South Africa beat Sri Lanka by 233 runs in Durban last week to take the first of the two-test series
Sri Lanka put up a determined fight against South Africa’s hostile pace attack as they began their first innings on the second day of the second test and reached 103-1 at tea on Friday.
Dimuth Karunaratne was the only wicket lost, scoring 20 before being undone by a rising delivery from Kagiso Rabada that forced an edge behind to wicketkeeper Verreynne. The pre-lunch session was dominated by the heroics of Verreynne, who took his overnight score from 48 to 105 not out in an exciting knock.He was still one run shy of his 50 when South Africa lost their eighth wicket in the third over of the morning but his partnerships with the last two batsmen — Rabada and Paterson — saw him to an unlikely century.
