COLOMBO (Reuters) - South Africa conceded a first innings lead of 214 runs when they were bundled out for just 124 on day two of the second and final test against Sri Lanka in Colombo on Saturday.
Skipper Faf du Plessis top-scored for the tourists with a fluent 48, while Quinton de Kock contributed 32 as South Africa once again capitulated to the home side's slow bowlers and failed to reach the 150-mark in the series.
Akila Dananjaya (5-52) and Dilruwan Perera (4-40) combined to run through the tourists, who lost all 10 wickets to spin after the home side added 74 runs for the final wicket of their first innings to reach 338 all out.
