Thanks for the tag Madhuri.

Book marking the thread.

India 1st Innings score --- 202 from 63.1 overs. 

South  Africa 1st innings --- 191/7, 70 overs  

Shardul Thakur takes his fifth wicket as he punishes Temba Bavuma for moving across. Bavuma, who just reached his half-century, lost his wicket while trying to glance it fine as he edges the ball to Rishabh Pant, who dives to his left and plucks the ball out.  

Shardul Thakur receives thundering applauses from former cricketers Vinod Kambli and Wasim Jaffer. 

When Indian seamers were struggling in the 3rd session of day 1 and 1st hour of day 2, none other than lord Shardul Thakur got 3 quick wickets and balanced the match for team India. This will boost Shami, Siraj and Bumrah. #AbkiJeetHaiPakki #SAvIND #WTC23

Lunch Break.  Day two in Johannesburg, Shardul Thakur's triple strike puts India in charge.

Well, it is pay back time.

South Africa is 203 for 7.  Leading by just 1 run.

India must not let them get away.  They need to get the rest of them out in may be 20 or so runs.

Cheers..

Welcome back for the final session of Day 2. Both South Africa batters Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj walk out in the middle and the hosts are only 1 run lead. With 3 wickets still in hand, SA will look to get  a good total whereas the visitors will hope that it's not too many. In that sense, it's an interesting session. 

SA  1st innings---212/7 (74.5)

SA lost their 8th wicket. 

217/8 --76 overs. 

South Africa 217 for 8.

Shardul Thakur got 5 wickets.

Cheers..
