Bhuvi, Shami lead India's late charge to push lead

January 26, 2018 19:52

India 247 (80.1 ovs) & 187 vs SA 194 | Scorecard

India are all out for 247 in the 2nd innings. They have a 240-run lead and have set the hosts an improbable target of 241 to win this 3rd Test.

With the pitch behaving as it is, it will take a herculean effort from the hosts to go past the target and inflict a series sweep.

Philander is brought into the attack and does the job to end India's innings. Bumrah swings his arm blindly and the ball hits the toe-end of his bat.

The ball goes aerial and goes straight into Rabada's palms at mid-off.

Morkel continues and Ishant tries to go after everything, but makes no connection.

And that is a maiden.

Ngidi continues and Ishant smacks him through the cover region for a four.

Ishant then plays the ball for a couple and then a single.

Bumrah then safely sees off the next two deliveries as India's lead goes up to 240.

Bumrah comes in to bat.

Off the third ball he faces, gets hit on the shoulder! Smack!

That is a wicket-maiden.

Morkel is brought back in the attack and strikes!

He gets the prized catch of Bhuvneshwar, who is caught behind off the second ball of the over. The ball jumps on the batsman, who gets a faint edge, handing an easy catch to De Kock.

He goes for a well-made 33.

Ngidi continues and that is two runs come off the over.

Rabada continues and bowls continuous short balls and that is a maiden.
