Rohit, Jadeja pile on the runs

October 20, 2019 11:22

India 339-4 (83 ovs) vs SA | Scorecard

South Africa content with the spinners operating despite the second new ball being available close to the lunch interval. They could have gone for a short quick burst from their pace trio before the lunch break.

Rohit attempts to sweep Piedt but fails to make connect as the South Africans appeal for leg before wicket which is turned down. The visitors decide to review it but the ball has pitched outside the line of leg stump and they end up losing a review.

A single to Jadeja before Rohit flays a full wide delivery from the inconsistent Piedt through the covers for a four to take his score into the 180s.

Another tidy over from Linde as he concedes just two singles.

South Africa have had enough the spinners as they take the second new ball and bring back Rabada.

He starts with a full toss which Rohit gently drives through the covers for a couple. Rabada goes wide as Rohit offers no shot to the next two balls and then nearly chops the fourth ball back on to the stumps.

Rohit then brings out the flowing cover drive but Bavuma puts in the dive to save the boundary and keep it down to just a single.

The last ball is on the pads as Jadeja whips it behind square for a four.
