India vs South Africa, 1st Test: First session on Day 4 will be ‘super key’, says Temba Bavuma | Cricket News – Times of India

“Look, what happened has happened. In terms of the bowling and the batting, obviously coming tomorrow with the ball, that first session is going to be super key.
“I think the intensity that we brought today off the field in terms of the ball, that’s the intensity that we can acquire.
“Hopefully, there’s a reachable target for the batters to kind of chase down…obviously as batters we’re going to have to knuckle down and make it super hard for the Indian bowlers.”
For India, Mohammad Shami was at his vintage best, grabbing 5/44 runs in 16 overs.

“He’s a world class bowler, we have seen him do this around the world. As batters, we got to back our defence, front up and cut out those soft dismissals. But credit to the bowler if he bowls those great deliveries.”
He further said India bowlers exploited the conditions beautifully.

“The first day’s wicket was on the slower side. There was a lot of grass, so the movement off the wicket was not exaggerated…Credit goes to the Indian bowlers led by Shami.
“Also credit to their batters who really applied themselves and were able to put them in commanding position on day one,” he added.
