The runs flowed for Faf du Plessis and South Africa on the third day of the first Test against Sri Lanka at SuperSport Park in Centurion on Monday, but while the Proteas’ former captain will be delighted with his own performance and the strong position of his team, he will be hankering after just one more run.
That’s because Du Plessis became just the second South African batsman and 11th overall to be dismissed for 199, just one run short of his first double century. After 412 minutes and 276 balls at the crease, Du Plessis tried to belt Wanindu Hasaranga over the top but his on-drive failed to clear a wide mid-on and he joined Dean Elgar in the 199 club.
