IND V SA: Elgar’s 185, Jansen’s Unbeaten Fifty Pushes South Africa Into Ascendancy Against India
Opener Dean Elgar: Opener Dean Elgar scored a majestic 185 while all-rounder Marco Jansen smashed an unbeaten half-century as the duo pushed South Africa into ascendancy with dominating batting display on day three of first Test against India at SuperSport Park on Thursday.
At lunch, South Africa are 392/7 in 100 overs, and have a healthy lead of 147 runs over India. Jansen is unbeaten on 72, his best-ever Test score, in an innings where he mixed sharp driving shots with good judgement to hit nine fours and a six, and has company of Kagiso Rabada, who’s at one not out.
For India, it was a listless session of lacklustre bowling, inconsistencies in lengths, which allowed Elgar and Jansen to put a stand of 111 runs for the seventh wicket under sunny sky. The listlessness reflected in India’s fielding and when the session ended, their body language was deflating and showed lack of enthusiasm.
