Jansen to Jayasuriya, no run, Greeted with one into the rib cage, fended away safely

Prabath Jayasuriya into bat, likely the earliest he's ever been in the middle

Jansen to de Silva, OUT, Sri Lanka are folding, and they're folding fast! And it's yet another ill-advised drive that's done the the damage. This was a little fuller and De Silva can't help but go for the drive, and a little while later it's that dreaded sound of the stumps clattering. Inside edge and Sri Lanka are six down

Jansen to de Silva, no run, Beauty! Good length, angled in on off, pitches just outside the line and strengthens. Beats the edge

sproj: "Nothing with celebrating a wicket but every time Coetzee takes a wicket, I fear he will have an aneurism his face veins pop out so much. "

UncleWayne : "Watching from Melbourne. Now that the batting freak that is Kamindu is gone, I can sleep in peace. Good night y'all." --- Sweet dreams.

Thanks Suds. And what a session it's been for the hosts so far. Sri Lanka are in a daze, unsure what exactly has befallen them. Last recognised pair out in the middle now, and we're barely past the 10th over.

And drinks are on the field. Cue for me to hand it over to Madushka for the rest of the session

Coetzee to PHKD Mendis, OUT, Someone stop Coetzee already! He screams in excittement and that's a massive wicket. Bowls it full and outside off, around the fifth stump, Kamindu goes for the big booming drive through cover but only gets a thick outside edge to first slip. Knowing his propensity to score big, South Africa must be happy big time
