India tour of South Africa

ABD looking set for a big one here

Shami has to be the one to get us back today. With AB gone, the runs won't come as fast and we may have a chance to stay in the game longer now. This will also bring Ashwin back into the contest. India need to get them 5 down before the lead touches 200.

Nearly 5 down if it wasn't for that drop catch by KL Rahul. We need to take or convert the half chances to make any inroads in the game.

This is set up nicely for QDk. The game can sway either way from here. If we get the next two within another 20 runs, we are back in it. If not, it could quickly swell to 330 odd in no time. Ashwin has to nip De Kock out fast.

That's the most unreal thing I've seen. 4 balls and 4 edges!

 

[Bigby Wolf]

That was unbelievable 4 nicks of the 4 deliveries with the first three somehow went for fours and last one edged to the keeper.

Totally irresponsible batting by QDK. His wicket could be the difference

 

[abhi_jacko]

Time for Ashwin to strike instead of just threatening to strike. Time to make an impact which has been expected from him for a long time. Faf's sweeping is really putting him off though

He is again trying too many things on every delivery. Should concentrate on getting a cluster of off breaks before pushing in a carrom to Philander

If we can get another one before lunch, we can get the odds to 60-40 in SA's favor.[DOUBLEPOST=1516095977][/DOUBLEPOST]Shami needs to get that 5er and not be satisfied with his effort. The fire has to keep burning.

What a waste of a review...

 

[CerealKiller]

Seems like there's a lot of uneven bounce.

 

[aditya123]

India would've loved the pace of Umesh with the old ball. Ishant is mediocre and defensive at best. The game is beyond use now. Hope we can bat long enough to prevent a defeat and take the series to the final game.

Good bowling from india if they can get faf out early in 3rd session then they can bowl SA under 300 or even 250.

IDK why people are saying that ind cant chase 300+ against SA?

Because its bloody tough chasing 300 on a 4th/5th day track against a quality pace attack! 287 is 50 runs too many. That is what will be the margin of defeat. To have any shot at getting close, the openers and Pujara have to get half the runs. Dont't expect Kohli to do it all the time for you.
