2nd Test, Sri Lanka tour of South Africa 2019. Watch SL v SA HD video cricket highlights today – Second test day three from St George’s Park, Port Elizabeth (South Africa) Saturday, 23rd February 2019.
FDM Karunaratne (c) scored 19 runs and out when it was (10.1 length, angles across him, and he has nicked this through! This went at 135kph, and more than the pace it was the angle. Karunaratne gets sucked into going forward, and the natural angle away from him takes a feather edge through to de Kock. Karunaratne was looking solid. This could send some shock waves through the dressing room 34/2).
HDRL Thirimanne faced 27 balls and scored 10 runs when his wicket fallen then it happened like this (9.2 got the edge this time! Similar ball to the last one started just outside off and held its line at a good pace. Thirimanne held his bat out tentatively…it took the edge, and de Kock did the rest. Vital breakthrough for the South Africans 32/1). BOP Fernando scored 75 runs off 106 balls not out and BKG Mendis faced 110 deliveries and scored 84 runs not out. As a result of this 2nd test Sri Lanka won by 8 wickets.
South Africa win the toss and opt to bat first.
