6.21pm As a bit of drizzle comes down at the ground, the two teams make their back in for dinner. Mathews made 79, Dickwella made 69, but the third-highest Sri Lankan score is 19. That means it's advantage South Africa at the break, but they'll have to play some smart cricket on a pitch that's slightly tricky. And who knows, it if rains, DLS could make things very interesting. Catch you on the other side, in around 30 mins or so for the chase.

Rabada to NGRP Jayasuriya, 1 run, follows the batsman, and perhaps, hits him in the arm. No, came off the bat's handle. Jayasuriya backed away to the leg side and Rabada followed him with a short ball outside leg

Rabada to Mathews, no run, yorker wide outside off, but Mathews sticks his bat out and runs this down to third man near the boundary. Single available, but he says no. Hmm...

Rabada to Mathews, no run, yorker on middle, and he digs this away to short fine leg. Not much you can do with a delivery like that
Can SL go past 250?

Phehlukwayo to NGRP Jayasuriya, FOUR, ridiculous shot! Jayasuriya goes really wide outside off stump, and the bowler followed him with a low full toss. But Jayasuriya swivels, goers down on one knee, and ramps it excellently over short fine leg to the boundary. Duminy did manage to stop the ball in the deep, but a misfield there ensures Sri Lanka end the 49th with a boundary
Oliver May: "England fan following during the Lunch break at Edgebaston. Cannot believe people on here are criticising Mathews! Only two SL players have got past 20... and Mathews has held the innings together when needed. All out for 150 without him. "
