Twitter reacts as batsmen struggle on a dangerous Wanderers pitch

The third day of the Johannesburg test match between India and South Africa was expected to be keenly fought between the two sides.

India had shaded the previous two days, as Virat Kohli’s men were in a strong position heading into the third day. While the pitch was expected to assist the bowlers, no one could have expected the ball Wanderers pitch to spit fire throughout the first session.

South Africa started really well, as Morkel and Philander picked up early wickets to put India on the back foot early on. It took Vijay’s resolute defense and Kohli’s brilliance to put together a partnership, as the pair steered India towards 100.

Both batsman suffered blows to their fingers, as the ball jumped off a good length and crash into their bodies. The umpires had to stop play, and asked both captains if they wanted to continue.

Eventually they continued, but not without doubts lingering over the state of the pitch.
