Good comeback by the Indian bowlers yesterday but they need to get rid of the tailenders quickly today because that's the area where Indian bowlers struggle to get wicket.
 
Philander and de plesis have added about 67 i think need to break them and rest of tail, you need a lead do not how many runs you can pile in the second innings since the bowlers have changed their line and bowled fuller and at stumps.
 
Lead of 36. Damn valuable. Let's evaluate our bowling now. Ishant - As much as I hate this guy he was brilliant in this innings. Hardly any bad bowl. Deserved a fifer which he didn't get. Shami - was expected to bowl good. Did bowl good. ZAK- for me the best thing which happened to India is getting him back. Not just that he took 4 wickets but the way he guided both Shami n Ishant and his work on the ball to make it reverse. Awesome. Missed his guile the way he set up Smith. Ashwin - well his contribution in this match can be from bat only. All in all great job.
 
I had mentioned earlier, bowlers have good chance to improve their stats in this SA tour. They will never get such wickets to perform in India.
Hope India gets significant lead to put pressure on SA in 4th inning.
 
11th time all ten wickets in an inngs to Indian pacemen. Last occasion at Cape Town in January 2011
