CAPE TOWN: South Africa seamers Vernon Philander and Kagiso Rabada claimed four wickets apiece to bowled out Sri Lanka for paltry 110 runs on the second day of second Test at Newlands on Tuesday.

Philander recorded figures of 4-27, while Rabada took 4-37 to give South Africa a first-innings massive lead of 282 after it had been dismissed for 392 earlier in the day. With three more days still to go, host opted not to enforce the follow-on.

In the morning session, overnight batsman Quinton de Kock registered his third test century on the second morning, while Lahiru Kumara picked up his maiden five-wicket haul, taking 6-122.
