Sri Lanka all out with lowest Test score

Sri Lanka have been bowled out for 42 by South Africa in Durban - the lowest Test total in the history of their men's team.

Replying to South Africa's first innings 191, Sri Lanka were all out after 13.5 overs on day two of the first Test on Thursday.

It was the lowest innings total in Sri Lanka's history although some way over  the lowest ever in Test cricket which remains New Zealand's 26 against England in Auckland in 1955.

South Africa, who were earlier bowled out for 191, lead by 149 runs going  into the second innings.

Marco Jansen returned career-best Test figures of 7-13 from 6.5 overs, with Gerald Coetzee (2-18) and Kagiso Rabada (1-10) claiming the other wickets.

Sri Lanka's men's previous lowest Test innings was 71 against Pakistan in Kandy in 1994.

On only eight occasions has a team been bowled out for fewer than 42 runs in men's Test cricket. 
Kamindu Mendis (13) and Lahiru Kumara (10) were the only batters to reach double figures.

Their innings lasted 83 balls, the second shortest in men's Test history when a team has been bowled out.

The lowest was by South Africa, who were bowled out for 30 from 75 balls by England at Edgbaston in 1924.
