Day 2 Stumps: India Lead By 58!
Back-to-back boundaries from Pujara, India are in a lead of 58 runs now and it's also Stumps on Day 2.
Shardul Thakur has struck again and this time Keegan Petersen has to go after a fine knock. South Africa are three down now and they are still trailing by 101 runs.
Petersen is dealing in boundaries now!! Three boundaries in last four balls and this is what South Africa needed from their No.3 batter. 100 up for South Africa!!
Fifty up for Keegan Petersen!! He has batted really well till now and going strong. South Africa might have lost their skipper but Petersen is still alive and playing an impressive knock against top-quality pace attack.'
Indian bowlers will look to take early wickets in the first session on Day 2 to bring their team back in the game. South Africa have batted well for their second wicket partnership in the last session of Day 1.
Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Burah will have to do the bulk of the damage if India want to restrict South Africa within 202. The two right-arm seamers were one of the major reasons behind comprehensive victory in Centurion and looking at the track on offer here in Johannesburg, there is no reason why they can't repeat the same.
