Pune Test: Faf goes, leaves SA in tatters at Tea

By Vishal Bhagat October 12, 2019 • 15:06 PM View: 716

Pune, Oct 12 Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin removed Faf Du Plessis before Vernon Philander and Keshav Maharaj showed some semblance of a fight as South Africa reached 197/8, still 404 runs behind at Tea on Day 3 of the ongoing second Test here on Saturday.

Skipper du Plessis scored 64 from 117 balls, his 21st Test fifty, with the help of six fours and a six before Ashwin found his outside edge and the ball flew to Ajinkya Rahane at slip.
