Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who had little guide from the lazy wicket was taken for 40 runs in his initial four-over spell as the openers scored at north of 6 an over in the initial 20 overs.

Following South Africa’s twist stifle, whose spinners bowled 26 overs in the main innings, and pulled back procedures and swung the force in South Africa’s favovur, Ashwin was presented early.
