1st Test: Sri Lanka v South Africa

Sri Lanka get their first of the morning. Steyn bowled by Lakmal. 290 for 6. Still Duminy and Philander to come

Since SA have already gone past the 400 mark...JP Duminy needs to hit out now.As an SA fan I really hope we can get Sanga and Mahela out quickly when they bat...
Philander and steyn can pose questions later.

455 - 9 DECLARED

JP 100* 

Elgar 103, FaF 80 , de Kock 51

A stubborn Vernon Philander scored 27 and shared a 75-run partnership with JP Duminy;

that took the score close to 400

Vernon apologise for not being in a Jamaica Tallawah uniform today  ::LOL::

                                   

Lanka were thwarted further when Morne Morkel combined with Duminy for a 66-run ninth-wicket stand

                             

30 without loss after 12 overs

Tharanga 20*

27.45---Philander's batting average

14.26---Steyn

11.96---Morkel

* Those blokes are no rabbits with the bat and could frustrate bowlers when they put their minds to batting.
