Jasprit Bumrah and Umesh Yadav were the wicket-takers in the morning session
Promising young batters Keegan Petersen and Rassie van der Dussen looked confident in their 55-run unbroken stand for the fourth wicket as South Africa reached 100 for three at lunch on the second day of third and final Test against India.
Jasprit Bumrah (11-4-16-2) and Umesh Yadav (7-1-29-1) bowled two top notch deliveries to get rid of opener Aiden Markram (8) and night-watchman Keshav Maharaj (25) but Petersen (40 batting) and van der Dussen (17 batting) held fort with lot of confidence despite a testing morning session of fast bowling from the Indian line-up.
For skipper Virat Kohli, quick wickets are the need of the hour as he won't be able to concede a big first innings lead while defending a below-par first innings score of 223.
