SL 31-3 (5 ovs) vs SA 78-4 (7 ovs)

WICKET: Sangakkara c de Villiers b Kallis 13 (11b, 1x4)

South Africa are in complete control as Sri Lanka need 57 runs from 18 balls for victory.

Jacques Kallis comes in to bowl the fifth over. Sangakkara top edges the pull and Albie Morkel at midwicket drops the simplest of catches, despite having enough to judge it and settle under it.

He gets a single from the next ball before Munaweera top edges the pull too, which flies over the short fine leg fielder for a boundary.

Sangakkara is caught behind as he looks to heave it over the off-side but gets an outside edge which is gleefully accepted by de Villiers behind the wicket for 13.

Thisara Perera is the new batsman and he takes a single to get off the mark.
