Advantage South Africa as Kallis, de Villiers build lead
Posted on April 4th, 2008 by admin
Jacques Kallis and AB de Villiers struck unbeaten half-centuries to take the visitors to 223-4 at stumps. South Africa have already managed a 147-run lead. Dale Steyn took a fiver to destroy India in the first session.
There could have been only one reason behind captain Anil Kumble’s decision to bat first on a lively surface at the Sardar Patel Stadium at Motera here – that he could buy some more time to heal his own injury and be able to bowl. What he didn’t consider though, was that his batsmen needed time too.
