1st Test: Bowlers Continue To Make Merry As India Reduce SA To 154/8 At Tea
With Tristan Stubbs: India’s bowlers tightened their grip on the opening Test as they reduced South Africa to 154/8 in 52 overs at tea on day one’s play at the Eden Gardens on Friday. After a shared morning session, India dominated the post-lunch passage of play, claiming five wickets while conceding just 49 runs in 25 overs.
Apart from Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav adding one more scalp each to their wicket-taking tally, Mohammed Siraj found his rhythm to strike twice, while Axar Patel did well to get a wicket at the stroke of tea. With Tristan Stubbs still unbeaten on 15, India will sense that they can wrap up South Africa’s innings quickly in the post-tea session and get to have a crack with the bat till stumps arrives.
Kuldeep and Bumrah set the tone immediately for India after the lunch interval by maintaining relentless accuracy. That relentlessness was rewarded when Wiaan Mulder’s attempt to reverse-sweep Kuldeep ended in him being trapped plumb lbw, with the all-rounder also burning a review.
