Sri Lanka frustrated against South Africa on day four

Sri Lanka frustrated on day four

The second and deciding Test between Sri Lanka and South Africa looks to be heading for a draw following a frustrating fourth day for both teams in Colombo.

The Sri Lankans started the evening session on 203-6 after bad light had forced them off the field for an early tea, and they eventually declared on 229-8 to post a lead of 368.

South Africa then got off to a slow start at the crease before finishing the day on 38-1.

Alviro Petersen had failed to score a single run off 24 deliveries when he was dismissed by Rangana Herath for a duck, but Dean Elgar [13 not out] and Quinton de Kock (21) managed to get some runs on the board by the end of the evening.
