Shami and Umesh strike early

October 21, 2019 14:02

SA 10-1 (2 ovs) & 162 vs India 497-9 | Scorecard

Dean Elgar and Quinton de Kock walk out to open the batting for South Africa, who will be looking to end the series on a high with a good partnership.

De Kock looks in a rush as he throws his bat at a wide full delivery from Mohammed Shami and the edge flies over the slips for a four. He learns from his mistake as he offers no shot to the next two deliveries and then ducks under a short ball before taking a single.

Umesh Yadav strikes with the first delivery of the second over. The full delivery breaks through de Kock's defences to crash into the stumps as the opener walks back for five.

What a dream start for India in the second innings and once again it is the fiery pace of Umesh which does the trick.

Zubayr Hamza walks in at No.3. A loose shot from the right-hander as he plays an uppish drive to mid-off before a short ball keeps low and wicketkeeper Saha fails to collect it, to give away a bye.

A good bouncer to Elgar as the left-hander ducks under it. The next ball is full and on the leg stump and Elgar gets a leading trying to clip it on the leg side as it flies through the vacant third slip region for a four to get the left-hander off the dreaded pair.
