Chasing 490, South Africa were eventually bowled out for 290, thus losing by 199 runs. It could have been worse, for South Africa were reeling at 113 for 5 in the final session on Day Three. However, <a href="http://www.cricketcountry.com/tag/Theunis-de-Bruyn" target="_blank">Theunis de Bruyn</a> (101) and <a href="http://www.cricketcountry.com/tag/temba-bavuma" target="_blank">Temba Bavuma</a> (63) added 123, delaying the inevitable till <a href="http://www.cricketcountry.com/tag/rangana-herath" target="_blank">Rangana Herath</a> broke through before lunch. Herath finished with 6 for 98, his 34th five-wicket haul. <p></p> <p></p>Herath first had Bavuma caught behind. Then, at the stroke of lunch, he had Quinton de Kock leg-before with one that turned almost across him. Shortly after lunch, Kagiso Rabada stepped out and lofted Herath for a humongous straight six. <p></p> <p></p>De Bruyn swept Herath very fine for four to bring up his maiden Test hundred. Four balls later Herath undid him with the left-arm spinner's one-two trick. He tossed one up and the ball beat de Bruyn's bat as he groped forward in defence. De Bruyn failed to read the next delivery; he shouldered arms as the ball hit off. <p></p> <p></p>Two balls later Dilruwan Perera had Rabada caught at slip. Lungi Ngidi smashed Dilruwan for four past mid-wicket, while Dale Steyn lofted Herath straight for six. Trying an encore, Steyn mistimed and was caught at long-off by Danushka Gunathilaka, <a href="http://www.cricketcountry.com/news/danushka-gunathilaka-suspended-after-friend-accused-of-rape-728430" target="_blank">suspended indefinitely</a> from international cricket by Sri Lanka Cricket after the Test. <p></p> <p></p><strong>Brief scores:</strong> <p></p> <p></p><strong>Sri Lanka</strong> 338 (Danushka Gunathilaka 57, Dimuth Karunaratne 53, Dhananjaya de Silva 60; <a href="http://www.cricketcountry.com/tag/keshav-maharaj" target="_blank">Keshav Maharaj</a> 9 for 129) and 275 for 5 decl.
