Smith decides to go in for the second Power Play

10.1 Langeveldt to Jayasuriya, OUT, Got 'em. First ball of the over, wide of the stumps, good bounce and Jayasuriya lashes fiercely. He can't get the timing right and the ball flies off a thickish edge to Kallis at point, standing at the edge of the circle. Good bowling from Langeveldt after Pollock's poor spell. This is a huge wicket for South Africa

ST Jayasuriya c Kallis b Langeveldt 26 (27b 4x4 0x6) SR: 96.29

Kumar Sangakkara is the new man in

10.2 Langeveldt to Sangakkara, no run, slightly short, good healthy bounce and Sangakkara on the back foot defending it solidly

10.3 Langeveldt to Sangakkara, no run, Full ball outside off, Sangakkara on the front foot and drives to extra cover.

10.4 Langeveldt to Sangakkara, 1 run, Full ball on middle, swinging in. Langeveldt probing here. Sangakkara drives and scampers a quick single to mid-off

10.5 Langeveldt to Jayawardene, no run, Full ball outside off, punched to mid-off

10.6 Langeveldt to Jayawardene, FOUR, Shimmies down the track, gives himself some room and crashes it over the covers for a four. It was a short of a length delivery but he came down and met it on the half-volley. Clean strike from Jayawardene.

End of over 11 (5 runs) - Sri Lanka 50/2 (RR: 4.54)

11.1 Ntini to Sangakkara, no run, Ntini angling it away from the left-hander from over the wicket. Pitches on off and seams away alarmingly. Sangakkara can't reach it. Could have been a wide but umpire Harper decides against it

11.2 Ntini to Sangakkara, no run, That's quite unplayable. Similar angle from Ntini, pitched on off and moves away beautifully. Sangakkara pushes his bat defensively but is beaten all ends up.

That could have easily been edged to the eager slip cordon

11.3 Ntini to Sangakkara, no run, Slightly wide of off, left alone this time

11.4 Ntini to Sangakkara, 1 run, Straighter ball, turned away to midwicket for a quick single

11.5 Ntini to Jayawardene, no run, Straight and back of a length, cutting in. Jayawardene pats it to the on side but can't risk the single

11.6 Ntini to Jayawardene, no run, Full ball outside off, driven crisply to extra cover. No run again

End of over 12 (1 run) - Sri Lanka 51/2 (RR: 4.25)

12.1 Langeveldt to Sangakkara, no run, Play and a miss. Sanga flashes at a length-delivery outside off and is beaten

12.2 Langeveldt to Sangakkara, no run, similar line but Sanga is more cautious this time and lets it go through to the 'keeper

12.3 Langeveldt to Sangakkara, no run, short in length, around off stump, Sangakkara goes back, punches it to mid-off

12.4 Langeveldt to Sangakkara, no run, full, straight, skids on to the batsman who defends.

12.5 Langeveldt to Sangakkara, 1 run, fuller, outside off and square-driven straight to point where Gibbs misfields.

Ah! That's a surprise.

12.6 Langeveldt to Jayawardene, no run, strangling line around off stump, Mahela dabs it to the off side

End of over 13 (1 run) - Sri Lanka 52/2 (RR: 4.00)

13.1 Ntini to Sangakkara, 2 runs, clipped off the hips, past square-leg for couple of runs.

Sanga had said on the eve of the game."We want to knock them off the top perch and today's match in a neutral venue will be a great opportunity to see just where the two sides stand. They are certainly beatable, there is no doubt about that and we are confident of being able to put them under pressure."

13.2 Ntini to Sangakkara, no run, full and outside off, left alone

13.3 Ntini to Sangakkara, no run, around off stump, again angling away, Sangakkara opens the bat-face, steers to point

13.4 Ntini to Sangakkara, FOUR, nonchalantly pulled. Easy on the eye. Short in length, on the middle stump line and Sangakkara eased back to pull it behind square-leg

13.5 Ntini to Sangakkara, FOUR, And again. This time through the midwicket gap. Again short, but this one was outside off stump and Sangakkara pierces the midwicket gap.

13.6 Ntini to Sangakkara, no run, full in length, around off stump, pushed to the off side

End of over 14 (10 runs) - Sri Lanka 62/2 (RR: 4.42)

14.2 Langeveldt to Jayawardene, 1 no ball, Charge and a miss. Mahela rushes down the track and has a swing at a length-delivery outside off.

14.3 Langeveldt to Jayawardene, no run, fuller, hint of outswing, Mahela drives, covers for the swing, and drives back down the track

14.4 Langeveldt to Jayawardene, OUT, gotcha! Done in by that away movement. Full in length, on the middle and leg stump line, Mahela shapes to wrist it away to the on side, the ball straightens and takes the leading edge and pops up for de Villiers to hold a dolly at cover. South Africa are slowly taking control.

DPMD Jayawardene c de Villiers b Langeveldt 12 (31b 1x4 0x6) SR: 38.70

14.5 Langeveldt to Silva, no run, beaten Peach of a delivery. Langeveldt continues to trouble the batsmen by making the ball hold its line. Chamara Silva pushes at a length-delivery around off stump and is beaten.

14.6 Langeveldt to Silva, no run, further away from the off stump and left alone.

End of over 15 (3 runs) - Sri Lanka 65/3 (RR: 4.33)

3rd Powerplay taken.

15.1 Hall to Sangakkara, no run, Hall is greeted with a crisp cover drive but it's hit straight to cover. Hall, like Langeveldt, is a skiddy sort of a bowler.

15.2 Hall to Sangakkara, 2 runs, drifting on to the legs and flicked away to fine leg where Pollock moves to his right to make a tumbling stop

15.3 Hall to Sangakkara, 1 run, short in length, on the middle and leg stump line, worked to the on side.

15.4 Hall to Silva, 1 run, full and outside off stump, straightens after landing, Silva pushes at it, bat away from the body, and runs it down to third man

15.5 Hall to Sangakkara, no run, full in length, around off stump, Sanga leans forward to defend

15.6 Hall to Sangakkara, 2 runs, slips on to the legs, flicked away past square-leg

End of over 16 (6 runs) - Sri Lanka 71/3 (RR: 4.43)

16.1 Langeveldt to Silva, no run, well outside off, left alone.

16.2 Langeveldt to Silva, no run, And again. It moves away after landing well outside off, left alone again.

16.3 Langeveldt to Silva, no run, on the off stump line, goes on straight, pushed to cover point

16.5 Langeveldt to Sangakkara, no run, fuller, again that straightening, on the middle stump line, driven to mid-on. Langeveldt has been quite impressive here. Right areas, slightly movement and he has the batsmen in a cautious mood.

16.6 Langeveldt to Sangakkara, no run, length-delivery, around off stump, punched on the up to mid-off

End of over 17 (1 run) - Sri Lanka 72/3 (RR: 4.23)

17.1 Hall to Silva, 1 run, full in length, on the middle and leg stump line, dabbed close on the on side .

17.2 Hall to Sangakkara, no run, shout for lbw. Full-pitched delivery that landed outside leg stump and moved in towards the leg peg and evades an intended drive and thuds into the pad.

17.3 Hall to Sangakkara, no run, on the middle stump line, driven to the off side

17.4 Hall to Sangakkara, 1 run, slower one, on the middle stump line, Sanga leans forward, pushes it slowly towards mid-off where Smith is standing deep and picks up a single

No slip in place.

17.5 Hall to Silva, 1 leg bye, drifts on to the legs, a disgusted grunt from Hall, Silva tries to work it to on side, misses and the ball runs off the pad.

17.6 Hall to Sangakkara, 1 run, fuller and outside off, inviting a drive and Sanga obliges. It runs, off a thickish outside edge, down to third man

End of over 18 (4 runs) - Sri Lanka 76/3 (RR: 4.22)

18.1 Langeveldt to Sangakkara, FOUR, First four in over four overs. Short and outside off, Sanga eases back and across and cuts it past point.

18.2 Langeveldt to Sangakkara, no run

18.3 Langeveldt to Sangakkara, FOUR, fullish, on the legs, Sangakkara flicks, in the air, past square-leg.

Langeveldt, who has been pretty impressive with his line and lenght, has erred on two occasions and has conceded boundaries both times. Since he doesn't have much pace, he has to be really careful with his radar.

18.4 Langeveldt to Sangakkara, no run, gets it right this time, in the channel outside off and left alone

18.5 Langeveldt to Sangakkara, no run, on the off stump, from a length, pushed towards mid-off

18.6 Langeveldt to Sangakkara, no run, length-delivery on the off stump line, Sangakkara pushes it back down the track.

End of over 19 (8 runs) - Sri Lanka 84/3 (RR: 4.42)

KC Sangakkara 28* (35b 4x4) CK Langeveldt 6-0-22-2
LPC Silva 3* (9b) AJ Hall 2-0-9-0
