India vs SA, 3rd Test Day 3 Highlights: Pant dazzles for tourists but Proteas edge closer to series triumph

0

Proteas
captain
Dean
Elgar
and
Keegan
Petersen
combined
for
a
78-run
partnership
after
tea
as
South
Africa
chased
212
to
win
the
Cape
Town
tussle
and
take
a
2-1
series
victory.

India
took
what
may
yet
be
a
priceless
wicket
with
what
proved
to
be
the
final
delivery
of
the
day,
with
Elgar
caught
down
the
leg
side
by
Pant
off
Jasprit
Bumrah,
a
review
showing
a
clear
nick.

He
fell
for
30,
with
Petersen
unbeaten
on
48
and
South
Africa
101-2,
needing
111
more
runs
to
get
over
the
line.

There
was
Test
history
made
earlier
in
the
day
as
India
were
bowled
out
for
198
in
their
second
innings,
with
Pant
making
100
not
out

described
by
India
great
Sachin
Tendulkar
on
Twitter
as
“a
simply
outstanding
knock”.

All
10
India
wickets
fell
to
catches,
just
as
they
had
in
the
first
innings.
That
meant
for
the
first
time
in
Tests,
a
team
lost
all
of
their
20
wickets
to
catches.

India
slumped
from
152-4
to
fall
short
of
200,
but
it
was
not
for
the
lack
of
trying
from
Pant,
who
scored
his
runs
from
just
139
balls,
with
six
fours
and
four
sixes.

Temba
Bavuma
almost
caught
the
wicketkeeper-batsman
on
94
when
the
left-hander
struck
powerfully
down
the
ground,
but
the
ball
squirted
through
the
fielder’s
grasp
and
ran
to
the
boundary.

He
reached
the
fourth
century
of
his
Test
career
by
tucking
away
a
single
to
long
leg
before
raising
his
bat
in
delight,
but
India,
who
began
the
day
at
57-2,
failed
to
back
up
his
efforts.
Collectively,
Pant’s
team-mates
contributed
just
70,
with
28
coming
from
extras.

Skipper
Virat
Kohli
dug
in
before
falling
to
Lungi
Ngidi
(3-21)
for
29,
having
faced
as
many
as
143
balls.
Kagiso
Rabada
took
3-53
in
another
impressive
effort
from
the
Proteas
in
the
field.


Jansen
impresses
again

Marco
Jansen,
South
Africa’s
6ft
9in
paceman,
took
4-36
in
just
his
third
Test
appearance.
Since
making
his
debut
in
the
opening
match
of
this
series,
Jansen
has
taken
19
Test
wickets
at
an
average
of
16.47.
His
pace
and
bounce
has
at
times
been
too
much
for
India,
who
are
perhaps
the
first
of
many
Test
teams
who
will
suffer
against
his
menace.


History
repeating
for
Proteas?

Cheteshwar
Pujara
fell
to
just
the
second
delivery
of
the
morning,
with
Petersen
producing
an
outstanding
catch
on
the
leap
at
leg
slip.
Now
the
safe
hands
of
Petersen
can
guide
South
Africa
towards
victory
with
the
bat.
Only
on
three
previous
occasions
have
teams
won
by
posting
a
score
of
at
least
200
in
the
fourth
innings
at
Newlands.
One
of
those
was
in
2007,
when
South
Africa
beat
India
by
five
wickets
to
clinch
a
2-1
series
win.
