Carnage at Hambantota and South Africa have helped themselves to a massive 339. Quinton de Kock made a fine 128, his 5th ODI ton. He put on 118 for the first wicket with Hashim Amla (48) but SL fought back through Herath. The left armer dismissed Amla and the out-of-touch Jacques Kallis(4) in quick succession but that only brought in AB de Villiers. He had a couple of promising starts in this series, but AB brought the best out of him today as he smashed a 66-ball hundred. He was well assisted by de Kock and Duminy as SA rattled along. All the bowlers barring Herath were expensive and it has left SL with a mountain to climb.
