JOHANNESBURG (AP) " JP Duminy led South Africa's recovery after two quick wickets had put the team on the back foot Thursday on the first day of the third test against Sri Lanka at the Wanderers. Openers Stephen Cook (10) and Dean Elgar (27) were dismissed in consecutive overs as South Africa fell to 45-2 after winning the toss and electing to bat. But the breakthrough for Sri Lanka came when captain Angelo Mathews trapped Cook lbw, ending the batsman's first test innings on his home ground and bringing Amla to the crease. Lahiru Kumara had Elgar caught at slip five deliveries later, putting pressure on two of South Africa's out-of-form batsmen. South Africa holds a 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
