A seven-run first-innings lead is probably the best indicator of the wafer-thin difference between India and South Africa on a seaming, bouncy Wanderers pitch. (INDIA vs SOUTH AFRICA 3rd TEST DAY 2 HIGHLIGHTS)Like India, South Africa too had three batsmen reach double figures n the first innings. (INDIA vs SOUTH AFRICA 3rd TEST DAY 2 SCORES)Especially Bumrah, who bagged his maiden five-wicket haul and provided the support Bhuvneshwar needed after dismissing Dean Elgar and AB de Villiers. Bumrah’s enterprise also allowed India to mask a somewhat inconsistent bowling that didn’t lure South Africa enough with fuller deliveries in the right channel. That triggered an implosion that saw South Africa lose their last four wickets for 26 runs.
