Ashwin, Ishant lead India’s comeback, South Africa bowled out for 335

Date:

Ravichandran Ashwin and Ishant Sharma bowled firing spells as India bounced back in the second Test of the three-match Test series against South Africa.

After superb start, South Africa suffered batting collapses in patches as they were bowled out for just 335.

Aiden Markram and Dean Elgar gave Africa a blistering start as South Africa opted to bat first after winning the toss. Elgar fell for 31 but Markram then added 63 runs with Hashim Amla before being dismissed for 94.

AB de Villiers then added 51 with Amla before he was dismissed by Ishant Sharma. Amla was the next man to go after another partnership. Few quick wickets reduced them to 282 for 7 but a 42-run stand between Kagiso Rabada and Faf du Plessis led a mini revival.

The duo survived few dropped chances but once Rabada fell for 11, Du Plessis followed soon after scoring 63.

Ashwin picked up 4 wickets while Ishant picked 3. Shami also got one wicket.
