South Africa vs India 2018: 2nd Test, Day 3, 5 things we learnt from the day

#2 Bumrah opens up Centurion cracks

Bumrah hit the right length to generate variable bounce

With just a slender lead of 28, South Africa wanted to take the fight to the Indians before the pitch dried up further and brought Ashwin more into the game. But Jasprit Bumrah was having none of that as he seemingly found a big crack right on the shorter side of the stumps. He generated variable bounce hitting the crack and had Aiden Markram trapped in front of an unplayable delivery.

The calm and composure of Hashim Amla didn't match up either as Bumrah had found the trick in the track. He once again nailed the right ball managing to keep it low again and hit Amla on the pad. The Mumbai Indians seamer barely appealed on both occasions with the low bounce ensuring that a review would only cost the Proteas.
