Ashwin gets 6th wicket, India one wicket away from victory

November 27, 2015 15:17

SA 177-9 (88 ovs); Target: 310 | Scorecard

Tailenders Simon Harmer and Kagiso Rabada out in the middle, having to contend against the two spinners getting a lot of turn and the odd bounce. Lot of 'oohs' and 'aahs' as Jadeja and Ashwin consistenly beat the two batsmen or induce the batsmen into a foul shot.

Rabada has had enough of the defending as he gives Ashwin and lofts him over mid-off as Jadeja scampers back but messes up an easy stop to give away a four. The left-hander then gets a leading edge which flies past Rahane at first slip, infact it went off very quickly and Rahane barely had time to react.

Kohli makes a change as Mishra is called into the attack in place of Jadeja but it is Ashwin who continues his wicket ways.

Rabada edges the off-spinner, straight into the hands of Rahane at first slip to fall for six as SA slip to 177 for nine.

Lastman Morne Morkel walks out to the middle with another 16 overs left in the day.
