Rookie batsman Quinton de Kock hit a maiden half-century as South Africa moved to 331-7 at lunch on the second day of the first Test against Sri Lanka today.
De Kock, playing his second Test after making his debut in February, hit six fours in his promising 90-ball innings after South Africa resumed at their overnight score of 268-5.Left-hander Jean-Paul Duminy was batting on 22 with Vernon Philander on three at the break.
It turned out to be a mixed session for the visitors who added 63 runs off 30 overs while losing two wickets in hot and humid conditions at the Galle International Stadium.
