Sri Lanka in South Africa

Striker
1st Test in Durban

Saffers 258 all out
Lanka 180-8

Showing a lot of bottle here, toughing it out from 90-5. But the Sri Lankans started farming the strike from their number 9 bat. :D

Is it me or are they massively bowler friendly pitches over there?

Bit of everything and there was swing in the air.

Lankan left arm spinner looked very decent on debut.

Lanka will chase 304 with no time pressure. Unlikely with this batting line up v this attack, but will be interesting.

206-5 and going nicely, and Sri Lanka have just been cheated.

Ultraedge clearly not lined up right and the spike was a couple of frames after it passed the bat, given out leg before (Nothing on Ultraedge when it thudded into the pad, for the same reason).

Now 7 down.

Shame they couldn't have put another 20-30 on for that 6th wicket, this could have got very tasty.

Yep would have probably won by now, Perera playing a special innings here mind
 
Incredible test match here. Great performance from Sri Lanka, amazing that they can do this when the only reason England whitewashed them was because they're crap, or so I read on here.
