1st Test: Elgar & de Kock bring South Africa back in the game
Visakhapatnam, Oct 4: Having lost three wickets in just 20 overs on Thursday, South Africa looked down and out before a fighting century by opener Dean Elgar brought them right back into the opening Test against India at the ACA-VDCA Stadium on Friday. Playing the patience game to perfection, Elgar once again showed that there can be no substitute for patience in the longest format of the game.
At Tea, South Africa's score read 292/5 with Elgar (133) and Quinton de Kock (69) batting at the crease, having added 114 runs for the sixth wicket. While the visitors still trail by 210 runs, they are looking in a much better position as compared to the precarious 39/3 at stumps on the second day. Both the sessions have belonged to South Africa as they put on 114 runs in the opening session and 139 in the post-lunch session -- losing a wicket each in both sessions.
