Rassie van der Dussen: As far as batting goes, a perfect day out for us. (The ball) was swinging up front. Pretty hot out there. Markram, when he plays like that. is incredible to watch. He found a nice length, bowling it into the wicket (his battle with Wellalage). Once he found that, he made it tough for us in the middle. I needed to go to alternative options. We just really try and play the conditions to be honest. Quinny and I batted normally for a large part of the innings. We know what the guys coming in can do. Klaasen, Markram and Miller are some of the best finishers in the world currently. The game's only halfway done. It's a very good outfield here, a very good wicket.
18:13 Local Time, 12:43 GMT, 18:13 IST: A hot day in Delhi and Sri Lanka have been absolutely cooked out here.
