Pitch Report | Day 2: "This pitch has played a lot better than it looks. Huge cracks and rough patches. The good areas are still in tact. Looks rough and abrasive, the rains might help hold it together. If the ball keeps landing in the driving zone and the soil gets loose, then it might do something, but there are still runs to be scored before something like that happened." - Sanjay Manjrekar and Sunil Gavaskar

Anrich Nortje to Rahane, 1 run, 11th Test hundred for Ajinkya Rahane! Up goes the bat! He came in under pressure with two seasoned fallen warriors back in the hut, and he's absorbed the pressure, and counterattacked, putting the pressure back on the Proteas. A breathtaking innings, not just in terms of audacity but because of the ease and the composure. Just a tap on the head to a length ball into the off-side, 139.5km/h, a bit of a misfield by the fielder at cover point and they've run across for a single to get to the milestone
