Vishwa Fernando walks in at number 9, replacing Dinesh Chandimal.

Gerald Coetzee to Dinesh Chandimal, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! South Africa find that breakthrough before the second new ball. Not the best of deliveries to be honest, but they will not care. Gerald Coetzee bowls it on a length, down the leg side and Dinesh Chandimal immediately looks to flick. But the ball holds on the surface a touch and the bat face gets closed early. As a result, a leading edge is induced and the ball goes straight back to Coetzee, who finally gets his second wicket. Does the 'Karate kid' celebration and is pumped now. Chandimal departs for a magnificent 83 and the Africans can sense a quick finish now. 3 wickets away from victory. Sri Lanka are 271/7, chasing 516.

Gerald Coetzee to Dinesh Chandimal, FOUR BYES! When the rub of the green goes your way, you see a lot of greenery in your way. Nothing was going for Sri Lanka on Friday but in a day, plenty has changed. Coetzee sprays this down the leg side, fuller in length and it is so far down the leg side that Chandimal cannot get bat on ball. The poor keeper dives to his left but cannot get there either.

Keshav Maharaj to Kusal Mendis, Almost a similar delivery, Mendis lunges to push the ball towards cover.

Keshav Maharaj to Dinesh Chandimal, Full, around off, Dinesh Chandimal defends.

One important thing, as mentioned by the on-air commentators during the Pakistan-England Test series earlier this year, players have stopped or forgotten to shine the old ball. As a result, there is not much sign of reverse swing, a potent weapon in the earlier days, when the ball used to get old.

Gerald Coetzee to Dinesh Chandimal, Slightly short of full, Chandimal looks to drive but the ball suddenly rears up after pitching. Takes the bottom edge and dies down on the pitch.

Gerald Coetzee to Kusal Mendis, Outside off, watchfully defended.

Gerald Coetzee to Dinesh Chandimal, Short and wide outside off, Dinesh Chandimal almost falls into the trap. He lashes a cut shot but does not keep it down. Nearly holes down the throat of Keshav Maharaj at deep point. A single taken.

This has become a trend now in many countries. The ball does something for the first 40 overs and then does absolutely nothing for the next 40. Players then just keep waiting for the ball to be changed. That's when batting gets easier. Maybe, England might be an exception, due to the conditions and the Dukes ball. Here is Gerald Coetzee now. 10-0-55-1 so far.

And seems like the Proteas are just waiting for the ball to be changed.

Marco Jansen to Kusal Mendis, Beautiful shot and an even better effort from Stubbs in the field! On a back of a length, on off, Kusal Mendis rocks back and punches it very late through the gap at gully. Tristan Stubbs chases the ball from slips and slides ahead to push it back in. Saves a run.
