SAF 1ST

OUT! Caught. Kuldeep Yadav to Ottniel Baartman. Googly length ball, wide outside off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to extra cover, caught by Yadav. That brings us to the end of the first innings. South Africa have been bowled out for 117. The Indian bowlers made brilliant use of the conditions, striking early with the new ball and pushing the visitors firmly onto the back foot. Skipper Aiden Markram held his nerve, showing patience and composure to guide South Africa past the three-figure mark. However, once Markram was dismissed, the Indian attack ran through the tail with ease. Will this be a comfortable chase for India, or do South Africa have one more twist left in the tale? Stay with us for what promises to be an intriguing second innings.
