World number one side South Africa, hosts of the 2009 ICC Champions Trophy, take on Sri Lanka in the opening match of the eight-team tournament at Centurion
Traditional South African dancers strut their stuff while Sri Lanka's batsmen prepare to bat after being put in by South Africa skipper Graeme Smith
Dale Steyn takes the first wicket in the third over when he traps veteran opener Sanath Jayasuriya lbw for 10 to give the home crowd something to cheer
Tillakaratne Dilshan plays one of his innovative "Dilscoop" strokes off the bowling of Wayne Parnell, but mostly plays orthodox shots to reach his half century off just 38 balls
Dilshan and skipper Kumar Sangakkara put on 158 for the second wicket before JP Duminy dismisses Sangakkara for 54 by catching him off his own bowling
Dilshan brings up his third one-day century before he falls for 106, hitting 16 fours and a six in his superb 92-ball innings, but his efforts mean Sri Lanka are on course for a big total
Mahela Jayawardene survives this run-out appeal from Wayne Parnell and goes on to blast 77 from 61 balls before Parnell has him caught in the covers
Angelo Mathews is the last man out, bowled by Steyn off the last ball of the match, as Sri Lanka finish their 50 overs on an imposing 319-8
South Africa's reply gets off to a bad start when Hashim Amla drags a Mathews delivery on to his stumps and is out for two in the third over
Skipper Smith takes the attack to Sri Lanka but is out for 58 from 44 balls when spinner Ajantha Mendis bamboozles him with a ripping delivery
Mendis dismisses the dangerous Kallis for 41, thanks to a sharp catch from Mathews, and next ball bowls a baffled JP Duminy for a golden duck to put his side well and truly on top
AB de Villiers tries to revive South Africa's hopes but gets himself out for 24 when he skies a Malinga delivery high into the night air and is caught by Jayawardene
Mark Boucher steps across his stumps to make room to hit the ball but misses and is given out lbw to Mathews for 26, and at 163-6 the hosts are in big trouble
Lusty hitting from vice-captain Johan Botha, along with Albie Morkel, takes South Africa over 200 before heavy rain ends the match with the hosts 55 runs short of the 261 Duckworth/Lewis target
