Centurion Test: Sam Curran's four-fer reduces South Africa to 277/9

By Saurabh Sharma December 27, 2019 • 10:08 AM View: 980

Centurion, Dec 27: England all-rounder Sam Curran returned with career-best figures of 4/57 while Stuart Broad scalped three wickets for 52 to reduce hosts South Africa to 277/9 even as Quinton de Kock played a valiant 95-run knock on the opening day of the first Test of the four-match series at the SuperSport Park here on Thursday.

South Africa were reeling at 111/5 at one stage before de Kock's gritty innings repaired the early damage. The Proteas stumper and debutant Dwaine Pretorius' were involved in a crucial 87-run partnership for the sixth wicket and the duo tried their best to frustrate the England bowlers Curran and Broad who struck in the last session of the day.
