13:08 Local Time, 11:08 GMT, 16:38 IST: South Africa added 35 runs in quick time after lunch and they'll back themselves to defend this score. The visitors will have to chase a record score at this ground and they'll have a minimum of 147 overs to achieve the task. Having gained a 30-run first innings lead, South Africa had contributors right through the order as they went past the 300-run mark once again in the second innings. Temba Bavuma capped off a fine series with the bat with 66, Aiden Markram chipped in with 55 and as many as eight batters got into double figures. The Lankan bowlers reeled away and Prabath Jayasuriya secured his maiden 5-wicket haul outside home. Can they chase this score down? Back shortly for the final innings of this series..
