IND V SA: Elgar And De Zorzi Take Proteas To 49/1 After Rahul’s Fantastic Ton Leads India To 245
De Zorzi: Dean Elgar and Tony de Zorzi survived a spell of menacing bowling from India to take South Africa to 49/1 in 16 overs at lunch on day two’s play in the first Test at SuperSport Park on Wednesday. As of now, South Africa trail India by 196 runs after KL Rahul’s fantastic 101 took India to a respectable 245 in their first innings.
Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj were menacing in the first hour of South Africa’s innings, finding the swing to trouble Elgar and Aiden Markram. Siraj drew the first blood by removing Markram in the fourth over with a jaffa of an outswinger to depart for just five.
Elgar and de Zorzi played the ball late with soft hands to take boundaries off Siraj, showing the resolve to grind it out in tough conditions. Elgar, playing his last Test series, feasted on a half-volley from debutant Prasidh Krishna to sweetly drive through cover and went on to elegantly pull and poke late to end the session on a high for South Africa.
