    "editor1": "<p>Cape Town, Jan 8 -&nbsp;South Africa reduced India to 82\/7 in their second innings at tea on the penultimate day of the opening cricket Test at Newlands here on Monday.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nStumper Wriddhiman Saha (8) perished just at the stroke of tea, even as Ravichandran Ashwin (1 not out) survived a few scary moments to head in to the break undefeated.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nLocal boy Vernon Philander led the Proteas&#39; fightback with the quick dismissals of skipper Virat Kohli (28) and his deputy Rohit Sharma (10) before Kagiso Rabada joined the party with the wickets of Saha and all-rounder Hardik Pandya (1).<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nPhilander, who had started the proceedings with the wicket of opener Murali Vijay (13), came back for his second spell to break the brief 32-run fourth wicket stand between Kohli and Sharma.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nKohli looked good during his 40-ball stay in the middle, striking four boundaries before Philander&#39;s full ball caught him plumb in line with middle.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"page-break-after:always\"><span style=\"display:none\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>In his very next over, the pacer jolted India with the wicket of Sharma, who dragged a good length delivery on to his stumps.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nReduced to 76\/5, India once again hoped for another Pandya show, similar to his 93 in the first essay, but a brilliant catch by de Villiers off Rabada proved fatal for the all-rounder.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nEarlier, India survived a few early calls before losing the opening duo of Vijay (13) and Shikhar Dhawan (16) after a 30-run stand.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nDhawan was the first one to be back in the hut after being caught at gully by substitute fielder Chris Morris off a steeply rising delivery from Morkel.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nVijay then departed while trying to defend an outswinger from Philander, only to manage an edge for de Villiers to complete the catch at third slip.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nMorkel then came back to reduce India to 39\/3 after No.3 Cheteshwar Pujara (4) nicked an almost unplayable length delivery back to the stumper Quinton de Kock.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThereafter, Kohli and Rohit joined forces to steer India&#39;s ship before Philander&#39;s twin strikes dashed their hopes.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nEarlier, Indian pacers hunted in packs to restrict the hosts to 130 in their second essay.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nResuming from Saturday&#39;s total of 65\/2 after the third day&#39;s play was completely washed out, the hosts failed to get going and could only manage to add 65 runs before losing the final eight wickets in the morning session.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nFormer skipper AB de Villiers (35) was the lone batsman offering some kind of resistance even as the Indian pacers led by Mohammed Shami (3\/28) and Jasprit Bumrah (3\/39) took full advantage of the conditions.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nBrief Scores: South Africa 286, 130 (AB de Villiers 35, Aiden Markram 34, Dean Elgar 25; Mohammed Shami 3\/28, Jasprit Bumrah 3\/39) vs India 209, 82\/7 (Virat Kohli 28, Shikhar Dhawan 16; Vernon Philander 3\/22, Morne Morkel 2\/29, Kagiso Rabada 2\/30).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>IANS<\/p>\r\n",
