Day One -
Bowled out South Africa for just 55 - nice
Nice bit of lunch
In for a nice cuppa at tea with a lead of 98 and only 4 wickets down
Lose last 6 wickets for 0 runs in 10 balls - not nice!
Consolation that your opponents had a day worse than yours.
Good news - tickets for Day Three are really cheap!
It was all going so well...

SA all out for 176, Markram made 106 of them. India need 79 to win.

What a terrible pitch and avert for test cricket. 30 wickets inside the first 4 sessions of the match. The ICC need to hit SA hard for this.

I don’t mind the occasional game like this tbf.
Beats the type of game we saw a lot in the 2000s, where one team gets 500, and the other gets 600 etc.

All in all decent tour for India. Drew T20 series, won the ODI series and drew the test series, winning in Newlands for the first time. This India team isn't like the old, they are perfectly capable of challenging away from home.

This world class India team are great in these series but seem to bottle ICC events.
