We are back for the second session. Senuran Muthusamy and skipper, Faf du Plessis walk out to the middle to resume their innings.
… Day 3, Afternoon Session …
So even after managing to score 100 runs in the session, they trail by a massive 465 runs and Faf du Plessis will now have to bat out of his skin with the tail if his side want to get some respectable total and gain some confidence. Can the Protea skipper do it or will India continue to steamroll the visitors? Join us for the 2nd Session to find out.
The day started on a positive note for India as Shami got rid of nightwatchman, Anrich Nortje. Theunis de Bruyn was looking good and got off to a start but failed to convert it as Umesh Yadav sent him back to the pavilion. Skipper Faf du Plessis and wicket-keeper batsman, Quinton de Kock then put up a fight. The duo counter-attacked the Indian bowlers and took charge of the situation. They added 75 runs, with the skipper getting to his fifty before Ashwin’s gem got the better of de Kock. Muthusamy then joined his skipper and they managed to see through the session.
Another session that had India’s name written all over it. 7 sessions and all have been won by India. That shows how far ahead the hosts are in this game.
41.6 Ravichandran Ashwin to Senuran Muthusamy, no run, Jaffa by Ashwin to end the session. Gives this one a lot of air, Muthusamy looks to defend this one off the front foot but the ball pitches and turns away sharply beating the outside edge of Muthusamy’s blade. Oohs and Aahs all around but Muthusamy survives. LUNCH ON DAY 3!
41.5 Ravichandran Ashwin to Senuran Muthusamy, no run, Muthusamy comes onto the front foot to block this one out but it comes off the inside edge onto the pads.

40.2 Ravindra Jadeja to Senuran Muthusamy, no run, DROPPED BY VIRAT KOHLI! Finally a moment when the Indian skipper does something wrong. A tough chance but you expect the Indian skipper to take that one. Floated on middle and off, Muthusamy looks to flick it towards the leg side. The ball goes uppishly to the right of short mid-wicket where Kohli is positioned. He dives and tries to pluck it out with one hand but the ball does not stick in his hand. Muthusamy breathes a sigh of relief because had he got out, the resistance after this looks pretty bleak.
40.1 Ravindra Jadeja to Senuran Muthusamy, no run, Flatter one outside off spinning back in, Muthusamy pads it away.
39.6 Ravichandran Ashwin to Faf du Plessis, no run, Virat thinks there was a noise but the rest feel there is not. Floated outside off, Faf looks to sweep but misses. The ball goes under his bat to the keeper. Virat asks his teammates and then decides not to go for the review.

39.3 Ravichandran Ashwin to Faf du Plessis, 1 run, Comical! On the pads, du Plessis turns it behind the square on the leg side. Muthusamy is adamant for a run and keeps on going even though Faf does not want the run. Du Plessis surrenders as Muthusamy is more than halfway down the track. He is baffled by Senuran’s determination for the run.
39.2 Ravichandran Ashwin to Senuran Muthusamy, 5 runs, FOUR OVERTHROWS! Flighted on off, Senuran pushes it towards cover and goes for a quick single. Pujara gets to the ball quickly and has a shy at the bowler’s end. It is not a bad throw but bounces just in front of Ashwin. He misses it. Umesh Yadav backing up gets a bad bounce and it goes past him for a boundary.
39.1 Ravichandran Ashwin to Senuran Muthusamy, no run, Beauty! Quicker one juts outside off, Muthusamy looks to defend but the ball misses the outside edge by just a whisker.
