Mahela Jayawardene perished after trying to lift the scoring rate stymied by some superb bowling from Dale Steyn. The runs weren’t coming and captain Jayawardene lifted Steyn’s final delivery of the second over and got the elevation but not the distance as Behardien completed a comfortable catch at deep square leg. He departs after scoring 4(6b, 1X4). Kumara Sangakkara is the new man in the middle.
Sri Lanka Over: 1 | Score: 5/1
Right! A cracking start to the defence of their total for the Proteas here! They have got the dangerman Tillakaratne Dilshan back in the dugout without even bowling a single delivery to him. Mahela Jayawardene began the chase by playing the first two deliveries from Morne Morkel for nought. Then he lifted one up for a boundary past covers.
Then Dilshan who was caught short of his crease after a brilliant effort from keeper de Villiers had him run out after the batsman kept watching the ball and thus was late in his gallop towards the strikers’ end. He departed for 0(0b). Dilshan Munaweera is the new man in the middle
The players are back in the middle and the action is just about to begin in this super-exciting T7 game.

South African innings
South Africa Over: 7 | Score: 78/4
Thisara Perera will bowl the final over of the innings as South Africa look to collect as much run as possible of the final six deliveries.

South Africa Over: 6 | Score: 65/3
Villiers slaps Malinga over midwicket region for a huge six, welcoming him in a similar fashion as he did to Herath after the slinger had dropped the first one wide of off-stump to be called a wide by the umpire.

South Africa Over: 2 | Score: 21/1
Lasith Malinga is being taken to task here by “The Monk”.

Malinga then sent the next one down to the leg side for a wide. And with this over it's the end of powerplay.
South Africa Over: 1 | Score: 9/1
Nuwan Kulasekara has begun the proceedings for the host in this rain curtailed 7-over-a-side cricket match as Richard Levi and Hashim Amla take guard in the middle.
