South Africa needs five more Sri Lanka wickets to win the first cricket test in Durban. Centuries by Tristan Stubbs and captain Temba Bavuma set Sri Lanka a massive target of 516 runs to win at Kingsmead.

Stubbs has been signed for $1.15 million dollars by Delhi Capitals for the next Indian Premier League season but said his six-hitting prowess was a relatively recent development. “Through school and university I was a nudger,” he said.

South Africa leads Sri Lanka by 281 runs in the first cricket test in Durban after the end of a dramatic second day in which 19 wickets fell.
