Transcript
00:30Very good cricket in recent times.
00:31Now the toss a little while ago.
00:33Temba Bhavuma won a toss.
00:35Shuman Gill still can't win one.
00:37And no surprise at all that he's chosen to bat.
00:41And it's time here in Kolkata to say a very good morning to Sunil Gavaskar and first of all, Sean Pollock.
00:53Good carry.
00:54All right, Polly, you were down by the pitch early on.
01:00You saw a little bit of grass, but a lot of dry patches.
01:05Oh, well, well, well.
01:07Quite apart from the fact that that's run away for four byes.
01:11Rishabh Pant is not the only one perplexed.
01:14Siraj.
01:16First boundary.
01:17Little bit of room.
01:18Rickleton loves playing shots.
01:25Beautiful down the ground now.
01:28This is a good start for Rickleton.
01:31Now through the onside.
01:36Jeez, timing the ball well.
01:38Rickleton.
01:39Come back for two.
01:41They will then trot across for a third.
01:44It's a good over this for South Africa.
01:50More runs, more runs.
01:51Siraj has been a bit generous today.
01:54Again, a little bit of width.
01:59Nice way to get out of the mark.
02:01Finally for Markram.
02:03This time, Siraj is on being full.
02:09Now through the offside.
02:10He just floated up.
02:13He's in no rhythm at all, Mohamed Siraj.
02:1625 of his three overs in South Africa.
02:18On to a good start.
02:1931 for no loss.
02:20That's good batting.
02:29Use the crease well to get back.
02:31And use the pace.
02:34It's a big help.
02:37That's gone through.
02:40So runs coming thick and fast here.
02:42Ready boundaries.
02:45Being hit by both the batsmen.
02:46And I didn't even tickle Mohamed Dasman that day.
02:54Another boundary.
02:55Again in that third man area.
02:58Scoreboard motoring along.
03:0047 for no loss.
03:03They're getting it pretty straight.
03:05Rishabh Pant missing that.
03:06And then if it misses, you can say bye-bye.
03:10Because the ball is straight on to the boundary holdings yet again.
03:1350 partnership comes up as well.
03:15Oh, beautiful shot this.
03:20This is good positive batting.
03:25Just a flick of the wrist and ball's gone over the rope.
03:31That's hit timber.
03:32A special from Jaspreet Bumbra.
03:40And it needed a beauty to get rid of Rickleton.
03:46So good start for South Africa.
03:49Rickleton dismissed with a beauty for 23.
03:52Again, the place went excellent from Mark 1.
04:00He's very positive.
04:05Oh, he's gone there.
04:07Absolute beauty.
04:09That's just taken off after pitching.
04:13So two gems from Jaspreet Bumbra.
04:15And now both the openers have been dismissed.
04:22The last of the South African batters to go.
04:24Aidan Markram makes a well-made 31.
04:2762 for two.
04:32Taken, is it?
04:33Taken.
04:34Temba is walking.
04:35And it's Kuldi Bjada who strikes.
04:37Player of the match in the last game.
04:40There was this feeling that maybe he might not turn up today in that playing 11.
04:45But he does.
04:46And he picks up the South African captain.
04:48Have a look at that.
04:49A little bit of turn.
04:51And straight down to that fielder at the backward short leg.
04:58Excellent stuff that from the bowler.
05:01And super stuff from the captain.
05:04The South African captain's gone for three in a total of 71.
05:08Wonderful shot.
05:12It was presented.
05:14And that's what he has done today.
05:16Mohamed Siraj.
05:16Not hit the pitch with any sort of vigor.
05:20And this two was floated up.
05:24Two full.
05:25And it's been driven sumptuously.
05:27Evian Mulder.
05:31The batter.
05:3282 for three.
05:37Ah, he used his feet brilliantly.
05:39That's one way of breaking the stranglehold that the spinners were starting to get.
05:43I mean, that's a thick outside edge.
05:48It's going to run away for four.
05:50It's well bowled.
05:51A little victory for the bowler.
05:57That looks very close.
05:59Gaffney says, yes, that's straight in front.
06:02Vian Mulder has played this shot quite a few times.
06:04And now he's been given out by umpire Chris.
06:13Discussions happening.
06:15They've gone for the DRS.
06:18It's time for the IDFC First Bank DRS.
06:23Ball tracking coming now.
06:25Pitching in line.
06:26Impact in line.
06:28Rickets hitting.
06:30Chris Stavion original decision of out.
06:32Stand by.
06:37On screen.
06:38Signal now.
06:39Very interesting.
06:41Vian Mulder went for the DRS.
06:42But as soon as the first replay was given, he started walking.
06:45He knew it was plumb in front.
06:47He goes for 24.
06:48South Africa 114.
06:50For four.
06:54Looks very straight.
06:56Very anticlimactic to a point.
06:59And yet again, Bumrah gets a wicket for India.
07:03Tony DeZorzi struck.
07:06Are they going to be taking the DRS?
07:08Having the discussion right now.
07:12Yes, they are.
07:17Pitching outside off.
07:19Impact in line.
07:20Wickets hitting.
07:21Rod Stavion original decision of out.
07:24Stand by.
07:27On screen.
07:28Signal now.
07:30South Africa in a bit of trouble now.
07:33120 for five.
07:35Yorker straight up.
07:38Big appeal.
07:40Rod Chaka says now.
07:45What a first ball to get.
07:48If you were a batter, that was a ball that had night marathon all over it.
07:53Oh, that's gone through.
07:58Didn't pick it.
08:07Just a gentle push.
08:09Such a quick outfield, this.
08:12This races away into the fence.
08:13Full toss.
08:18Put away.
08:20Attempted Yorker.
08:23Not quite getting it right.
08:25And a boundary to end the over.
08:26136 for five.
08:30Oh, that might be close.
08:32Bad first.
08:32Finger goes up.
08:36Shuman Gill has persevered with Mohamed Siraj.
08:40Now, is there an edge somewhere?
08:45Is there an edge somewhere?
08:46I think it was bad first.
08:51Ball tracking coming up now.
08:52Pitching outside off.
08:53Impact in line.
08:54Wickets hitting.
08:56Rod Stavion original decision of out.
08:59Stand by.
09:00146 for six.
09:05Oh, well, balled by Mohamed Siraj.
09:07This is a wonderful spell.
09:12The last two or three overs, Siraj has shown why he's so liked, so admired, and so rated.
09:21Just getting a bit lazy with that footwork with his hands.
09:25Very slow to come down.
09:27And that's exactly what Mohamed Siraj has exploited.
09:31A big yawning gap between the bat and the pad.
09:34The ball tailing.
09:36And crashing into timber.
09:38It's a brilliant work from Mohamed Siraj.
09:41And the seventh wicket down for South Africa.
09:43Marco Jansson goes for a knot.
09:45147 for seven.
09:51Loud shout.
09:52The finger goes up.
09:53He took his time.
09:54The umpire.
09:55No reviews left for the South African team.
09:59So the batsman will have to depart.
10:03And we said before, he brings the leg before into play.
10:06He looks for that front pad.
10:08He's eventually found it.
10:11And the umpire has ruled in his favor.
10:13So on the stroke of tee, India strike again.
10:16You can see that he was hit on the inside part of that front pair.
10:23And therefore, the ball would have crashed onto the leg stump.
10:26The umpire took his time.
10:28And understandably.
10:32Wicket to Akshar Patel.
10:33Just on the dock of tee.
10:39So Bosch is gone for three.
10:41South Africa have lost their eighth wicket for 154.
10:44And as happens sometimes, you try to leave and you get a bit of connection.
10:54The ball goes to the third man boundary.
10:56Almost all the boundaries scored of Boomer have gone.
10:58Oh, well, ball.
11:04Jaspreet Bumrah is always attacking the stumps.
11:07He's got a serious relationship with the stumps.
11:11And now he knocks it over.
11:14Let's see if it goes underneath the bat.
11:16Yeah, straight underneath the bat.
11:18Nothing he can do about that.
11:20And Jaspreet Bumrah, we've said he's back.
11:22He's got the right.
11:23He's earned the right to try and get far.
11:24Well, he's got four now.
11:27One more to go with just Kesha Mawaraj going to come to the crease.
11:30159 for nine.
11:31Harmer goes for five.
11:35There's the Yorker.
11:37Big appeal.
11:38Finger goes up.
11:39Bumrah gets five.
11:41Five for 27 to the great man.
11:4616 times he gets five in an innings.
11:49South Africa winning the toss.
11:51Deciding to bat first.
11:52A balled out for 159.
11:56There was some concern.
11:58It's a straggendant of surfaces.
12:00He just keeps knocking people over for fun.
12:04And he's now finished with five for 27.
12:07Let's have a look at it.
12:09Front foot planted.
12:10Oh, that one might have just been sliding down.
12:12Probably he will make contact with the legs down.
12:15But on that angle, that's maybe why Kesha Mawaraj was shaking his head.
12:18He was hoping to be able to review it and see if it hits.
12:21But anyway, it doesn't matter.
12:22Innings is finished.
12:24Indian coach and captain are very happy.
12:27And 159 after losing the toss and being asked to bowl first.
12:31They were 57 for no loss.
12:33Then lost all their vickets for just 102.
12:37Markham for 31.
12:38Rickleton 23.
12:39Mulder 24.
12:40Dazor C24.
12:44Stubbs got in but ran out of partners.
12:46Verena 16.
12:48But thereafter, Boomer just went through everybody.
12:51And you can see the double blows.
12:52Two at the top, one in the middle, and then two at the back end.
12:54That's what proper fast bowlers do.
12:56They destroy opening lineups.
12:58And they wrap up tails.
13:03Early wise there, we can see five for 27.
13:06Head and shoulders above anything else.
13:08Suraj was good in his latter spells.
13:10Struggled a bit up front and then came back and bounced back with good.
13:13Picking up two wickets.
13:15Axel ball with good control.
13:16One for 21.
13:18Kuldeep was probably the pick of the spinners.
13:20Two for 36.
13:21Tadeja and Washington Sunda underused or utilized in this innings.
13:25I'm sure we'll see a lot more of them from them in South Africa's second innings.
13:29Marko Jansson to Jaiswal.
13:30Three slips and a gully and a point.
13:39One thing I would say about Marko Jansson,
13:41this is only his second test match in the subcontinent.
13:44He played his first against Pakistan a few weeks back.
13:49Raul is off the mark.
13:51The biggest eye-opener for us coming to India for the first time in that series was
13:58Sachin Tinduka got out in Mumbai.
14:05So he's off the mark.
14:08And with a boundary.
14:11Fractionally overpitched and just stroking it.
14:17Nicely punched.
14:18Second boundary for Jaiswal.
14:24Second boundary for Jaiswal.
14:29Again driven.
14:30Bates mid-off.
14:35Three times now he's found the boundary.
14:39The last couple of ovals, Jaiswal.
14:43Just like that.
14:47He's found one.
14:49It's a drag onto the stumps, but he's pulled his length back a little bit as Marko Jansson.
14:53He's been bowling well.
14:55Jaiswal's looked to get some runs.
14:57Looked to get his innings going.
14:58And he's dragged one back onto the stumps.
15:00The India have lost their first wicket.
15:02Just pulling back his length, forcing him to play off the back foot.
15:07And that delivery a little too close to him.
15:09You can see the bat coming down at an angle, taking the inside edge, getting it back onto the stumps.
15:14This is South Africa.
15:20Get their first wicket.
15:23And Jaiswal, who is just beginning to look good, dismissed for 12.
15:29And India, 18 for 1.
15:30Beautifully caressed to the covers.
15:36Doubt you'll chase that down.
15:37We've seen a quick outfield the whole day.
15:46Shot.
15:47Beats the fielder for four.
15:5048 balls since the last boundary.
15:58Nice shot.
15:58Just a single that ends the over.
16:0120 gone.
16:03It's 37 for 1.
16:08Now once again, the umpires will have a discussion.
16:12This time, Simon Harmer's very keen to bowl.
16:15He's rushed to the umpire with his cap.
16:21That's it for the day.
16:23Well, not strictly, because if the light improves, they can come back.
16:26But I don't see it improving.
16:28So that's it, I'm afraid.
16:34A day that the bowlers would love.
16:3711 wickets to the bowlers.
16:39We had 77 overs bowled.
16:41And just 196 runs scored in the entire day.
16:48What stood out for you?
16:49Dale, stay in Dinesh Karthik.
16:52And this is where the test match stands after day one South Africa.
16:55Winning the toss, batting first, wouldn't be too happy.
16:571.49 they got, thanks to a masterclass from Jasmit Umra.
17:005 for 27.
17:02In reply, India 37 for 1.
17:04Rahul and Washington at crease.
17:111.
17:122.
