South Africa dominated the second day of the first Test against Sri Lanka, dismissing them for a record low of 42 at Kingsmead in Durban. This followed a first innings of 191, turning a 149-run lead into a 281-run lead by the end of the day. Marco Jansen took an impressive 7-13 in the second innings.
The Proteas dominated an extraordinary second day of the first test in which 19 wickets fell, dismissing Sri Lanka for a record low of 42 at a sunny, blustery day at Kingsmead in Durban on Thursday.
The pair have so far added 43 off 92 balls for the fourth wicket in the late afternoon sunshine in an almost serenely calm partnership that contrasted markedly with the feverish events that took place in the afternoon. Sri Lanka struck early through their fastest bowler, Lahiru Kumara, whose pace was consistently in the 140s as he opened with some venom.
South Africa’s premier spinner was tempted once too often, however, as he tamely holed out to wide mid-off off paceman Vishwa Fernando for a bright 24 in 35 balls. But well though he bowled on a bouncy, pacey Kingsmead pitch, he will probably never receive so much help from the batters.The Sri Lankan blood began to flow in the third over, delivered by Rabada, when Dimuth Karunaratne fenced at one outside the off stump, edging to David Bedingham at first slip who took a fine low catch.
