Resuming the day at 17/1, Jasprit Bumrah struck on the second ball of the day as Aiden Markram was left thinking of his choices with arms raised up and stumps shattered

Overnight batter Keshav Maharaj had to survive a terrific opening spell by Bumrah and Mohammad Shami along with new batter Petersen. Both Bumrah and Shami kept inducing a false shot but couldn't find the edge. 

Umesh Yadav, in his second over of the spell, finally got rid of Maharaj with a Jaffa that sent the stumps cartwheeling

Petersen was joined by Rassie van der Dussen at the crease. Petersen was playing a weird knock where he kept playing a false shot every four delivery but survived; in total, he played 23 false shots in 86 balls in the first session. Every bowler he faced, Petersen kept playing and missing but also struck seven boundaries of the balls that were too full. 

With some luck and solid batting, Petersen and Van der Dussen went back to the pavilion at the end of the session with 100 runs on the board.
