South Africa v England - Second Test: Day Three

#1 AB de Villiers springs to life

2nd Sunfoil Test: South Africa v India, Day 3 — AB de Villiers stuck through a tough period to take South Africa to a lead

The Port Elizabeth crowd bore witness to an AB de Villiers master class as he stood up for his teammates and composed an extraordinarily brilliant knock while Australia's seamers ran havoc on the others.

The stunning middle-order batsman stepped up and batted like a dream as he punished one bowler after another.

Pat Cummins was on fire while Mitchell Marsh and Mitchell Starc were reversing the old ball. None of that mattered for de Villiers who went about his composition with utmost ease and took South Africa to a lead in the company of a resolute Vernon Philander.
