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.
