In the ongoing test match between India & South Africa at Johannesburg, India was bowled out for 202 in the first innings. However, Indian bowlers have made a sort of comeback as they restricted South Africa to 191/7 at the end of session 2. Although at one time South Africa was lagging way behind, then vice-captain Temba Bavuma stepped up and powered his team with a quick fifty.

Bavuma was batting comfortably until he had to deal with Shardul Thakur. Temba Bavuma switched gears as he smacked Ravi Ashwin for a four and a six. In the next over itself, being bowled by Shardul, Bavuma smacked another four to reach his half-century; and on the next ball by Lord Thakur, Bavuma lost his wicket.

Shardul Thakur was bowling in a rhythm where most batters would try to get through with the over quietly but Temba Bavuma came down the track to smack a big shot but gave away his wicket. After this dismissal, Bavuma's face had an understandably disappointing performance as he was playing well and should've continued. 

While talking about the match, South Africa are at 220/8 with a lead of 18 runs. Marco Jensen & Duanne Olivier are at the crease for the hosts. While Shardul has completed his 5-fer.
