Looks like it's very tough to score

287 would be a big score to chase

You feel kohli may need to get half of them

Not lucky this time. Rabada bowls him. Nice captaincy by Faf to give Rabada new ball this innings. He is fastest of them all. Compliments with variety to Phillys line and length with awesome pace.

11/1. :no

price was too good not to take the chance.
hard to see how india can win this anyway with SA having 2 new balls at india.
if the total was around 250 they had a chance because when the ball goes old this deck becomes a day 1 type wicket.

Ashwin let india down badly though.
Starting to agree with Shanky about him, reckon jadeja should be the number 1 spinner for india now.

16/2. Didnt expect openers to last today though. But getting out so early without seeing the new ball is pathetic.

Won't even save face if we collapse like this. At least a fight is expected.

3 down already :facepalm

Could be worse than this.

2-0 on the walls. Not surprising but i expected us to put a better show in second test at least. Saffers have dominated the whole of this test series apart form the first 2 sessions on day 1 of 1st test.

The way ngidi angles it in he was always gonna be a handful on this wicket

Kohli gets some of his own medicine

Looks a very useful bowler
