- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR12.6 91ks dart from Maharaj, Perera doesn't lay bat onto it and has been given out lbw. Okay, Perera asks for a review almost immediately, which suggests he may have nicked it onto his pad. Ultra Edge confirms that there's no bat involved, however. It straightens enough from around the wicket, pings the front pad in front of middle and leg, with the tracker returning three reds. Perera has to go and with him Sri Lanka's hopes 80/51.5 that might be caught and bowled. Or at least that's what the South Africans think. But is it a bump ball? No it's not! This was almost yorker length, and Avishka jammed his bat down on it, pops back to Rabada, who takes it. And the South Africans knew right away that was not a bump ball, so appealed. They go upstairs and replays confirm that it's a legit catch. Great work to spot it in the field by the bowler and fielders. 18/12.2 stumped by a mile. Dhananjaya was dancing down the track, ends up yorking himself as the ball squeezes through between bat and toes. Quinton de Kock might have been unsighted, but has an easy enough take and plenty of time to whip off the bails. The ball went straight with the arm. The promotion to 3 has not worked today for DdS. 19/23.6 stumps knocked out of the ground. That's three balls in which the bowler has had the better of the batsman, one of which went for a boundary. Not this time. Bhanuka backing away again to try and crash it through off, Rabada kept it full, fast and furious, to take out leg-stump. 28/39.3 leading edge lobs to cover. Markram continues to strike against Sri Lanka. Gets this to turn from a length, and Kamindu was looking to flick it through the legside, gets a leading edge and the ball lobs gently for the easiest of catches. 62/418.2 back of a length and outside off, cutter into the pitch, Shanaka has to go after it at this point. He miscues it to long-on. Can SL last the 20 overs now? 101/813.5 Drilled straight into the lap of extra-cover. Hasaranga backs away outside leg, Fortuin spots it, drags his length back and slows his pace down. Hasaranga frees his arms, despite Fortuin's tricks, but can only hit it to Maharaj in the infield 85/614.2 arm ball, fizzes in at off stump, Madhushanka leans back, chops it hastily just wide of point and sets off. He is more than halfway down the pitch. Rassie moves across to his right, gathers the ball cleanly to capitalise on the mix-up. de Kock does the rest.
