SL have done much better than many thought they would after their shambolic tour of Australia

SA have problems with their top 3 too....Markram isn't fulfilling his potential, and is in desperate need of runs...Elgar hasnt had a big score for a while, and Amla is coming to the end of his career..

Not another injury?

Getting on for a fifty partnership here for the sixth wicket. No luck for the spinner and the new ball a long way off. 136 to win. Obviously, SL will lose, but SA must be a little anxious.

Sixty-five partnership. Of course, when one goes there'll be a clatter. But SL doing better than most of us thought.

Maharaj gets rid of Dhananjaya for 48.

Lakmal out first ball. Maharaj is on a hat trick!

Embul out to Olivier for four. Eight down.

Olivier only knows one way to bowl. Short, short and short again.
