DURBAN, South Africa, Dec 27 (Reuters) – Hashim Amla’s
counter-attacking half-century steered South Africa to 100 for
three at tea on the second day of the second test against Sri
Lanka at Kingsmead on Tuesday.
Replying to Sri Lanka’s first innings 338, the home team
slumped to 27 for three before Amla hit 52 not out as he and AB
de Villiers (23 not out) put on an unbroken 73 for the fourth
wicket.
Left-arm paceman Chanaka Welegedara picked up two wickets in
four balls, removing Graeme Smith for 15 and Jacques Kallis for
a duck.
Jacques Rudolph also fell for seven when he pulled a short,
leg-side delivery from Thisara Perera to fine-leg where
Welegedara lunged forward to take a good catch.
Earlier, fast bowler Marchant de Lange grabbed seven wickets
on his debut while Thilan Samaraweera compiled his 13th test
century as Sri Lanka chalked up their biggest total in South
Africa.
