Sri Lanka took the final three wickets in four balls to complete an historic 208-run win over South Africa on the fourth day of the second Test at Kingsmead on Thursday.
It was Sri Lanka's first win in South Africa on four Test tours and the first win of a previously bleak 2011. The team's first win under Tillekeratne Dilshan's captaincy helped level the three-match series at 1-1.
Herath's five-for
Set to make 450 to win, South Africa was bowled out for 241. Left-arm spinner Herath, who took five for 79 for match figures of nine for 128, was named Man of the Match.
Sri Lanka seemed set for an early victory when South Africa lost five wickets between lunch and tea to be reeling at 133 for six shortly before the interval. continuereading
