SA are 31/1 after 8 overs
SLOW PITCH, SLOW START
The fact that the ball isn't doing much after pitching and a thick edge, inside the first 10 overs, didn't carry to the keeper shows the nature of the track. Now that India have had an early breakthrough, they would be keen to get rid of this pair. Quinton de Kock looks settled and Bavuma, who averages nearly 50 in his nascent ODI career, comes into the series on the back of a decent run in the Test
