Proteas early in trouble
E l GALLE. Sri Lanka. July 21; South Africa were left i I with more than I | three days to ■fl overhaul Sri Lanka's imposing total of 522 and save the first cricket Test played at the Galle International Stadium here Friday, re-ports AFP.
South Africa finished the second day at 81 for two wickets, still requiring 242 runs to make Sri Lanka bat again.

Muralitharan struck two early blows by dismissing both openers within stx balls to have them struggling at 30 for two. but Jacques Kallis and Darryl Cullinan with 27 apiece put together a stand worth 51 runs to see South Africa through for the day.
Debutant Neil McKenzie was bowled off his pads by Muralitharan for I 1 and Gary Kirsten gave a catch behind the wicket to Kumar Sangakkara also off Muralitharan at 12.
Sri Lanka were dismissed for their highest-ever total against South Africa shortly before tea with Mahela Jayawardene joining Sanath Jayasuriya (148) by scoring a century.

The stand improved the previous highest of 76 between Ar-avinda de Silva and Vaas against Pakistan at Sinhalese Sports Club grounds in 1996-97.
Vaas' contribution was a patient knock of 54. Ills fourth Test fifty, which occupied 170 minutes. He frustrated the South African bowlers hitting seven fours and saw Sri Lanka top 500 for the first time in a Test against South Africa. The previous highest was 331 at Moratuwa in 1993-94
Shaun Pollock finally brought Srl Lanka s Innings to an end. when he bowled vaas, 22 minutes before tea.
Jayawardene who had made the identical score of 167 against New Zealand on this ground three years ago. was also ismissed by Pollock when he chased a wide delivery and edged a catch to wicketkeeper Mark Boucher.
Jayawardene occupied (he crease for 331 minutes and faced 288 balls, hitting 22 fours and two sixes.
Pollock ended up vylth figures pf three for 78. but |e(t-ariner Paul Adams failed to add to his first day tally of three wickets and conceded 184 runs, the second most expensive bowling figures by a South African since Cyril Vincent took two for 188 off 42 overs against England at the Oval in 1935.
