Welcome back for what could be the final session of this Test series. Funny things have happened in cricket but the chances of anything other than a South African win here looks next to impossible. Only 43 runs left for a win and Sri Lanka would like to avoid a 10-wicket loss. Let's see how things pan out.

.....DAY 3, SECOND SESSION.....

A satisfying session for South Africa! Their bowlers did an incredible job to bundle out Sri Lanka this morning and restricted their lead to only 66. The African openers had a little period of 5 overs to negotiate before Lunch and they did that safely by scoring 24 runs. Another 43 needed for a clean sweep and we will be back to finish the formality at 12.40 pm local (1040 GMT).

Vishwa Fernando to Aiden Markram, NOT OUT! A close one this. A fuller length ball outside off, Markram looks to drive but gets an outside edge towards the slip cordon. Mendis from second slip dives across to his left and claims the catch. Markram stands his ground and the umpires send it upstairs by giving the soft signal as out. Replays show the ball has touched the ground as Mendis caught it. There is enough conclusive evidence to overturn the soft signal and the third umpire flashes NOT OUT on the big screen. Markram survives.

Is that taken? Kusal Mendis is claiming the catch. Umpire Erasmus is unsure and walks up to his partner. They have a chat and decide to go upstairs. Sri Lanka are very sure about it and almost leaving the ground for Lunch. Soft signal is out. Let's find out. It has touched the ground, the soft signal is overturned and the Lankan players return to bowl the remaining balls of the over.
