De Silva c sub (Phehlukwayo) b Maharaj 11 (SL 150-5)
Dhananjaya de Silva backs away and slices left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj to substitute fielder Andile Phehlukwayo at point who takes a fine low catch.
Sri Lanka will need something quite special from here.
SL 150-4published at 20 overs
Charith Asalanka it outfoxed by a slower ball from Gerald Coetzee but the Sri Lanka batter still manages to get sufficient power on a hoick to cow corner for four.
The next ball Asalanka plonks does get hold of it and plonks a six on top of an ambulance over the boundary. That was a big 'un.

Close but no cigar. Dhananjaya de Silva just manages to drag his toe back behind the line. He survives.

BBC Test Match Special commentatorIt was really well taken from Klaasen. It was a very rapid bit of glovework. The ball turned a bit.
Umpire reviewpublished at 18.1 overs
Dhananjaya de Silva attempts to sweep Keshav Maharaj, but the ball grips and spins sharply away from his swipe.
Heinrich Klaasen whips off the bails. Has De Silva got his foot behind the line? The umpires will take a quick look.

Gerald Coetzee is going through his repertoire of deliveries.
Charith Asalanka and Dhananjaya de Silva knock the South African seamer into the gaps, happy to knock it around for ones and twos initially.
Coetzee finishes with a short ball to Asalanka who whips him over the square leg boundary for six.

Keshav Maharaj rattles through an over of left-arm spin. Just two runs off it as Charith Asalanka and Dhananjaya de Silva start to treat this as a bit of a net.
Meanwhile, if you missed any of Kusal Mendis' spectacular hitting earlier, here's the best of it.
SL 121-4published at 16 overs
South Africa have really stymied the Sri Lanka run-rate with those wickets.
Gerald Coetzee, black headband wrapped around his forehead, concedes just one run off his second over. He has 1-4.
Here's how Coetzee removed Sadeera Samarawickrama a few moments ago.

Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialI love to see a team come out and give it a red hot go. It's always a shame to see a team go out with a whimper and go into their next game with no confidence.

Sri Lanka are likely to run out of batters attempting to chase down this mammoth total by the looks of it.
The left-handed Charith Asalanka gets himself up and running with a boundary off Kagiso Rabada, whipping him through mid-wicket for four.
Here's how Kusal Mendis' brilliant knock was brought to and end.

Samarawickrama c Jansen b Coetzee 23 (SL 111-4)
But alas, Sadeera Samarawickrama is also on his way to the pavilion as Gerald Coetzee strikes with his second ball.
The Sri Lanka batter was attempting to work it and gets a lead edge, but Marco Jansen still has plenty to do at mid-on. He is able slide on his knees and get underneath it to pouch the catch.
Coetzee roars in celebration.

Sadeera Samarawickrama has also been going big against South Africa as they attempt to chase down this huge total.

Former Sri Lanka all-rounder on BBC Test Match SpecialWonderful strokeplay from Mendis, he started with a couple of crisp drives down the ground like Markram before he started lifting the ball into the stands.

BBC Sport in DelhiThat might be the longest I’ve seen a batter wait at the crease before dragging himself off. Kusal Mendis is gutted. A sensational knock.

Mendis c Klaasen b Rabada 76
The curtain comes down on Kusal Mendis six-hitting show.
He is slightly late on a straight-ish delivery from Kagiso Rabada which climbs into him, and with a flash of the blade, he edges the ball into the gloves of stand-in wicketkeeper Heinrich Klaasen.
SL 109-2published at 12.3 overs
Here's another of Kusal Mendis' eight sixes from a little while ago.
