best 5-26 and knocking South Africa out at 40/5
South Africa with a lot of homework and deep thinking to do in the
next few days before the third ODI on Wednesday
For Sri Lanka a near perfect day in the field as they continue on
their winning ways
Hopefully you will join us again on Wednesday when Sri Lanka have
the chance of wrapping up the five-match series
