South Africa fielders search for ball stuck inside boundary board

By Saurabh Sharma October 04, 2019 • 00:01 AM View: 1125

Visakhapatnam, Oct 3: The first two days of the first Test between India and South Africa in Visakhapatnam was mostly dominated by the hosts' batsmen. Openers Rohit Sharma and Mayank Agarwal put up a mammoth 317 run partnership before the latter put up 50-plus stands with Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane on his way to a maiden Test double ton.

After the dismissal of Agarwal, it was all about India looking to cross 500 as quickly as possible on Day 2 and put the South Africans in for a tricky spell in the final part of the day. The usually fiery Ravindra Jadeja was playing an anchoring role as the lower middle order batsmen hit boundaries around him.
