    Hashim Amla has started walking back to the pavilion.

    There's no bat...

  3. South Africa reviewpublished at 17:03 British Summer Time 28 June 2019

    Hashim Amla has been given out lbw but he's decided to send it upstairs.

  4. SA 166-1published at 30.5 overs

    It's going to have to stay at the second-highest because South Africa don't need enough for it to overtake Warner & Khawaja.

  5. How's stat?!published at 17:02 British Summer Time 28 June 2019

    This is now the second-highest 2nd wicket partnership of this World Cup - top spot is held by Warner & Khawaja (192 v Bangladesh).

  6. SA 162-1published at 30.1 overs

    Hashim Amla decides to have a little paddle at Jeevan Mendis and picks up three towards fine leg, with Faf du Plessis running to the danger end.

    I sense Faf du Plessis is trying to win this game as quickly as possible, rather than drag it out until the 40th over.

  8. SA 159-1published at 30 overs

    Amla 65, du Plessis 65

    Five singles send South Africa closer to their target of 204.

    Someone should have told Dimuth Karunaratne that stat earlier.

    Thisara Perera replaces Suranga Lakmal.

  10. How's stat?!published at 16:57 British Summer Time 28 June 2019

    Thisara Perera has dismissed Faf du Plessis five times in ODI cricket; the most of any bowler.

    I've only been in from school for 30 minutes and I'm bored already. Can SA hurry up and get it done, I need to cook my children's dinner?

    Sri Lanka will head back to the team hotel and realise they didn't do themselves justice. After that victory against England, it's fizzled out for them.

  14. SA 154-1published at 29 overs

    Jeevan Mendis replaces Dhananjaya de Silva but it doesn't bring a change in luck for Sri Lanka.

    Five runs - four off the bat and a wide - are added to the total.

    David Emanuel: From England's perspective, it's a pity that the Proteas could not perform this well against Pakistan or Bangladesh.

  16. SA 149-1published at 28 overs

    Expensive over from Suranga Lakmal with 13 runs coming from it.

    South Africa need 55 more from 22 overs.

    All of a sudden, Faf du Plessis looks like a weight has been lifted off his shoulders.

  18. SA 148-1published at 27.3 overs

    Emphatic from Faf du Plessis.

    It's that floaty nothing sort of length from Suranga Lakmal and Faf just crunches him to the mid-wicket fence.
