Plus, Ben Duckett reflects on the match where he scored 167, as well as the tournament as a whole. Sri Lanka captain Kusal Mendis looks back at his side’s defeat ahead of the tri-series final on Saturday. English umpire Richard Kettleborough reflects on his umpiring career as he stands in his 100th Test match in the game between South Africa and Australia at Newlands.
