Sri Lanka set to level series with South Africa

The tourists were indebted to a 28th Test ton from Kumar Sangakkara, who was dropped on three by Proteas captain Graeme Smith in the first over of the day, and a second half-century in as many innings by brilliant debutant Dinesh Chandimal as they reached 256 for seven when bad light stopped play at Kingsmead.

South Africa won the opening Test by an innings and 81 runs in Centurion, but it now looks like the series will be decided in Cape Town.

Thilan Samaraweera hit a useful 43, while Chandimal continued the rich start to his Test career with a superb 54.

Sangakkara's wicket was finally claimed by Imran Tahir as the Sri Lanka batsman holed out to Smith at deep mid-on for 108, having faced 190 balls.

Rangana Herath (five not out) and Thisara Perera (six not out) came together before bad light forced the teams off in the 71st over.
