The day two of the second Test between Sri Lanka and South Africa concluded with the visitors putting up an impressive 455 runs at Galle International Stadium.

South Africa's batting finally ended with J.P. Duminy notching up his fourth Test hundred, as he remained unbeaten.

Dean Elgar smashed a century before Sri Lanka pinned the visitors back claiming four important wickets late on the opening day of the first Test in Galle on Wednesday

Sri Lanka went in to bat late on the second day and managed to come out without the loss of a wicket. The hosts currently trail by 425 runs.

 

The match will resume on Friday and Sri Lankan batsmen will face the likes of Dale Steyn and Imran Tahir, who would relish bowling on a crumbling pitch.
