Lakitha: "Poor, Poor, POOR cricket from SL. Threw away a great opportunity to match SA score and give them a real fight. Could've been a chance to seal the series as well. This type of Hit-n-Go attitude is why SL team lost the confidence of their fans. Thiri, Niroshan and Mendis should be go out and let space for new faces. "

Corne Read: "Please explain the rules regarding an injured player? Surely if a player gets injured in a game the 12th man should be allowed to bat/bowl. Also what is the rule regarding coming into a match with an injury?" --- Unfortunately, doesn't work that way. As of now, the only function that a substitute can perform is to field for an injured player. But it's a question worth asking and worth working into rules. Perhaps have rolling subs like hockey at some stage in cricket?

11.30am Fitting that the last wicket falls to Kagiso Rabada. He was also the most excellent bowler last evening, and continued with good pace and fire on Day 2 to lead the South African charge. With Lasith Embuldeniya absent hurt, that's that for the Sri Lankan innings. They have conceded a first-innings lead of 68

Rabada to Dickwella, OUT, short, and he moves across to the on side and tries to ramp it....just guides it high and towards Dean Elgar, who takes a good catch at point, running backwards and over his shoulder

N Dickwella c Elgar b Rabada 42 (53m 36b 6x4 1x6) SR: 116.66

franklin willem: "loving your commentary.. niroshan dickwella showed his worth the last time they visited SA with that special T20 knocks.. loving the attack minded approach.. besides these low scoring test matches are becoming.. A THING!!!"

Rabada to Dickwella, no run, fuller, angles across him, and he moves away and tries to run it down towards point. Didn't miss off stump by much

Rabada to Dickwella, no run, length ball, and he goes for a pull. Seems to hit his arm and pop up towards first slip. Lands well short, though

Sachitra: "@Missaka, Dilshan was called "starfish" for the invention of Dillscoop. Based on what we see in Dickwella's batting we should call him "Patrick" instead."
