Cape Town Test: Peiter Malan's fifty keeps South Africa in the hunt against England

By Saurabh Sharma January 06, 2020 • 22:30 PM View: 678

Cape Town, Jan 6: Debutant Peiter Malan scored a defiant unbeaten 63 as South Africa remained on course in their stiff chase of 438 to end Day 4 of the second Test against England at 126/2, still 312 runs behind, here on Monday.

Malan faced 193 deliveries and hit just two fours as he first stitched a 71-run stand with opening partner Dean Elgar (34) and then shared a 52-run stand with Zubayr Hamza (18) before England's pace ace James Anderson removed the latter with a beautiful reverse swinging delivery that found the batsman's outside edge and sailed to wicketkeeper Jos Buttler in the penultimate over of the day.
