2nd Sunfoil Test: South Africa v India, Day 4
Rabada cleaned up the tail

Pujara was the sole obstacle between South Africa's seamers and the tail. Andile Phehlukwayo, who had bowled pathetic lines until then, found the right length and enough nip away from Pujara to eke out an outside edge. The no.3 batsman's 179-ball vigil came to an end and the hosts had the much-needed opening they sought.

Hardik Pandya fell to a horror pull shot, once again off Phehlukwayo, and India had lost their last recognized batsman. Though Bhuvneshwar Kumar hung around to make 30, South Africa saw off any further threat by bowling the visitors out for 187.
