Proteas enforce follow-on vs Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka have been made to follow on in the third Test against South Africa, after being dismissed for 131, well short of the Proteas' first innings of 426.

Fast bowlers Vernon Philander and Kagiso Rabada finished with three wickets apiece as Sri Lanka were made to follow on by South Africa in the third Test at the Wanderers on Saturday.

Philander took 3-28 and Rabada claimed 3-44 as Sri Lanka fell from an overnight score of 4-80 to 131 all out before lunch on day three.

With South Africa having amassed 426 all out in their first innings on the back of centuries from JP Duminy and Hashim Amla, who is playing in his 100th Test, the tourists still trailed by 295 runs.

Newcomer Duanne Olivier and left-arm seamer Wayne Parnell also contributed two wickets each to the South African cause.
