2nd Test: Mukesh, Bumrah Strike As South Africa Trail India By 36 Runs As 23 Wickets Fall In A Day
Newlands Cricket Ground: Fast-bowlers Mukesh Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah made three strikes collectively to give India a slight edge to leave South Africa at 62/3 in 17 overs as the hosts’ still trail the visitors’ by 36 runs at stumps on day one of second Test at Newlands Cricket Ground on Wednesday.
It was an exhilarating day of Test cricket where an astonishing 23 wickets fell in a single day’s play. Mohammed Siraj first took a fiery, career-best 6-15 to bowl out South Africa for just 55 in first innings. India took the lead and were comfortably placed at 153/4, before suffering a sensational collapse, losing six wickets for just zero runs to be out on that score.
Aiden Markram and Dean Elgar hit six boundaries in 9.3 overs to get South Africa’s second innings going. But in the next over, Elgar poked at one outside the off-stump off Mukesh Kumar and nicked to first slip, dismissed for 12 off 28 balls in what was his final innings in international cricket.
