Transcript
00:00Home team India being led for the first time by Rishabh Pant in the absence of Shrippan
00:15Gill taking on the reigning world test champion South Africa.
00:22It was South Africa winning the toss again and letting to back first.
00:27It's time to say good morning to Sean Pollock and Dinesh Karthik.
00:34Here we go, Jasweth Bumrah to Aidan Markham, three slip and a gully.
00:43A lot of lateral movement, lets that one go.
00:49First runs.
00:52Given his buys, there's nothing much Rishabh could have done about that.
00:57Way down Lexai, that's wayward.
01:02Oh, buys given, that is so unfair.
01:08Oh, beautiful delivery that one.
01:18That's nicely punched.
01:19And the first boundary.
01:24He's been watchful up to now.
01:26Aidan Markham.
01:30Oh, he's got that.
01:32He is drifting onto the pads.
01:36Markham putting that away.
01:37All he needed to do was get some bat on it.
01:43That's through.
01:47What he's done well.
01:49Last half an hour.
01:50So he's played with soft hands.
01:54He's allowed the ball to come on to the band.
01:55Driven nicely.
01:59Consecutive boundaries here.
02:02And a nice way to end the first half for South Africa.
02:05They've done well not to lose a wicket.
02:10Down the leg side, another boundary for Rickleton.
02:13Rickleton ends the over at Leclan's 39 without Lost South Africa.
02:19To go on with the arm for the lefties.
02:23Turn possibly for the first time.
02:26Lucky Rickleton to get a boundary but that'll keep Washington interested.
02:30Down the leg side, easy boundary for Aidan Markham.
02:40Straying down the leg side, Nitish Kumar ready.
02:43Easy runs this for South Africa.
02:48Class from Aidan Markham.
02:51Trademark Aidan Markham cover drive.
02:54Second boundary in the over.
02:55Oh, nicely driven.
03:01And it's a very good shot.
03:08Just work with the bottom hand there to get it into the gap.
03:12And into the fence.
03:20Found him.
03:22Right through his defense.
03:23And the champion-class bowler has done it again.
03:29Brought in for that one-over to end the session.
03:33And he's rattled the timber.
03:38Took him a ball or two to find his radar.
03:40But Jasper Bumra on the money.
03:44A slight inside edge there by Aidan Markham.
03:46You can see how upset he is.
03:47One of the rare full deliveries we've seen from Bumra.
03:52I'd like to see exactly where that pitch is.
03:55Probably a foot or two fuller than he's gone so far this over and so far this innings.
04:00But he's found a way to get through the defense of Aidan Markham.
04:06India picked up their first wicket.
04:08South Africa going to tee at 82 for one.
04:14Beautifully bowled.
04:15Beautifully bowled.
04:16And it's strike number two.
04:18Kuldi Biazda with his bag of tricks gets rid of Ryan Rickleton.
04:24Just watched this go by.
04:26There's lots of width in it.
04:27I suppose it was the length that drew him in.
04:29Thought he could just drive it.
04:31But what a good catch by Rashid Punt.
04:33Just moving to his left.
04:36A bit of movement.
04:38And the change of ends has worked for Kuldi Biazda.
04:40No doubt about the edge.
04:42You can see at this stage the gloves nowhere in the picture.
04:46And there's the bare facts for Ryan Rickleton.
04:50Disappointment.
04:51South Africa.
04:5282 without loss.
04:5382 for two.
04:55We were chatting.
04:56The last thing I was asking about who's number three.
04:58That's nicely played.
04:59They've got men up.
05:00And this is what we ask for.
05:02Initially when you come into the crease.
05:04Have the two men up.
05:09It's got that fine.
05:12And went after that.
05:13Another short ball attempted by Siraj.
05:18Oh, that's a fine shot.
05:20Really good shot.
05:21And total control.
05:25Consecutive boundaries to end the over.
05:271.13 for two.
05:28That's up in the air.
05:33And that will clear the fence.
05:36Yes, got enough bat on it.
05:39And the first six of the game.
05:44Nicely played.
05:46What was so good was how much he waited on it.
05:49Knew where the gap was.
05:51That was nicely played.
05:55That will race away for four.
05:58Very quick to get into position.
06:05Lovely.
06:06As easy as you like it.
06:08Didn't try and force the issue.
06:10And that will go for four.
06:11In the air.
06:15Taken.
06:17Precisely the reason why Midov needs to be up.
06:20And a smart catch by Yesha Svejaiswal.
06:24Had to dive in front.
06:26Pretty low.
06:27A half hit from Temba Bhavuma.
06:29Trying to take that infield.
06:31And India get their third wicket.
06:34But this time doesn't get the elevation.
06:36Contact wasn't too bad.
06:38There you go.
06:39I think he was looking to go squarer.
06:40That stage he's going.
06:41Please don't carry.
06:43And that's a nice catch.
06:44Diving forward by Yesha Svejaiswal.
06:46And important.
06:49After the lunch break.
06:50India were desperate for a breakthrough.
06:51They had a half chance of the run out chance.
06:54But now they've got the big wicket of Temba Bhavuma.
06:56Goes for 41.
06:56166 for three.
07:01Oh.
07:02Easily throw the offside.
07:04On a previous occasion we saw Temba Bhavuma.
07:06But this time it's the tall Tristan Stops.
07:12Oh.
07:13Down the track.
07:14That's a good strike.
07:17Goes the distance.
07:19Very quick on his feet to come down.
07:23A taken.
07:25False ball of a new spell.
07:28Bounce for Kuldepe Adov.
07:30And a good sharp catch in the slips.
07:33Good change.
07:34Have a look at Kael Rahul here.
07:35That ball went quickly.
07:37Playing with hard hands Tristan Stops.
07:39Nice position from Kael Rahul.
07:42Completely in control.
07:43He got good vision of the ball as well.
07:44Kuldepe Adov picks up a second.
07:47India needed that.
07:52Tristan Stops.
07:56Goes for 49.
07:571-8-7 for four.
07:58Oh that's good.
08:04That's just shows you how good a surface this is now.
08:07Can hit through the line.
08:13Another good shot.
08:15Powerfully struck this time.
08:16That's in the air.
08:23Straight.
08:24Down the throat of Midov.
08:26Kuldepe strikes again.
08:29Jess Wall making no mistake.
08:33He'll be just throwing this one up a little bit.
08:36Enticing Bjorn Milder to have a go.
08:38You can see the disappointment in his face.
08:39Straight away.
08:41Midov and Miron are up.
08:42Runs are difficult to come by throughout the day.
08:46Traditional cricket.
08:47Almost have to be patient.
08:49Play the patience game.
08:51Not today for Bjorn Milder.
08:53He's gone for 13.
08:54South Africa or 201 for five.
08:58Looks to sweep and executes really well.
09:00That's gone fine.
09:01He could pick himself up a boundary here.
09:02Mutasami.
09:04Get himself off the mark.
09:05And he does indeed.
09:06Oh, that's beautifully played.
09:10Just a slight drag down.
09:11We showed that pitch map.
09:13There hasn't been too many of these from Kuldeep.
09:15And DeZorzi recognizes it.
09:17And hammers it away.
09:21Given some air and driven hard through the covers.
09:23They won't chase that one down either.
09:25So it's been a nice productive over this for DeZorzi.
09:27So far.
09:32That's a lovely shot.
09:34Waited on it.
09:35And has found the gap.
09:40That's a glorious hit.
09:43First ball of the over.
09:45And straight out of the middle of the bat.
09:50Oh, wow.
09:53That is a tremendous shot.
09:57Out at edge and taken.
10:02That is a brilliant catch behind this stance.
10:08And the partnership's broken.
10:17And the second new ball has done the trick.
10:20Fantastic scene by Mohamed Siraj.
10:23A little feel by Tony DeZorzi.
10:25And a great catch by Rashad Pant.
10:28They've been out there all day of India.
10:31A slight hand gesture by DeZorzi to the pitch.
10:39Fought extremely hard for his 28 or 59 deliveries.
10:44But that's the end of Tony DeZorzi.
10:46South Africa 246 for 6.
10:48But if the game's called off now.
10:54Oh, it is stumps.
10:55They have called stumps.
10:56So they're taking the benchmark.
10:58That's the reason the light meter's out.
11:00And this benchmark, which they'll have right now when they check the light,
11:04stays for the rest of the test match.
11:06But someone like DeZorzi would be really, really upset about this.
11:11Just a couple of deliveries.
11:14The wicket fell.
11:16And the day's called.
11:21A 247 for 6.
11:23That's what South Africa's got.
11:25The end of day one.
11:36A 247 for 5.
11:54A 237 for 8.
12:00A 247 for 7.
