November 26, 2015  12:36

India 26-1 (10 ovs) & 215 vs SA 79 | Scorecard


Dhawan will need a good innings to get the critics off his back following a string of poor scores recently before he got some runs in the rain-affected second Test in Bangalore.

Harmer gets Pujara to nick one but the ball falls short of Amla at first slip. Good bowling by the off-spinners, looking to stick to the basics and hoping the pitch does the trick.

India playing out Morkel, who is trying to make things happen with the new ball, bowling slow balls in between, or trying to shape the ball in to Pujara, with a packed leg side field. At the other end, Harmer is picked for three singles in his fourth over.

Morkel bowling a packed leg side field to Pujara, who manages to steer the second ball to thirdman for one. Dhawan looks to pull a short one but is beaten by one which stays low.

In the next over, though, he connects with the sweep as he hits Harmer through the vacant square leg region for a four.

After 10 overs, India are 26 for one with Dhawan on 11 and Pujara on nine, for an overall lead of 162 runs.
