Sri Lanka fights back with 205-5 in chase of 348 in 2nd Test vs Proteas

South Africa had Sri Lanka on the rack at 205-5 in a chase of 348 on the fourth day of the second test at St George's Park on Sunday. Medium-pacer Dane Paterson and spinner Keshav Maharaj took two wickets each after fast bowler Kagiso Rabada started prising out Sri Lankans by pinning opener Dimuth Karunaratne while he was playing defense in the third over. Captain Dhananjaya de Silva and Kusal Mendis took up Sri Lanka's counterattack from 122-5 in an unbeaten partnership of 83 runs. De Silva and Kusal Mendis, both 39 not out, ensured a fifth day of play but the odds remained in favor of South Africa winning the series 2-0. They are the last recognized batsmen, and the highest successful run chase at the ground was 271 by Australia 27 years ago. Karunaratne's innings came to a familiar end. He's scored 2, 4, 20 and 1 in the series and been dismissed by Rabada all four times. Rabada and Paterson were coming around the wicket and causing doubt. The batters saw enough bad balls to re

Nissanka shines as Sri Lanka respond strongly to Verreynne's century

Opener Pathum Nissanka led Sri Lanka to 242-3 in reply to South Africa's bonus 358 on day two Friday of the second test at St George's Park. Nissanka's 89, his seventh test fifty behind two centuries, easily shone in a steady effort by the top order to reduce the deficit to 116 runs by stumps. Unbeaten in the middle were Angelo Mathews, on 40 after becoming the third Sri Lankan man to pass 8,000 test runs, and Kamindu Mendis, on 30. South Africa started the day on 269-7 and Kyle Verreynne on 48. The prospect of reaching 300 looked difficult with the tail exposed and Sri Lanka brandishing the second new ball. But Verreynne was brilliantly supported by fast bowlers Kagiso Rabada and Dane Paterson to get the Proteas to a competitive 358, of which an unbeaten 105 was his.
