    If Isuru Udana gets any further to the leg side, he'll be trampling all over umpire Rod Tucker at square leg.

  2. SL 192-8published at 47.3 overs

    Isuru Udana is just moving to leg and having an almighty heave now.

    He moves so far to leg this time the ball misses leg stump by a good five-six inches as he again fails to connect with his attempted drive.

    Isuru Udana couldn't believe he'd missed out on that!

  4. SL 192-8published at 47.1 overs

    Isuru Udana has just let out a massive yelp of anguish after missing with a booming drive.

    Gavin Smith: Phehlukwayo has been so disappointing this World Cup. I had such high hopes for him.

  6. SL 192-8published at 47 overs

    Isuru Udana crunches a cut shot straight to backward point before having an almighty swipe at a slower ball.

    The final ball is a well-directed bouncer and he drops it off the top of the bat into the on-side and they scamper a single.

    There's no point in Sri Lanka limping to their end of their innings. If they do then they don't have any momentum. Hit some boundaries!

  8. SL 191-8published at 46.3 overs

    Oohh that took off a bit. Kagiso Rabada digs one into the pitch and it rises off a length slightly and Suranga Lakmal does well to play it down into the on-side for a single.

    Isuru Udana has a woft at the next ball before chipping over Faf du Plessis at mid-off for a couple.

    The way South Africa have been in this tournament I can see them messing this up.

    The lowest total after the complete 50 overs at this World Cup was India's 224-8 against Afghanistan, which did lead to a win.

    Shot!

    Isuru Udana gives himself some room and slots through extra cover for his first boundary. That was glorious.

    Outstanding catch. Great athleticism. It's a long boundary and in the end, he caught it comfortably. It's unusual to see Thisara Perera go through 25 deliveries and not hit a boundary.

    Kagiso Rabada did misread that catch a little bit but he put his body on the line by diving forwards.

    Thisara Perera c Rabada b Phehlukwayo 21 (SL 184-8)

    Gone!

    A hoick into the leg side by Thisara Perera isn't timed and Kagiso Rabada misjudges it slightly but does well to take a low tumbling catch at deep square leg.

    Even from this distance, you know if it's a catch. It is out.

  16. Umpire reviewpublished at 45.3 overs

    South Africa and Kagiso Rabada think they've got Thisara Perera caught at deep square-leg.

    The umpires are just going to check the catch to be safe, but it looks out.

    Soft signal is out.

    Imran Tahir is ninth in all-time World Cup wicket-taker list with 39 wickets - he overtook Allan Donald to become the top South African. In this tournament, he's in eighth place.

  18. SL 182-7published at 45 overs

    Imran Tahir is done for the day and finishes with figures of 0-36 from his 10 overs.

    That's the first time - in 16 innings - he's not taken a wicket in an ODI against Sri Lanka.

    A huge hit from Jeevan Mendis.

    Was soon followed by his departure.

  20. SL 179-7published at 44 overs

    Sri Lanka help themselves to five runs off Andile Phehlukwayo's seventh over.

    TMS spent the whole over discussing how you say the pace bowlers name, that's how pedestrian this innings has become.

    The last boundary was five and a half overs ago.
