6.00 pm David Miller has helped his team score 38 runs in the last two overs. Before that, South Africa looked like they were floundering. Their top order was cautious and provided a platform of sorts but the middle order struggled to pick up momentum against a disciplined attack. Then Miller arrived and his 85 off 72 balls led South Africa to only 223. It's more than they looked like getting, though. Sri Lanka will be favourites to chase successfully and take the series. I'll be back in 30 minutes for the second innings.

Niroshan Balasuriya: "Good to see a competitive total from SA, this will really test SL batting order. Good for the series rather than having plain matches!"

TimP: "Take a bow Mr Miller......too little too late, but at least someone tried.."
