Dale Steyn shines for South Africa in second Test opener

By , Senior Reporter
Sri Lanka head into lunch on day one of the second and final Test against South Africa on 115-3 thanks to good work from bowler Dale Steyn.

Dale Steyn helped South Africa get off to a flying start on day one of the second Test against Sri Lanka in Colombo.

The 31-year-old, who was an inspirational figure in his side's opening Test at Galle, took two wickets from two balls before lunch in the series-decider.

Upul Tharanga was the first to go at the SSC ground, while Kumar Sangakkara soon followed at 16-2.

The third wicket to fall before the break was taken by Jean-Paul Duminy, who dismissed 44-run Kaushal Silva.

Mahela Jayawardene and Angelo Mathews will resume play for Sri Lanka with the score at 115-3.
