  • Indian bowlers started the day in a terrific fashion and the likes of Mohammed Shami and Umesh Yadav ran in hard.

    However, things became difficult when Faf and De Kock played some good cricket.

    And then they tried too hard when Maharaj and Philander were in control.

    There were too many short stuff and varied lengths.

    Ishant Sharma was off the mark.

  • Ashwin was superb for India and got the crucial scalps in pivotal moments.

    He surprised De Kock with a ripper and also drew Faf to play a forward defensive shot, who managed to edge the ball.

    Ashwin was once again the chief architect and claimed Maharaj's wicket to break the stand.

    These three wickets were important as Ashwin ended with figures of 4/69.
