121. That's all that South Africa could muster in their chase. They folded up in less than 25 overs. It wasn't a difficult wicket to bat on but the visiting batsmen struggled to pick Akila Dananjaya's variations, and handed the spinner 6 wickets. Sri Lanka won the match by 178 runs but lost the series 2-3.

Blink and you miss. Another wicket falls. South Africa have lost eight wickets in less than 20 overs. Akila Dananjaya has bagged a fifer. The rest is now a formality. The question is who folds up faster. India in England or South Africa in Sri Lanka? Rain at Lord's will save India, we believe.
