And cricket news::: South Africa completed a dominating 10-wicket victory over Sri Lanka shortly after lunch on the third day of the second test at the Wanderers in Johannesburg this afternoon. The victory, coupled with the innings and 45-run win at Supersport Park in Century during the Boxing Day test, allowed the home side to whitewash Sri Lanka in a revenge series after having lost the previous two 2-match series at home and in Sri Lanka. Man of the match Dean Elgar (31 not out) and Aiden Markram (36 not out) quickly knocked off the 67 runs required in just 13.2 overs after Sri Lanka had been bowled out for 211 in their second innings shortly before lunch on day three.
