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 :)

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!

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.
