South Africa vs Sri Lanka, 2nd Test - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

The end is nearing for Sri Lanka. And today, unless we witness one of the most spirited fightbacks of all time, South Africa will be clinching the series by a comfortable margin. They are completely on top of the game after setting the visitors a mammoth target of 507. They kept scoring the runs at a brisk pace on the third day to extend their lead even though wickets were also falling at the other end.

Eventually, Faf du Plessis decided to declare after his side took the lead past the 500-run mark. And this time, there was no resistance from the Sri Lankan openers as Dimuth Karunaratne lost his leg stump. Vernon Philander dented them further in the final session by getting rid of Kusal Mendis before Kagiso Rabada took two in two overs. Angelo Mathews and Dinesh Chandimal put on 61 before stumps but the game will be literally over if one of them fall soon. Welcome to our live blog of the fourth day's play of the second Test.
