Rahane closes in on another century as India build lead

December 06, 2015 10:47

India 245-5 (95 ovs) & 334 vs SA 121 | Scorecard

Time for spin as leg-spinner Imran Tahir comes into the attack. Saha looks to drive the second ball through the off-side but gets an inside edge on the leg side to get a single and Rahane takes one from the fifth ball.

Spin from both ends now as part-timer Dean Elgar comes into the attack. He gets one to turn sharply beating Rahane, who came forward to defend, before he drives the next ball to long-on for one and Saha keeps strike with a single from the last ball of the over.

After a few quiet overs, Rahane decides to lift the ante as he slog sweeps Tahir over midwicket for a six.

In the next over, he comes down the track and lofts Elgar over the leg side for another six to move into the 90s and close in on his second century of the match.
