Jansen’s seven wickets blow Sri Lanka away
Sri Lanka were dismissed for their lowest Test total and the lowest at Kingsmead by a rampant South African pace pack. Marco Jansen took a career-best seven for 13 in 45 balls as Sri Lanka were bowled out for 42, the lowest Test score by a team against South Africa.
Sri Lanka’s misfortunes were a combined result of incisive bowling with movement still on offer deep into the second day, and poor shot selection. Of the top seven, Pathum Nissanka, Angelo Mathews, Kamindu Mendis, Dhananjaya de Silva all played at deliveries they could have left.
Brief scores:
South Africa 191 in 49.4 overs (Temba Bavuma 70, Keshav Maharaj 24; Asitha Fernando 3-44, Lahiru Kumara 3-70, Vishwa Fernando 2-35, Prabath Jayasuriya 2-24) lead Sri Lanka 42 in 13.5 overs (Kamindu Mendis 13; Marco Jansen 7-13, Gerald Coetzee 2-18) by 149 runs
