    Can Sri Lanka get 10 runs from this over?

  5. SL 134-8

    Dwaine Pretorius ends with 3-17 from his three overs - including the key wicket of Nissanka.

    That is the one South Africa really wanted.

    It was an excellent innings from Nissanka.

    Sri Lanka's spinners will be excited to bowl on this wicket. It is an exciting position to be in but they will think they should have got back to 145.

    Nissanka c Nortje b Pretorius 72 (SL 131-8)

    A fine innings from Pathum Nissanka is finally over!

    It is a slower ball from Dwaine Pretorius and Nissanka can't quite time the pull into the onside and Nortje takes the catch on the midwicket boundary.

    When teams batting first have scored under 140 in this tournament they have lost every one.

    WICKET

    Karunaratne c van der Dussen b Pretorius (SL 131-7)

    Dwaine Pretorius is sticking with his wide offside line and Chamika Karunaratne tries to drag him high into the onside.

    He's unsuccessful though as van der Dussen comes in from the long-on boundary to take a smart catch.

  11. How's stat?!

    This is Nissanka's highest score in T20 internationals.

  12. Alex Hartley
    England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    Because the pitch is slow the bouncer doesn't get up as much as Rabada is expecting. Nissanka could hook it for four.

  13. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    I tell you what... Nissanka is playing well here.

  14. SL 129-6

    Shot!

    Back-to-back fours from Pathum Nissanka, the second a lovely drive through extra cover.

    He moves onto 72.

  15. 6 runs

    SL 119-6

    That will help! Pathum Nissanka is onto Kagiso Rabada's delivery in a flash as he clubs it over long-on for a six.

  16. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    Of the 12 teams in this tournament, Sri Lanka, in the last three years, are the slowest-scoring team.

  17. SL 112-6

    South Africa continuing to take wickets at crucial moments to stem Sri Lanka's momentum. Youd think Pathum Nissanka needs to stay for the duration if they are to reach a decent total.

  18. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    Rabada has had a good day in the field.

  19. wicket

    WICKET

    Shanaka c Rabada b Pretorius (SL 110-6)

    South Africa respond!

    Shanaka attempts to slog Pretorius into the offside but he can only pick out Kagiso Rabada on the cover boundary who takes a smart catch.

    This planned worked in the last over but when you become predictable you really have to change your plan.
