Kushansri: "This is SA's lowest total against Sri Lanka." -- Yup. Their previous lowest was 168, in that historic Durban Test of 2011, which Sri Lanka won thanks to Samaraweera, Sangakkara, Welegedara, and that man Herath.

Ramalan Eisa: "Credit goes Chaminda Vaas who trained Lakmal & Co during his period as bowling coach."

1.52pm Sri Lanka have secured a 161-run first-innings lead. The spinners bowled the bulk of the overs, and Dilruwan picked up a well-deserved four-for, but Lakmal's done his bit too, finding movement both ways with the old ball to pick up three quick wickets, including that of the opposition captain. An excellent performance from Sri Lanka, and they'll want to come back out now and extend their advantage as far as possible. So much time left in this game.

Lakmal to Steyn, OUT, and that is it. Length ball close to off stump, straightens slightly. Steyn clears his front leg and goes for a big hoick, and only manages to send a thick edge to first slip

Lakmal to Steyn, no run, ooh. This one's just back of a length, and it angles in and straightens juuuuust outside off stump. Steyn jabs at it with no footwork, and the ball beats his outside edge

Lakmal to Steyn, no run, length ball on off stump, punched into the covers

Avidhital: "Lakmal is much better bowler than what his Test average suggests." -- Yup. He had a slow start, but he's been brilliant over the last two-three years
