Rahane the key for India, SA eye early wickets on Day 2

December 04, 2015 08:56

Welcome to the coverage of Day 2 of the fourth and final Test between India and South Africa in Delhi, on Friday.

India will be hoping Ajinkya Rahane can register the first century of the series and also guide them towards a healthy first innings total.

On Day 1, Rahane rallied India with a gutsy, unbeaten 89 as India's much-vaunted top-order failed yet again. At stumps, the home side was 231 for 7 in 84 overs, when bad light forced an early end to the day's proceedings.

Along with Rahane, Ravichandran Ashwin was unbeaten on 6.

India's tormentors were off-spinner Dane Piedt (4-101 in 34 overs), playing his first Test of the series, and pacer Kyle Abbott (3-23 in 17 overs), who was economical as well as incisive with his swing bowling.
