Sri Lanka sees through tough morning session to reach 220/6
Sri Lanka reached 220/6 at lunch on the fourth morning, adding 117 runs for the loss of just one wicket. Dhananjaya de Silva was the only successful bowler, getting Dhananjaya de Silva caught at midwicket.
Dinesh Chandimal, unbeaten on 69, and de Silva started the day in a stoic manner, offering tight defences and not following the misbehaving ball. The two brought up the fifty-run partnership in the 15th over of the day, with both batters bringing up their individual fifties soon after.
Brief scores: South Africa 191 & 366/5d lead Sri Lanka 42 & 220/6 (Chandimal 69, de Silva 59; Jansen 2-45, Rabada 2-65) by 296 runs
