January 08, 2018  18:59


India 82-7 (29 ovs) vs SA; Target: 208 | Scorecard


Saha plays a rare shot over the top as he flicks a full delivery from Philander over midwicket for a four.

In the next over, Ashwin drives Rabada through the off-side for one before Saha is beaten outside the off-stump.

Philander bowling on the stumps with an extra man at short midwicket, trying to catch Ashwin leg before wicket with his tendency to shuffle across the stumps.

Not much time left before tea and India would be hoping the two batsmen can see off the session without any more damage.

Rabada bowls a beauty to Saha, who is lucky not to have edged it as the cordon behind is interested but not the bowler.

Rabada sets him up nicely with a few outswingers but the full incoming delivery which hits Saha on the pads and the umpire rules it out leg before wicket.

Saha has a word with his partner Ashwin before they decide to take the DRS.

The ball tracker shows that it is clipping the leg stump which means the decision stays with the umpire's call.

Saha is dismissed on the stroke of tea, leg before wicket for eight, as India go into the break at 82 for seven in 29 overs, needing another 126 runs for victory.
