South Africa Beat Sri Lanka By 233 Runs In First Test, Bolster World Test Championship Final Hopes

South Africa had to overcome determined resistance from Sri Lanka's batsmen before winning the first Test by 233 runs at Kingsmead on Saturday.

South Africa vs Sri Lanka 1st Test Day 2 LIVE Score Updates

South Africa vs Sri Lanka 1st Test Day 2 LIVE Score Updates: After rain curtailed play on Day 1 to only 20.4 overs, Day 2 begins with brighter skies in the first Test in Durban between hosts South Africa and visitors Sri Lanka.

1st Test, Day 1: Lahiru Kumara Gives Sri Lanka Edge On Rain-Hit Day Against South Africa

Lahiru Kumara struck twice as Sri Lanka's bowlers had the better of a rain-hit opening day of the first Test against South Africa at Kingsmead on Wednesday. South Africa were 80 for four when rain stopped play for the day shortly before lunch. Fast bowler Kumara took wickets in successive overs to put his team on top -- and was denied a third wicket because of a no-ball. "There was a lot in favour of the bowling team and they bowled well. The deliveries that got wickets were all pretty decent," said South Africa batting coach Ashwell Prince.
