Rahane out for 115; India 4 down

October 20, 2019 10:57

India 306-4 (76 ovs) vs SA | Scorecard

Rohit taps Piedt on the off-side for a single before Rahane comes down the track and lofts the spinner back over his head for a four.

Rahane, on 105, again skips down the track and is beaten by one which goes straight on but debutant wicketkeeper Heinrich Klaasen misses an easy stumping.

That wicket would have been a big relief for the Proteas and also for Peidt, who has had a rough time in the series so far.

It is very easy batting for the two Indians batsmen against the spinners as they easily collect three singles from Linde's next over.

Piedt goes wide as Rohit flays it square on the off-side for a four and then takes a single through midwicket.

Rahane continues to give Piedt the charge as he smashes the spinner over midwicket for a four. The next ball is lofted inside out over the covers for another boundary as the two batsmen continue to toy with the spinners.

14 runs from the Piedt over as India go past the 300-run mark, in the 75th over. The off-spinner has once struggled, conceding 69 runs from his nine overs.

Linde makes the breakthrough in the next over with the wicket of Rahane, who is caught behind for 115. The right-hander tries to run it fine on the off-side but the ball bounces quite steeply and takes the edge to be caught behind by Klaasen.

Rahane played a huge role in India's revival in the company of Rohit after a few early wickets as they put on 267 runs for the fourth wicket.

A huge relief for South Africa and delight for Linde as he bags his first wicket in Test.

Ravindra Jadeja walks in at No 6 as Linde gets one to turn sharply into the left-hander, who does well keep it out.
