 15.3 ov)
