Commentary
Leggie Tahir was held back till late into the session by Amla and justified the decision by posing little-or-no threat to the batsmen. Ravindra Jadeja, back in the Test team on the back of a stunning FC season, batted with intent in an attempt to push India's score to safe shores. Mishra was sent ahead of Ashwin but fell trying to force the pace. Rabada's wicket off a no-ball was the only moment of despair for South Africa and Ashwin is still very much there.
Tea, Day 1: Mohali hasn't taken kindly to the fact that the pitch was left uncharacteristically dry for the series-opener. The ball turned sharply in the second second session to bite back the hosts and the visiting spinners, Elgar in particular, made merry as they pushed India into a corner. Rahane and Saha fell prey to sharp offbreaks from Elgar whose two wickets in two balls propelled him to his best ever Test figures. Vijay, arguably India's man for all seasons, unfurled an array of shorts to snatch back the initiative but Harmer rapped his pads to put the brakes on that.
