In the same over, though, Nortje grazed Gaikwad’s grille with a brutal incutting bouncer, and could have had him caught had short third man been more alert. After India were asked to bat first yet again, Ruturaj Gaikwad came good after a couple of failures for his maiden international half-century. He still found enough nip in the corridor to have Pretorius and van der Dussen caught behind. Axar delivered the wicket of South African skipper Temba Bavuma in his first over, and Chahal, bowling quick, flat and skiddy, sent back Dwaine Pretorius and Rassie van der Dussen.
