SPORT LD IND 4 LAST

Smith, who got bowled through the gate by an incoming
ball, was set up by Khan who fed him outside the off stump a
couple of times before bringing in one sharply.
Thereafter the Kallis-Amla double act stole the show
exposing the inadequacies of the home team bowling in which
Zaheer Khan stood out with his aggression and skills.
Zaheer, after his superb initial burst of 6-4-2-2, ended
up with 2 for 67 in 20 overs. Ishant bowled well without
looking particularly menacing and went wicket-less for 44 runs
while frontline spinners Harbhajan Singh and Amit Mishra
totally disappointed on a wicket already affording copious
turn.
Harbhajan was monotonous with his pre-dominant
over-the-wicket line while leg spinner Mishra bowled too many
loose balls which were punished by Kallis in particular.
India summoned the second new ball half an hour before
stumps with the Proteas score on 270 for two but were unable
to separate the well-set third wicket pair. PTI
