12.45pm Tabraiz Shamsi: It is a good feeling, and hopefully we win this one as well. The main thing is pitching in line with the stumps and the surface does the rest. Australia is a quality side, our bowlers did a great job. We should be able to chase it down."
SA rested three-first choice bowlers but still wiped out Australia for 167 in 36.4 overs. Abbott led the way with the new ball before Shamsi, the left-arm wristspinner, took over and ended with career-best returns of 3 for 36. The story could have been worse for the visitors if not for fifities from Wade and Marsh. We'll be back soon for the chase.
Maksood: "6 LBWs. 5 to Spinners." --- Shami identified accuracy was important on this surface
Muddasar: "What a day to have in Cricket, Kohli (200+), Rahane (188), India 550+ while BD 117/5 and Austrailia 167/10. Eventful day."
Shalom: "Will Tremain do a Mitch Johnson today? Mitch used to always fed off his batting performance while bowling. Also, I agree that Aussies have been poor during this series. Kudos to South Africa."
