Rain washes out morning session

The weather is not too promising for the next two days and India will be hoping that rain does not dampen their push towards a 2-0 series lead.

South Africa created just one chance, when Vijay pulled Morne Morkel to Imran Tahir at square-leg, but the leg-spinner put down the simple chance to complete a tough day for the tourists.

The loss of an entire day has changed the dynamics of the match slightly.

No surprises then that a drawn game is at 1/12 while India and South Africa are a distant 8/1 and 66/1 to win the Bengaluru Test match.

India won the first Test inside two days to suggest a result is not out of their reach just yet, however, rain is predicted to follow each day this week.

Play was called off for the day at 11.30 am due to a steady drizzle.

They might have been dismissed for a paltry 214 on the opening day of the second cricket Test against India but South Africa coach Russell Domingo said there is no need to press the panic button. Your whole preparation goes for a toss.

Kohli’s reference was in response to Pujara’s role which was nearly like an opener at Mohali given that Dhawan had failed in both innings forcing the No. 3 batsman into the middle by the second over in the first innings and the third in the second.

What a bad sequel the second day of the second Test in Bengaluru on Sunday (November 15) turned out to be.

He added 39 runs for the sixth wicket with DaneVilas (15) and did most of the scoring while wickets fell at the otherend.

Varun Aaron had watched all-rounder Stuart Binny pip him to the new ball and the speedster responded by castling rival captain Hashim Amla with the final delivery of his second over. “With four overs remaining, play was called off”. It was played with effortless ease. It has not stopped raining since last night and no play is expected to happen anytime soon.
