India just about mirrored their exploits of the morning in the middle session on the first day of the second Test at the Wanderers on Monday.
The tourists were 146/5 at tea as they continued to struggle to come to terms with the, at times, exaggerated bounce the SA attack was able to extract from the Wanderers pitch.
Rahul, man of the match in the first Test, batted with considerably more restraint, having the added burden of stepping into the breach for injured captain Virat Kohli. The same applied to Rahul who dug in even deeper, only to get out tamely. Having reached his 50 off 128 deliveries he took on a Marco Jansen bouncer and was fabulously caught by Rabada at fine leg.
Another short one from Olivier had Pujara caught at backward point by Temba Bavuma before another stalwart short of runs, Ajinkya Rahane, was out next ball.
