block

Mark Boucher won his first Test series as South Africa coach as the Proteas thrashed England’s next opponents Sri Lanka within three days in the second Test. Dimuth Karunaratne moved to his first overseas century since 2017, before Sri Lanka lost their final six second-innings wickets for 35 runs, Lungi Ngidi taking 4-44. That left South Africa needing just 67 to win and Dean Elgar and Aiden Markram wrapped up the 10-wicket win in just 13.2 overs. Sri Lanka’s two-Test series against England starts on 14 January.
