Centurion, January 21: Sri Lanka slumped to 119 all out midway through the afternoon session on the second day of the third Test against South Africa on Sunday.
The tourists, trailing by 259 on first innings after South Africa were bowled out for 378, were obliged to follow on and in the fifth over were nine for one.
Pace bowler Makhaya Ntini was the destroyer-in-Chief for South Africa, taking four for 39 in 11 overs of hostile bowling on a pitch exhibiting pace and bounce.Ntini had removed Mahela Jayawardene with a virtually unplayable delivery to send the players to lunch with the tourists on 54 for five.
