Du Plessis out for a duck, SA in trouble

January 08, 2018 14:49

SA 82-5 (29 ovs) & 286 vs India 209 | Scorecard

Bumrah replaces Bhuvneshwar and he bowls a beauty to AB, the ball bouncing from length and moving away to hit the arm but it falls short of the keeper. The next ball is short as de Villiers cuts to the fielder at deep point for one.

De Villiers look to be positive as he did in the first innings to rally the Proteas. A short wide delivery from Shami is steered over the thirdman fence for a six before he takes a single.

Bumrah strikes with the key wicket of captain Faf du Plessis in the next over. Once again the extra bounce does the trick as du Plessis looks to poke but the ball moves away to kiss the gloves and is gobbled up by wicketkeeper Saha.

Du Plessis walks back for a duck as South Africa are reduced to 82 for five, with an overall lead of 159 runs.
