India vs. South Africa Cricket Series

1.06 pm Play to start at 1.20 pm local time. No rain and the pitch covers come off. Huge cheers around the arena. It's not too dark but the floodlights are still on.
 
South Africa 61/2 (21.0 ov)

Match delayed by bad light - Day 1
 
2.22pm Ah bad luck. Guess it is the Nelsonesque numbers on the watch. Bad light halts play.
 
This break is helping SA batsmen, so many runs being scored and so freely.

Someone take two quick wickets
 
South Africa 109/3 (29.5 ov)



28.3 Sreesanth to Amla, OUT, 132.8 kph, Amla has played one shot too many and Sree has struck with the short ball. We have had a few comments, asking whether Amla thought this was the Twenty20 match for which he's been picked.. Well, he was in T20 mode since the rain resumption, wasn't he? Sree gets this bouncer to end on off and middle, which meant Amla had to pull it all the way across. He went for the challenge, and tried to clear the two men in the deep, but this was onto him faster than he'd have though. The top-edge loops up and lands in deep midwicket's hands. India have a big wicket here. Sree gives him a bit of a send-off


HM Amla c Pujara b Sreesanth 59 (110m 80b 9x4 1x6) SR: 73.75
 
Amla forgot that he aint no Sehwag and he is playing a test match.

Too much aggression and hafta pay the price for the same.
 
pitch is losing the sting.. bowlers being bit wayward too..
 
I see south africa at 344 for at 8 wickets by next 30 overs. Key is tomorrow morning's spell.
 
232/4 at the end..

Good we got the toss, but we were not able to bowl well as expected. If we able to take early wickets, we can see a more balanced match.
 
262/5... prince off..
