Bumrah wkts follow Kohli ton for India

Tuesday, 16 January 2018



CENTURION, Jan 15 (AFP): Jasprit Bumrah struck twice at the start of South Africa's second innings after Indian captain Virat Kohli hit a magnificent century on the third day of the second Test at SuperSport Park on Monday.
South Africa were 60 for two at tea, an overall lead of 88.
Kohli made 153 in India's first innings of 307 before he was last man out, caught in the deep off Morne Morkel, who took four for 60.
Despite Kohli's efforts, South Africa had a first-innings lead of 28.
This was soon rendered insignificant when Bumrah reduced South Africa to three for two.
Aiden Markram was Bumrah's first victim, falling leg before wicket as he played back to a ball which cut back and kept low.
Bumrah followed up with the wicket of Hashim Amla, who was also trapped on the back foot by a ball which cut back. Both batsmen were so palpably in front of their stumps that neither sought a review.
