Ha ! Can watch cricket virtually round the clock it seems...just need someone playing in West Indies , eh ?

Wife might take a dim view of such monopolisation of the TV though

[mikesiva]

Good start by the Saffer pacers. Sri Lanka three down at lunch.

Karu and the two Kusals out cheaply.

That's one of the bonuses of retirement!

[Arthur Crabtree]

Big stand building for Chandimal and Dhananjaya.

[mikesiva]

Dhananjaya retired hurt on 79.

Chandimal out for 85.

Dickwella out for 49.

Mulder with three wickets so far.

[alfie]

Pretty good recovery by Sri Lanka. Even with the injury to Dananjaya which curtailed his knock on 79...... They've got to 296 - though even as I type Dickwella has gone so five down.

New ball due in ten so SA might fancy wrapping things up soonish but they will still have a decent total. Mulder has done a good job for SA with three of the wickets.
SA have been a bit generous with the extras...27 of 'em so far.
