South Africa have a slight edge against Sri Lanka after day 1, finishing at 297/6. If they can add another 100+ runs, they will be able to put pressure on Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka must get de Kock early to have a chance in this test match.
Not slight edge,i will say South Africa are much ahead Sri Lanka in this test match as I dont think Sri lanks can score even 250 in their first innings as south african bowlers are too good in this home conditions and srilankan batsman are not able to cope with it.
since this is a bowling friendly wicket even i do expect a easy game for the South Africans to win the match,Elgar scored a fine century to give the team a good total in the first day and de Kock is still in the crease and he could add some runs to build a good lead and it all depends upon how the Srilankan batsmen cope up with the pitch and condition.
