Mohammed Siraj sends back South African opener packing

After getting opener Aiden Markram early in his spell, Mohammed Siraj was running high on confidence. Siraj attacked South African skipper away from the stump line and he was bowling full to create a few chances for India. In the 6th over, Elgar attempted a punch through off-side. He was deceived by the late swing and edged the ball onto stumps.

The ball took an inside edge and it went crashing through the middle and off stump. Dean Elgar is leading South African side in absence of Temba Bavuma. Bavuma suffered a hamstring injury during the first test in Centurion and got ruled out of the remainder of the series. South Africa are in big trouble as they are already four down in the first 10 overs.
