SPORT SA LD INNINGS 3 LAST

Earlier, Sehwag almost had a disastrous start as he
survived a tough chance in the second ball of the match when
South African pace spearhead Steyn failed to hold on to a low
straight drive.

Sehawg though could not last long as one cut off Parnell
flew down to third man and Steyn accepted the chance
gleefully.
In came Dinesh Karthik and after a few watchful
deliveries the Tamil Nadu batsman dispatched Parnell for a
couple of fours to start his innings in brilliant fashion.
Karthik played a perfect partner to Tendulkar by keeping
the scorer busy with good running and finding boundaries,
letting the senior pro play his natural game.
They did not spare any bad ball and in just 10 overs
India had put on 74 runs on the board, puncturing all Proteas
hopes of taking advantage of an early wicket.
South Africa’s opening bowlers were made to look
pedestrian as they leaked 78 runs in their first spells.
Tendulkar hit just four fours to reach 100 from 50 but
opened up after reaching the three-figure mark as he lofted
Duminy over long on for his first six after hitting Kallis for
a four in the previous over. PTI AT
