Find all live updates from the second Test match between Sri Lanka and South Africa in Colombo on Cricketnext.com Day 2 Round-up: Keshav Maharaj returned the second The best numbers of a South African bowling player at the time of the day. a test run, but Sri Lanka took a step toward a 2-0 run after dominating the second day of the second and final test on Saturday. Weaknesses in South Africa's rotation were unveiled once again as tourists collapsed for 124 to concede an early lead in the 214 races at the Sinhalese Sports Club Ground in Colombo. Sri Lanka, who made 338 in the first innings, was 151-3 on the strains after deciding not to impose follow-up against tourists who are now looking at the possibility of a second test defeat in three days . Dimuth Karunaratne was beating on 59 to strains, his fourth successive hit of more than 50 in the series, with Angelo Mathews on 12 at the other end. For South Africa, left arm Maharaj brought back his match-box to 11 wickets, but his team was in a desperate situation. Akila Dananjaya and Rangana Herath took the lead of South Africa with a 74-point score for the last wicket before Maharaj struck in the 37th minute. Dananjaya remained undefeated 43 times. He is the second best of a South African in the tests, behind only 9-113 of Hugh Tayfield against England in 1957, but his success has brought little joy to a side battling their own vulnerabilities of spin. Herath and Dananjaya (5-42) came back from the break of the innings to harm South Africa with the new ball, reducing walking tourists to 15 for three. Dilruwan Perera (4-40) then joined the rout while South Africa lost the 10 wickets for Sri Lankan spinners. Faf du Plessis (48) and Quinton de Kock (32) counter-attacked but it was not enough because the tourists did not manage to reach the 150 points of the series.

We are ready for the game. The players are in the middle. Keshav Maharaj starts the procedure with the ball. Dimuth Karunaratne and Angelo Mathews continue with the bat. Here we go …
Height ratio – Shaun Pollock and Kepler Wessels report from the middle. They say that the ground is still dry, the dust comes off the surface when the ball lands and this will help the spinners more than the fast player. Kepler says that Sri Lankan spinners will be eager to play on this track and that the shot will be difficult. Pollock ends up saying that if nothing works, scanning will be the best option.
Hello and welcome to the third day of the second and final test match between Sri Lanka and South Africa at Sinhalese Sports Club, Colombo. The home team is at the top. He crossed the Proteas line-up on day 2 and extended his dominance with more races on the board. The lead has inflated up to 365 points, which is more than practical. The interesting thing now is to see when will they declare and put South Africa to the bat. There are two more days left in this test, but maybe we should not need it considering the current state of the field. The piece starts in a short time, drags!
… Day 3, Session 1 …
That's all of us day 2. Will there be a 4 day in this test remains to be seen! But the third day is certain. You can join what starts at 1000 local (0430 GMT). Enjoy your weekend, applause!
All is Sri Lanka for the moment. If they had imposed follow-up, maybe the match would have ended early on Day 3. South Africa will have to try to find a way to bring the hosts together and fight at least in theirs. last innings. Looking at how they beat throughout the series, it looks like there is not a lot of possibilities for them.
The technique of "how to play on these sub-continental lands" will have to be solved by the South African Batters. It took only 34.5 overs for the home team to take them all out. Akila Dananjaya picked up her second 5-wicket and Dilruwan Perera gave her a good company by taking 4 wickets. For the visitors, only their skipper Faf du Plessis and goalkeeper Quinton Kock showed some intention with the bat. The others were mentally unprepared because there were only fifty people. Earlier in the day, Rangana Herath and Akila Dananjaya scored 74 points for the last wicket and raised their team total to 338.
If it's not the first, the second day is surely won by Sri Lanka. They outperformed the visitors in all departments to get more benefit in this game. The openers gave them once again the starting point. Dimuth Karunaratne, who became only the fourth Sri Lankan to win the five fifties in every round of Test, shows a bit of character. Kusal Mendis was eliminated but former captain Angelo Mathews made Sri Lanka slip no further.

28.4 K Maharaj in Mendis, OUT! A counter against the course of the game. The poor communication between the batters and Mendis is well below its mark.

They jog for the first, complete the second and suddenly, they think that they can get the third inning too. However, Kusal is then dismissed by his partner in his stride. Markram in the depths throws the ball to the keeper after cleaning the fence. De Kock extends his arm to dislodge the bullets. The referee takes it upstairs and even a dive can not save Mendis. Sri Lanka loses its third wicket but it should not bother him too much because he is already driving. 136/3

De Silva goes down again, trying to work on the other side. The ball turns and hits Silva on his back leg. A strong call from the bowler but the referee remains on the spot.
