52.6
W
Lasith Embuldeniya to de Kock, out Lbw!! Waste of a review, but South Africa are that sort of a position where they need not worry about saving reviews. Flighted delivery pitching in line, disturbs the surface and turns square, de Kock goes back to defend, but the ball doesn't bounce much because it hit a rough patch, the ball sneaks past the bat and thuds him in front of off stump, HawkEye shows ball crashing into middle stump and that eats up a review. Lasith Embuldeniya comes on and strikes second over. Should have bowled before de Silva in the morning. de Kock lbw b Lasith Embuldeniya 55(62) [4s-6]
