Big talking point this morning is SA going in with only one spinner, dropping the reliable Philander and including Theunis de Bruyn in a bid to beef up the batting.

Wishing the Proteas all the best in the must win second Test, starting tomorrow in Colombo. Day off for me tomorrow... Excited for some Test cricket again. History beckons for Steyn, some runs for the top six would be nice, more wickets for SA spinners... 📷 @OfficialCSA #SLvSA pic.twitter.com/ym2s3NWGPr
