"It was always a long shot that Sri Lanka would retain their trophy, but not much has gone right for them in this tournament."

Rangana Herath needed to do something special for Sri Lanka to have any chance tonight, and he hasn't managed it. He completes another wicketless over. In the dugout, AB de Villiers is nattering away on a walkie-talkie. "Hashim, do you read me? Nothing silly, I've got my feet up here. Over and out."

Here's a video showing you Suranga Lakmal's surprisingly short strides...

"Thirimanne's had a horrible day. He got a first-ball duck when he missed a relatively straight ball, and now he's gone in the leg. He's not getting much sympathy, I think the rest of the fielders want to just get on with the game and get it over with!"

More mixology from Chandimal as he turns to bowler number six, Thisara Perera. Thirimanne's bad day continues as he pops a hamstring. Poor old Lahiru's incurred some bad karma from somewhere. Did he sabotage Lakmal's trousers? He hobbles off the field helped by the Sri Lanka physios.

"Shane Watson said he decided to retire from internationals when he was up in the hills in Dharamsala and thought the time was right. I made my decision when I was in Streatham and I got a call about fitness testing. I thought I didn't have another one left in me, so I said 'I'm out!'"

Du Plessis is opening up the throttle here. First he hammers Vandersay through extra cover, then he reaches out in front of his body and paddles him hard to the square-leg boundary. South Africa as comfortable as velour sweatpants here.

"Cricket-wise, this has been a really interesting tournament, with some low-scoring tussles as well as some big-scoring games."

Chandimal is trying to keep the batsmen guessing here by mixing up his spinners - Herath is back. Du Plessis fetches one from outside off, sweeps hard, and Thirimanne, who was bowled first ball earlier, lets it slip under his body. Not a good day at the office.

"Great placement from Amla. He just sat a little deep in the crease, almost turning a full ball into a half-volley."

More Vandersay. Amla larrups a drive to cover for two.

"The win predictor has South Africa 99% likely to win. It had England 100% likely to win at one point in their game against Afghanistan, but I'm not sure any game is a 100% win, unless you get down to 11 needed from the last ball. Just ask Bangladesh."

Another bowling change sees Dasun Chanaka enter the attack. Did his parents name him after their favourite Japanese car brand? South Africa content just to take four off it, they're cruising here, like a Datsun on the freeway.

"It's the most lush outfield I've seen at this tournament. Vandersay has done a good job there, only going for two off his first over. Five wickets in that last innings went to spin, so there's a bit of grip in there for the spinners, but Sri Lanka still have a lot to do."

Jeffrey Vandersay comes into the attack, or to give him his full name, Jeffrey Dexter Francis Vandersay. Old school. Tidy over, just two singles from it.

Oh, delightful from Amla, stroking Herath off his legs with a silk-wristed shot that races away for four. Ship well and truly steadied for South Africa.

"He hit that very, very hard. It just popped out of the fielder's hands."
