Sri Lanka fight back after Rickelton maiden century

Port Elizabeth, Dec 5 (UNI) Sri Lanka struck late on the opening day of the second Test against South Africa to limit the hosts to 269 for 7 at St George's Park on Thursday. A maiden century by Ryan Rickelton, combined with key wickets at either end of the day, left the contest evenly poised.
South Africa, who opted to bat first, were rocked early by Sri Lanka's disciplined attack. The hosts lost their first wicket as early as the second over, when Toni de Zorzi was trapped leg-before by Asitha Fernando. De Zorzi, who missed the flick, was sent for a duck after the review upheld the on-field decision.
Aiden Markram's promising start with a few fine boundaries was halted when Lahiru Kumara’s delivery nipped back to bowl him out. Soon after, Tristan Stubbs was caught behind off Kumara, leaving South Africa struggling at 44 for 3.
