    3.1 he gets a wicket off his first World Cup delivery. This was fullish, wide, and Nissanka's eyes lit up. He threw his bat at it, but as has been the case right through these early overs, he underestimated the bounce (Baartman, like the other SA bowlers, is a tall man). Gets a thick edge and it flies pretty much directly to deep third, who barely moves a couple of metres. That pressure had been building. 13/1
    9.6 Kusal goes! This is turning into embarrassing territory. Kusal just has not found any sort of timing and as he tries to launch this one over the square leg boundary, can only get a very imperfect connection that goes hiiiigh towards fine leg. Tristan Stubbs is down there, tracking it against the sunlight, but making sure he gets under it and completes the catch. 40/5
    7.5 Kamindu Mendis is gone! They just can't get power into these shotst. This was length on the stumps, that Kamindu gets across and tries to flick over square leg. Doesn't clear the boundary though. Doesn't even get close. The fielder there takes a simple catch, about 10 metres in from the rope. He was hitting ot the longer side. 31/2
    8.2 gone! Hasaranga down the track to Maharaj straight away trying to bash this one down the ground. But he doesn't get to the pitch of the ball, and although there's not much turn, there's enough to take it away from his shot, and QdK flicks the bails off before Hasaranga can make an attempt at returning to the crease. South Africa are bossing this! Hasaranga's promotion has not worked. 32/3
    8.3 two in two! Sri Lanka are falling apart. This was not necessarily a great ball, and not even an aggressive shot. This is a quickish delivery headed towards off, and Sadeera, without a lot of foot movement, tries to squirt this through off. He lets the ball slip between bat and pad though, and it clatters into off. Uff, Sri Lanka are struggling bad. 32/4
    11.2 Flicked and straight to the man in the deep! Just like Kamindu earlier, Asalanka whips this off the pads. Catches it cleanly but it's right down Hendrick's throat at deep square leg. Sri Lanka are down for the count 45/6
    15.4 And now Sri Lanka's last bastion of hope also perishes! This was shorter and quicker, rushes Mathews on the hook. Top edged and it's straight to Baartman at fine leg 70/8
    14.4 Swings and misses! This was quick and straight, Shanaka makes room and swings big, but he misses all ends up and Rabada hits - smack dab into the middle of middle 68/7

    17.2 Top edge and taken easily at mid-on! This was full on middle and leg, Pathirana gets a leading edge as he looks to work it onside. Ends up going high but not very far. Sri Lanka are 9 down 71/9
    19.1 full on off, mistimed heave down the ground. They look to run two, but mid-off running back sends in a gun throw and Thushara is well short. Sri Lanka are bowled out for 77, it's their lowest ever T20I score 77/10

    10.5 And the captain strikes! This one is tossed up but just stops in the surface. De Kock pushes at it on the front foot and only manages to chip back a gentle catch to Hasaranga 51/3
    1.3 Thushara gets a Test-style wicket off a Test match length. This was in the corridor, length ball, a little wide of off, but - vitally - swinging away. Hendricks pushes at it, gets an edge, and first slip gobbles it up. Finally a little joy for Sri Lanka. Thushara's job is to give new-ball wickets and he's delivered one. 10/1
    4.2 is that out? Shanaka squares Markram up and Kamindu Mendis has taken an outstanding slip catch. This is fullish, pitching on the stumps, seaming away and Markram, who is trying to flick through midwicket, gets an outside edge to it. It's dying desperately on Kamindu who is at about second slip, but he gets fingers underneath it and completes the catch comfortably. Sri Lanka still think they are in this. 23/2
    12.5 Scorcher at short cover! My word! This was tossed up on off and Stubbs cracks the leather off this. But Asalanka grabs this nice and low to his left two-handed, with some outstanding reactions 58/4
