Nuwan Kulasekara to bowl the first over and facing him is Richard Levi, who gets off the mark from the very first delivery with a couple on the leg side.
He looks to pull the next ball but it doesn't come as quick as expected and he hits it straight to mid-on.
Levi flicks the third ball behind square leg on the leg side as the ball struggles to get going on the damp outfield, getting the right-hander another couple.
Levi is gone off the next ball. He is deceived by a slower delivery and ends up holing it on the leg side where he is brilliantly caught by Dilshan Munaweera at mid-on, who takes a few steps back and then has to dive back to complete the catch.
Hashim Amla gets off the mark in some style as he lofts a wide delivery over the covers for a boundary and then takes a single from the last ball of that over.
