PRETORIA - South Africa rode their luck to reach 22 for one at tea against India as they chased a record victory target of 305 on a spicy wicket on day four of the first test at Centurion Park on Wednesday. The wicket is a treacherous one for the batsmen, and perfect for the Indian seamers to exploit. The next highest is 226 for four by South Africa against Pakistan in 1998. India were bowled out for 174 in their second innings, the South African seamers expertly using the conditions with Kagiso Rabada (4-42) and 21-year-old left-arm debutant Marco Jansen (4-55) the chief wicket-takers. In 14 tests since the start of 2020, Kohli has scored 652 runs at an average of 26.08.
