Eden Garden's pitch never behaved like this!!

1st test between India and SA will end tomorrow on 3rd day itself. Poor pitch is the player of the match 😀.

1st Test Day 3: It is proving to be a tough affair for batters in the ongoing opening Test between India and South Africa at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Temba Bavuma (29*) and Corbin Bosch (1*) will resume batting for the visitors on Day 3, hoping to take the South African second innings past 100 runs. The Proteas had a disastrous showing with the bat on Day 2, reaching 93/7 in 35 overs in their second innings and have a lead of 63 runs. The pitch has been a mystery for batters in this Test match. For pacers, there has been uneven bounce which keeps them interested. For spinners, there is plenty of turn and bounce. India began Day 2 at 37/1 in their first innings. KL Rahul and Washington Sundar took the score to 75 with ease, before Simon Harmer was introduced into the attack. He beat Sundar with his first ball and then sent Rahul packing with the second. Gill came in, and soon left with a neck spasm.

1st Test Day 3: Bavuma looks to frustrate IND

Bavuma is the only SA batter to get to 20s. Four batters ot single-digit scores, and the rest got scores below 13. Huge day ahead for both India and South Africa. The Indian bowlers will look to remove the remaining batters fast. Meanwhile, Bavuma and Bosch will look to frustrate India.

I will miss the first 1 or 2 hours of the play. hope it goes beyond that. I will come back later.

Cheers...

Captain ko nikalo bhai

Bumrah to Corbin Bosch, out Bowled!! Bumrah with the magic ball and the stubborn partnership has been broken - Bosch will feel unlucky though, this doesn't bounce a lot and you're always in trouble if the line is accurate enough - nips back from a length and crashes past Bosch's lazy looking waft, the off-stump takes a beating and India have their 8th wicket. Handy little knock from Bosch, but his team needed more from him. Corbin Bosch b Bumrah 25(37) [4s-2 6s-1]

Bumrah to Corbin Bosch, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

Overs to first wicket in each day’s play

Sujoy: This innings by Temba is a masterclass in batting on a treacherous pitch.
