South Africa poised to beat Sri Lanka in 1st test after tons by Stubbs and Bavuma

Associated Press  

DURBAN, South Africa — South Africa was five Sri Lanka wickets away from victory in the first cricket test after centuries by Tristan Stubbs and captain Temba Bavuma at Kingsmead on Friday. Fourth-wicket partners Stubbs and Bavuma almost went run for run, reaching their fifties within two overs of each other, and their centuries within four. Pace bowlers Kagiso Rabada and Marco Jansen then took two wickets each from the top order, leaving Sri Lanka virtually doomed to defeat sometime on Saturday, and the end of its unusual unbeaten run in Durban. His precious 70 easily led the Proteas in the first innings, and he’s the first South Africa captain to score at least 70 in both innings of a home test since 1939, by Alan Melville against England on the same field.
