arm spinner Rangana Herath took five wickets as Sri Lanka recorded its first Test win in South Africa with a 208-run victory at Kingsmead Thursday. Sri Lanka bowled the home side out for 241 just before the close on the fourth day of the second Test to level the series at 1-1. It was Sri Lanka's first Test win in the country in nine attempts and followed its innings defeat at Centurion in the first match. South Africa, chasing a record 450 for victory, collapsed dismally after lunch, slumping to 133 for six before AB de Villiers and Dale Steyn resisted for two-and-a-quarter hours. Herath was the inspiration for Sri Lanka, taking five for 79 in 30.3 overs, to give him nine wickets in the test and the man of the match award. Pace bowler Dilhara Fernando (2-29) could also take credit for bowling South Africa out in two-and-a-half sessions. De Villiers and Steyn added 99 for the seventh wicket before Herath returned with a second new ball that was just three overs old. He quickly trapped de Villiers lbw for 69 and Morne Morkel then slogged at part-time spinner Tillakaratne Dilshan, missed and was out leg-before for five. With bad light threatening to end play for the day, Herath removed Steyn for 43 and last man Marchant de Lange (0) in the space of three balls. Earlier, Lanka added just 23 runs to its overnight total before it was dismissed for 279.
