Dushmantha Chameera to Janneman Malan, FOUR! What a start by South Africa! Length ball outside off, Janneman Malan is still fresh from his last knock. He isn't going to miss out on that. Malan drives it through backward point and collects a boundary.

Praveen Jayawickrama to Aiden Markram, OUT! TAKEN! Praveen Jayawickrama strikes in his first over. Sri Lanka needed early wickets and that's exactly what has happened. Jayawickrama bowls a loopy delivery on off, spinning away. Aiden Markram puts a stride forward and looks to defend. The ball spins enough away to kiss the outside edge. It flies towards the first slip region where Dasun Shanaka dives to his right to complete the catch.

Dushmantha Chameera to Reeza Hendricks, OUT! TIMBER! What a delivery from Chameera. Always a great sight for any pacer. Chameera serves a good-length ball on off, angling in. Reeza Hendricks looks to defend but is completely beaten by the pace and angle of the delivery. The ball goes through the gap between the bat and pad and disturbs the furniture behind him. Sri Lanka have struck twice and in a very quick time. What a cracker from Chameera.

Dushmantha Chameera to Rassie van der Dussen, FOUR! Rassie van der Dussen is off the mark with a boundary. Fuller in length, on middle and leg. Rassie van der Dussen flicks it through mid-wicket and fetches himself a boundary.

Praveen Jayawickrama to Janneman Malan, FOUR! Sri Lanka can't afford to bowl loose balls. This was short and on leg, Janneman Malan turns and pulls it towards deep square leg for a boundary. Got the treatment it deserved.

Dushmantha Chameera to Rassie van der Dussen, OUT! TAKEN! What a catch. This is exactly the kind of effort needed when you are defending 203. Chameera bowls a length ball, touch fuller, on middle. Rassie van der Dussen flicks it towards short mid-wicket. Kamindu Mendis keeps his eyes on the ball and dives to his left to take a good low catch just above the turf. A stunning catch from him and Sri Lanka are all over South Africa at the moment. They are all pumped up. Rassie van der Dussen can't believe it but has to depart for a timid score.

Maheesh Theekshana to Janneman Malan, OUT! CAUGHT! It is a catch and Malan goes! Theekshana strikes off his first delivery in international cricket. What a moment for him and he will be very happy. Tossed up outside off, Malan looks to drive but it goes off the outside edge to first slip where Dhananjaya de Silva takes the catch. Let's stop here for a moment and describe this in two different parts. First part. Is it a catch? Sri Lanka are celebrating. But Malan is going nowhere. He stands there, thinking that the ball has hit the ground and then gone to the fielder. The two umpires converge and then raise it upstairs, with the soft signal as OUT. Here comes the replay. Pretty straightforward. The bat has hit the ground and the ball has gone off the outside edge. Pretty sure, Malan would have felt the bat hitting the ground as a bump ball, hence, wanted confirmation. Now, the second part. How good a catch was that from Mr. Dhananjaya de Silva? Very, very, very. Magnificently brilliant. We are running short of adjectives. Yes, it was a spinner. Yes, the ball does come slowly as compared to that of a fast bowler. But this one, just flew right at his face. De Silva just showed his reflex action and at the right moment, got his hands in front of his face and the ball went right into those buckets. My word, that is simply sensational. Congratulations, Theekshana, but please honour Dhananjaya for that ripper of a catch.

Wanindu Hasaranga to Wiaan Mulder, OUT! BOWLED! Wiaan Mulder misses it this time. Hasaranga bowls another googly, on middle. Wiaan Mulder puts a stride forward to defend but gets all squared up. The ball goes through the gap between the bat and pad and shatters the stumps behind him. South Africa lose half of their side for just 48 runs. They sink further. Sri Lanka bowlers are creating all sorts of trouble now.

Maheesh Theekshana to Heinrich Klaasen, OUT! LBW! All reds it is and Klaasen departs! Is that the game for Sri Lanka? What a delivery from Maheesh Theekshana. Tossed up on middle, Klaasen looks to flick but misses and gets hit on the pads. Sri Lanka appeal and up goes the finger. Klaasen takes the review. The UltraEdge shows no bat and Klaasen starts walking after watching that. Then the Ball Tracker confirms that he is a goner. What a debut it has been for Theekshana.

Charith Asalanka to Andile Phehlukwayo, OUT! TAKEN! Just when the partnership started to bloom for South Africa, Charith Asalanka provides with a breakthrough. What a bowling change from Dasun Shanaka. Gets Charith Asalanka into play and he does not disappoint. Strikes a wicket off the first ball. He bowls a flatter delivery outside off, Andile Phehlukwayo rocks back and looks to cut it but miscues. The ball stays a little low and goes off the bottom edge to the keeper. Dinesh Chandimal does well to grab it behind the sticks.

He took the pace off the ball. Kagiso Rabada stays deep and looks to defend but is beaten by the pace. The ball goes off the outside edge and flies towards the first slip fielder where Dhananjaya de Silva dives forward to take the catch.
