W
Marco Jansen to Kusal Mendis, out Caught by Verreynne!! That should be the end of Sri Lanka's resistance. It's a rising short of length and angling in to the fifth-stump line, Kusal Mendis could have left that if he wanted to, but looks to defend and the outside-edge settles nicely in Verreynne's gloves. Just a weak fiddle and that's a ten-fer for Marco Jansen in the game. First time he has done that in his Test career. He is punching the air in delight. South Africa just a wicket away now. Kusal Mendis c Verreynne b Marco Jansen 48(77) [4s-9]
