Day 3 of the first Test against Sri Lanka completely belonged to as they had the visitors with a virtually insurmountable challenge of getting to the 516-run target set. They were spotless with bat and ball as the Lankans were never able to cope with how clinical the hosts were in their on-field endeavours.

South Africa are nearing an imminent victory in the first Test after centuries from Tristan Stubbs and Temba Bavuma helped them post a colossal target. In response Sri Lanka are teetering at 103/5 on Day 3.
