1st Test: South Africa v India

219 - 5 after 76 overs

75.3

Kallis to Kohli, what a way to go! Kohli is absolutely gutted as he drives the ball straight to Duminy,

who wasn't entirely sure if that was out. "Catch," he asks.

So against the run of play was that dismissal.

A slower ball and Kohli was onto his drive a little too early and the ball simply lobbed to cover

I think same score for 3 wicket would have been an Indian day. Cannot help but think the Indians gifted their wickets.

Dahwan needs to learn to duck the ball and the run out of a well set Pujara was horrendous.

The Indians approached this as a Test match as it is. Interesting to see how they get on tomorrow as 350 is no good, but would be the best 'average' first innings score on this ground, I believe.

Kohli is such a class act. I think 350 is just about par tbh. And India bats deep, so there's still time.
There's no demons in the pitch. But again, this is SA we're talking about. Lets see. It's almost an even day thanks to Kohli - but slightly favoring SA IMO.
