Port Elizabeth: Kagiso Rabada made two crucial breakthroughs as South Africa chipped away at a stubborn Sri Lankan batting order on the fourth day of the first Test at St George's Park yesterday. Sri Lanka were 240 for five at the close of play, with their last two recognised batsmen at the crease, after being set to make an improbable 488 to win. Rabada twice dismissed set batsmen, on both occasions with the second ball of a new spell.
