Anyone fancy adding any player/performances of the year?

[mikesiva]

Cook gets his century!

Amla and Elgar both fell close to the 50 mark.

Bat until lunch tomorrow and then declare?

[greyblazer]

Stephen Cook looks ungainly at times but seems to know how to get those hundreds.

[mikesiva]

South Africa 406-6 declared on the back of 60s from du Plessis and de Kock. Survival time for Sri Lanka.

[mikesiva]

Mendis gets his half century.

Out for 58. Rabada gets his second wicket.

Chandimal falls to maharaj his second wicket. Matthews gets his half century.

[mikesiva]

Sri Lanka 281 all out. Maharaj and rabada take three wickets each. Good support from Philander and Abbott.

[rich1uk]

cook fails this time, pretty horrible technique to edge one to the keeper

really looks like someone who is more vulnerable than most if he doesn't get his feet moving

[mikesiva]

Lakmal with the early wicket. He seems to enjoy saffer pitches more than his own.

Kumara gets amla. . Two down.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Since the England series, Hamish has been getting starts and not going on.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Usually a good batting pitch in Cape Town, so not a bad start for SL.

[Arthur Crabtree]

JPD goes for zero. Bringing in Kumar might be a wise move. Two in an over. And it could be a good choice at the toss.

[rich1uk]

very good session for SL

an england-esque 25 overs in the session tho

[mikesiva]

Elgar gets what could be an important half century.

[Making_Splinters]

Faf gone just as South Africa were looking to have started to get on top of Sri Lanka, good day's cricket thus far.

[Making_Splinters]

Ton for Elgar, gritty attrition stuff from him today, but vital for South Africa.
