Linde out for 27; South Africa 6 down

October 21, 2019 16:27

SA 67-6 (29 ovs) f/o & 162 vs India 497-9 | Scorecard

No taking chances for Piedt against Shami as he plays out another maiden over from the fast bowler.

Linde gives Nadeem the charge as he drives him to long-on for one before Piedt tries the slog sweep but misses out.

Off-spinner Ashwin comes into the attack as Shami gets a break. The first ball keeps low as Linde is beaten and wicketkeeper Saha also sustains a painful blow on his fingers.

Saha has to walk back to the dressing room as substitute Rishabh Pant comes out to take over the gloves.

Linde looks to slash Ashwin but ends up carving it over the covers for a single and Piedt defends the last three balls.

Another tidy over from Nadeem as Linde takes one before Piedt defends the rest of the over.

Again just when the partnership was sort of building, India make the breakthrough as debutant Nadeem attacks the ball from square leg and gets the direct hit to run out Linde for 27.

Concussion substitute Theunis de Bruyn comes out to bat at No 8 in place of Elgar, who sustained a blow on his helmet.
