In the second Test, Samaraweera hits a century in SL's 333, and de Lange takes a seven-fer....

The Saffers keep churning out top quality pacers, don't they?

True... another pacers making noise...

Stumps - Day 3
Sri Lanka 338 & 256/7 (70.3 ov)

Sri Lanka lead by 426 runs with 3 wickets remaining
Sanga got his first ton in SA gave SL a healthy lead with two more days to go... 450-500 runs should be a good target for SA.... :)

South Africa close on 347/3.

Kallis 159*, de Villiers 45*.

Alviro takes over from Rudolph as opening bat, and immediately hits a century!
