Day 4
India were 35 for three in their second innings, chasing 287 at stumps on day four of the second Test.
On a pitch of uneven bounce — the odd delivery shot through or climbed from a length — M. Vijay was bowled by a Kagiso Rabada off-cutter that kept low.
The new sensation, the big, strong and pacey Lungi Ngidi soon got into the act, dismissing K.L. Rahul who sliced a short delivery into backward point’s hands.
Then Ngidi delivered the heavyweight punch. Indian captain and its batting mainstay Virat Kohli, playing across to a delivery angled in a staying a shade low, was adjudged leg-before.
