Pujara falls after lunch, India 5 down

January 06, 2018 16:57

India 81-5 (37 ovs) vs SA 286 | Scorecard

Pacer Philander strikes immediately after the lunch break. Pujara plays a loose shot outside the off-stump, poking at a wide one only to get an edge and is caught in the slips for 26, off the very first ball of the second session.

Pujara showed so much patience in the morning session and never went after anything wide but immediately after the break, he played an uncharacteristic poke away from his body.

Hardik Pandya averages nearly 60 with the bat and he makes a nervous start. Philander gets another edge but this time the ball goes along the ground past the slips for a four. He taps the next ball on the leg side and picks a quick single.

Not the start that India would have wanted as it exposes the tailenders against a fresh South African bowling attack after the break.
