After wrapping up India at a low score South Africa seems to stand at a significant first innings lead and dent the visitors further. Hosts started the day2 with a very stable game and are playing now quite strongly. Meanwhile, Indian bowlers will try to restrict South Africa for as low total as possible.
So at lunch on day two South Africa trail by 106 runs with seven wickets in hand. Indian bowlers did a decent job, and departing Rabada was a difficult job. Ishant Sharma has him caught near the gully region.He was sent in as a night-watchman and did a commendable job. And this how Twitter is reacting over his inning-
South African night watchman is so good that he is doing his duty till the lunch. Indian night watchman usually finished his duty at 6 am.#INDvSA

More than his runs, Rabada has ensured that AB doesn't have to bat in the spiciest period of the day

Rabada has played more ball than KL Rahul.#WTFFact

A half-century by Virat Kohli (54) and a calm defensive 50 by Cheteshwar Pujara helped India withstand a fast bowling storm on the first day of the third and final Test against South Africa on Wednesday. Apart from Pujara and Kohli, Bhuvnesh Kumar (30) was the only batsman to reach double digits.
While Bhuvnesh Kumar is gathering all praises from fans, other team members are being trolled on social media. Here is how twitter reacted to Team India’s weak game.
Forget the pitch, no other Indian bowler comes close to Bhuvi in terms of control. More reason why he should play ever game. #SAvInd

Yaar, Shami should be allowed to warm up at the side, before he comes on to bowl. Takes his own age

Good, India have something to regret other than selections for this Test now.#SAvsIND

Kohli doesn't review the decision against DeVilliers. Must be saving the review against Philander #SAvsIND

Bhuvi is looking menacing. Shami needs to step up today and step up early. #SAvInd

Has Amla picked up something from Pujara's innings or is it just the way to bat on this pitch#SAvIND
