South Africa Dominates as Sri Lanka Collapses

In a remarkable display of bowling, South Africa's Marco Jansen took career-best figures of 7/13, leading to Sri Lanka being bowled out for their lowest Test score of 42 at Kingsmead, Durban. This score is the lowest by any team against South Africa and the lowest in Sri Lanka's Test history, eclipsing their previous record of 71 against Pakistan in 1994. The innings lasted just 13.5 overs, making it the second-fastest innings in terms of balls faced in Test history. South Africa, who were earlier bowled out for 191, secured a commanding 149-run lead. Jansen's performance was supported by Gerald Coetzee and Kagiso Rabada, who shared the remaining wickets. This historic collapse has set the tone for what promises to be an engaging Test series.
