Dean Elgar is one tough batter and he showed when he guided South Africa to breach India's Fortress Wanderers through his unbeaten 96 on day 4 of the 2nd test.
The Judgement day began five and half hours late due to consistent rains, keeping the conditions overcast which was suitable for the bowlers. But South Africa had already played out 40 overs on day 3 and took the shine off the ball.
When the weather finally settled on day 4, India had to bowl a 40-over-old ball on a freshly rolled pitch that was kept in covers overnight. The pitch did have some inconsistent bounce in a few patches but nothing that made Elgar and Rassie Van der Dussen - two overnight batters - in any sort of trouble.
