India vs South Africa LIVE SCORE UPDATES 1st Test Day 1: 150 up for SA!
South Africa’s lower order battled hard against a disciplined Indian attack, but they struggled to make significant progress. Mohammed Siraj and Ravindra Jadeja were particularly effective, with Siraj taking 2 wickets for 47 runs in his 12-over spell, extracting some reverse swing to trouble the batsmen. Tristan Stubbs (14 off 56 balls) and Corbin Bosch (1 off 10 balls) showed resilience but were unable to score freely, facing tight lines and lengths. The absence of Kagiso Rabada was felt as South Africa’s tail failed to get the runs needed to post a competitive total.
