*Official* South Africa Tour of Sri Lanka 2018

That's the end of both Sandakan, and the innings.
He has such a long name (Paththamperuma Arachchige Don Lakshan Rangika Sandakan), it looked like we would never see the end of it.

Dimuth Karunaratne carries his bat; well done! You have expiated the sin of running TPC out.

Absolutely brilliant knock by Karunaratne, could be a match-winning one.

Dimuth is quite gun these days they missed him terribly in Windies. Argubaly him and Mendis are the two best players in the team

Geez I know they should be favourites playing at home and all, but if Lankans overturn SA here that's actually a big result for them. Good first day.

Would love to know how long it's been since we got that much out of the last two pairs, our tail tends to fold pretty quickly.
I reckon the saffers are on the back foot a bit here, will feel they've blown a potential chance while SL have enough runs on the board to grind out the wickets tomorrow

I sure will be sorry to see this TPC hang up his boots.

Faf is a pretty ordinary captain, isn't he? No tactical acumen at all.

Friend of mine Captain Hindsight has never lost a game. Scored 15 000 runs and has taken 500 wickets

South Africa pretty much regards tactical acumen as a character flaw in a captain because it interferes with the ability to be bull headed. This is a country that gave Kepler Wessels the captaincy. Faf is tactically better than most they've produced, and not bad by international standards.

Shouldn't have waited for the new ball, after seeing that Sandakan was reading and playing spin quite comfortably. Should have brought in a quick from one end.
