GQEBERHA, South Africa (Reuters) -Opener Pathum Nissanka led Sri Lanka's fight back against hosts South Africa on Friday as they closed the second day of the second test on 242-3, trailing by 116 runs.

Nissanka was dropped when he was on 22 and went on to punish the South African bowlers, helping to blunt a hostile seam attack at St George’s Park in reply to the home side’s 358 all out.
