🏏3rd ODI: South Africa vs India🏏- Page 8

Ind --18/0 in 4 overs.

Today the top order has to perform.

Lungi Ngidi to Kl Rahul.OUT

EDGED AND TAKEN! KL Rahul is sent packing early and Lungi Ngidi has the breakthrough. This is nicely bowled, a length ball which is angled in from outside off. The ball just straightens after pitching and that is what catches out Rahul. Rahul is on the back foot and looks to block it out but ends up poking at it with hard hands. The ball goes off the outside edge and Janneman Malan takes a sharp catch at first slip. South Africa off to a perfect start here.

Lungi Ngidi to Virat Kohli. He started with 4

FOUR, FOUR! That one had class written all over it. A gentle half volley, on the pads. Virat Kohli wrists it through the mid-wicket region for a boundary.

Ind --after 5.1 overs --24/1

Back from my cooking session and here KL Rahul is gone.

Virat treading carefully.. with 11 out of 19 deliveries.

Ind -- 46/1 after 9.4 overs

Reaching 50 prior to 10 overs is a good sign.
