Asitha Fernando, who with his first ball of the morning had got the wicket of Tony de Zorzi. They then pushed a few men back on the leg-side boundary and proceeded to try a bit of short-pitched bowling against Bavuma.In the first Test in Durban, Sri Lanka had bowled a few at Bavuma in the Proteas' first innings, but were denied a wicket when the Proteas captained gloved the ball to the wicket-keeper following a front-foot no-ball.
Bavama went at one of the first balls of the over, but it fell short of the fine-leg fielder on the boundary. He again got inside the line and went at a few more shot balls, before one eventually connected with his glove and he was caught behind by wicket-keeper Kushal Mendis. Bavuma was well set for another big score after sharing a 133-run stand with Rickelton. He is going to be bitterly disappointed, because first-innings runs is going to be key on a wicket, which already looks a lot dryer than it was in the morning because of the strong wind.
Rickelton , on the other hand, is still at the crease and will be hoping to bat until the end of the days play and notch up a first Test century, which will make it hard for him to be dropped for the upcoming series against Pakistan.
