Dimuth Karunaratne 30(59)

19.6
W
Philander to Karunaratne, out Lbw!! Another I0$ and this time umpire Richard Kettleborough raises the finger. Much fuller from Philander on this occasion. Legal delivery. Karunaratne missed the flick and got hit on the back leg. Perhaps, it brushed the front leg before hitting the back pad. Umpire's call on hitting wickets, and Karunaratne has to depart. This is a big wicket! A pitched up delivery and Karunaratne slightly lost his balance as he tried to flick it away. Got beaten by the in-seam and the impact was adjacent to the leg-stump. The ball-tracking showed it to be clipping leg. Sri Lanka don't lose a review, but they've lost their skipper. Karunaratne lbw b Philander 30(59) [4s-3]
19.5
Philander to Karunaratne, no run, a #celebrappeal (celebrates and then appeals) from Philander, Richard Kettleborough shakes his head in denial. The bowler persuades his skipper to go upstairs. South Africa have challenged an lbw call against Karunaratne. Is that a legal delivery? Tight one. Is there any part of the boot behind the line? Ian Gould reckons it's a fair delivery. Missed the inside edge and rapped Karunaratne on the back pad. Surely no bat. Going over the stumps. South Africa lose a review. Poor review from the hosts. The impact was on the thigh pad and height was always going to be a factor. The ball seamed in from a short of length and beat Karunaratne's defence

2.6
Steyn to Thirimanne, no run, extra bounce again, Thirimanne takes his bottom hand off in his defence, the ball rolls into the off-side off the handle I suppose
2.3
4

4
