SA vs IND: South African pacers struggling with lines and lengths 

Nothing to take away from Indian batters but it’s fair to say that South African pacers have so far looked off-colours in the ongoing first Test against India at SuperSport Park in Centurion. Kagiso Rabada and Lungi Ngidi shared the new ball and the pace bowling duo struggled with their lines and lengths.

Debutant Marco Jansen after looking sloppy in his fist over showed some discipline and provided a chance but to worsen the case more, Quinton de Kock dropped the catch. Among all the hosts’ pacer, Wiaan Mulder looked the most promising pacer and tested Indian batters. The Dean Elger-led side would be hoping to coming back strong in the post-lunch session.
