OUT! L.B.W. Ravichandran Ashwin to Morne Morkel. Arm length ball, off stump on the back foot defending, hit pad. Ashwin wraps things up. The slider, skids on past the inside edge, and pins Morkel in front. He went back, when he should have been forward. Stone dead, an easy call for the umpire.
India will be delighted to dismiss the Proteas for below 300 after losing the toss, but the hosts won't be disappointed with 286 after being 12-3. The tail wagged nicely for South Africa and frustrated their opponents. Will this be a good score?
The deadly four pronged seam attack of the home side will want to rip into the Indian top order, who face a trick hour of batting till close. That period will decide who has had the better of the day.

OUT! Caught. Jasprit Bumrah to AB de Villiers. Length ball, outside off stump moves in front Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep mid wicket, by Kumar.
AB finds the man in the deep, going for some quick runs. Virat Kohli is over the moon with his bowler's efforts this morning after they restricted South Africa to 130 all out after they resumed this morning on 65-2. It is still a 207 lead so chasing these down will not be easy on such a bowler friendly wicket.
After watching their batsmen struggle this morning the South African quicks will be hoping to get the same amount of movement off the surface with Vernon Philander tailor-made for this occasion. There only problem is the injury to Dale Steyn, who will not bowl this Test. This is going to be a testing two sessions for India.

Jasprit Bumrah c Faf du Plessis b Vernon Philander 0 (1)
OUT! Caught. Vernon Philander to Jasprit Bumrah. Out-swinging length ball, outside off stump moves in front defending, outside edge to slips, by du Plessis.
It's all over. Vernon Philander takes his sixth and his career best figures, in front of his home crowd. What a performance from him and the rest of the bowlers to bowl out India for 135. There must have been a few nerves in the home camp when Ravichandran Ashwin and Bhuvneshwar Kumar had a good partnership going but once one wicket fell, the rest were like dominoes.
South Africa go 1-0 up in the series and if the rest of the Tests are anything like this it will be a cracker. Both teams had to fight hard at various moments but in the end it was the South African bowlers that came out on top against the very dangerous Indian top-order. Join us for the 2nd Test at Centurion to see if India can strike back.

AB finds the man in the deep, going for some quick runs. Virat Kohli is over the moon with his bowler's efforts this morning after they restricted South Africa to 130 all out after they resumed this morning on 65-2. It is still a 207 lead so chasing these down will not be easy on such a bowler friendly wicket.
After watching their batsmen struggle this morning the South African quicks will be hoping to get the same amount of movement off the surface with Vernon Philander tailor-made for this occasion. There only problem is the injury to Dale Steyn, who will not bowl this Test. This is going to be a testing two sessions for India.

It's all over. Vernon Philander takes his sixth and his career best figures, in front of his home crowd. What a performance from him and the rest of the bowlers to bowl out India for 135. There must have been a few nerves in the home camp when Ravichandran Ashwin and Bhuvneshwar Kumar had a good partnership going but once one wicket fell, the rest were like dominoes.
South Africa go 1-0 up in the series and if the rest of the Tests are anything like this it will be a cracker. Both teams had to fight hard at various moments but in the end it was the South African bowlers that came out on top against the very dangerous Indian top-order. Join us for the 2nd Test at Centurion to see if India can strike back.
