2.24pm Sri Lanka have fought hard to bring the deficit down to 44. By no means is this match-winning, and South Africa will know all too well that they have to bat well. Sri Lanka's lower order, particularly the ninth-wicket pair of Embuldeniya and Rajitha, stuck in, fought through tough passes, were willing to cop blows and added 32 runs. Only time will tell how crucial that passage was. They've also taken tea with that.

Rabada to Embuldeniya, OUT, makes room to loft over cover, ends up mistiming it and Steyn does well to move to his right from mid-off to pluck that.
