RSA Vs SL, 1st Test: Jansen's Seven-For Rips Through Sri Lanka

South Africa led Sri Lanka by 281 runs in the first cricket test at Kingsmead by the end of a dramatic second day in which 19 wickets fell on Thursday. Sri Lanka appeared to be in control at lunch after South Africa was bowled out for a seemingly pitiful 191. But in the next 83 legal deliveries — 13.5 overs — Sri Lanka was routed for 42, its worst total in test history. Just how badly Sri Lanka used a batter-friendly pitch, and how brilliantly medium-pacer Marco Jansen bowled for a career best 7-13, was starkly illustrated again when South Africa라이브 바카라 second innings reached 132-3 at stumps.
