SA lost four crucial middle order wickets during the second session as they struggled to cope with India’s seam movement and occasional swing on day 3 of the first Test at SuperSport Park in Centurion.
After the dismissal of Petersen, India suffered an injury blow when fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah limped off the field having twisted his ankle, but he returned to the game before the tea break.
It could have got worse a few balls later but KL Rahul, who was positioned at third slip, could not hold on to an edged ball by De Kock off the bowling of Mohammed Siraj. During the first session, Lungi Ngidi and Kagiso Rabada led the fight back as SA claimed seven wickets in 55 balls in a successful period of one-and-half hours.
