Pakistan scored 313 all out in the first innings, giving Australia a huge target. Pakistan batsmen Aamer Jamal and Rizwan both played brilliantly, which is why Pakistan team managed to score such a big score today. However, in the second innings, the Australian team came into the field with the aim of meeting the target given by Pakistan and two experienced batsmen at the crease. If the Australian team can perform as well as the first two tests, then they will definitely be able to fulfill the target given by Pakistan and give a huge lead. Australia team has collected 6 runs at the moment but still 307 behind Pakistan, so Australia will have to perform well to win the match against Pakistan.

Paksitani team has done spectacular performance compared to thier previous two matches where they got defeated by Australian team. No doubt just like previous matches thier top order failed to give a decent start to his team despite they give chance to some new guys still they unable to set a stage with a significant partnership where rest of the player will carry on thier momentum later after his dismissal. Anyway paksitan set a decent target and now it's upto bowler if they get some early on quick important wickets then definitely they will get them before the required 300 around target, but the way Paksitani batter done I am sure Australian will create trouble for them too. All my best wishes for paksitan to atleast safe his team from series whitewash

Pakistani fielding is garbage again dropped David Warner in first over of the Aamer Jamal by debutant Saim Ayub look like he wants to give good farewell may be with another hundred or double hundred nothing positive for the Pakistan in fielding even their bowlers are doing good job on this pitch in this match for the positive result but fielders not supporting them.

A slow but steady start by the both Australian openers with the help of Pakistani fielders most chances they will do another whitewash, and we will keep our record for losing matches in Australia because of poor fielding and batting as well.

The captain of the Pakistan test team was out with a common out, the ball was given by Marsh and it was swung Shan Masood tried to hit the ball to his bat, and it touched but the ball hit on the edge of Masood's bat, and after touching the ball was gone in the hands of Smith who present in the slip to catch a ball and he picked easily catch of Shan Masood, and when ball touched on the bat and gone at the slip Shan Masood turned back to see on the back that it caught or not and it caught but Masood was not happy with it.

Most of the time Australian bowlers never done hard work for having wickets of Pakistani batsmen so same happen in today's play as they have gone bowling on good line and length and Pakistani batsmen done usual mistakes which bring mockery of them, and they lost their wickets regularly while they were at 47 for 4 I was expecting they will be able to score nearly 150 to 180 but Mohammad Rizwan and Jamal done amazing stuff and bring their score at 313 which is amazing stuff specially from Jamal who came to bat at the 9th number and use his head with the help of Mir Hamza and bring score from 227 to 313 in 22 overs which is another milestone for these tail enders, but Pat Cummins is surely going to be one of the best in Australian cricket history as he takes 3rd consecutive five wickets hauls.

South Africa lost all wickets by scoring 55 runs in the first innings but it looks like they can at least cross 200 runs in the second innings. Meanwhile, since India scored 153 runs in the first innings, India is already far ahead of South Africa. And they haven't even played the second innings yet. So I think India will lose the match by 32 runs in the first test match but India will win the second test match. And there will be an equal winning streak with South Africa. as both the teams are very good, both the teams are not seen to collect many runs throughout the match

Whether South Africa can collect big in the second innings remains to be seen. The performance of the South African batsmen is not good in the second innings as well. They lost three wickets while batting 17 overs. Dean Elgar is out after collecting 12 runs. Zorzi and Stubbs each added just 1 run to the scoreboard. So it cannot be predicted with certainty that South Africa's next batsmen will bat well and South Africa will collect big.

Marakram is batting very responsibly. If he can stay at the crease for the first 10 overs of the next day, he might add a big collection to the scoreboard. Marakram has this capability. He is a very experienced batsman. However, if the target is more than 150 then the match will become very competitive.

South Africa vs India today 2nd Test match has already started. South Africa team came out to bat first and scored 55 runs for 10 wickets in 32.2 overs. I didn't think that South Africa team will perform so badly. I thought South Africa team might Can make like 150 runs but batsmen of South Africa team are all out to improve the bowling line of India team. Siraj bowler of India team took 6 wickets with 15 runs in 9 overs. Mukesh Kumar took 2 wickets in 2.2 overs with 0 runs. Bumrah Took 2 wickets with 25 runs in 8 overs.

Today in test game India team vs South Africa team, total two innings concluded first South Africa team completed their q st batting inning and also India team finished their 1 st batting inning and 2 inning of South Africa team was batting in pitch. South Africa team won toss and first they chose to bat on pitch. In 1 st inning of South Africa team, south Africa team only scored 53 runs and then entire team bowled out. Only K. Verreynne batsman scored 15 runs in 30 balls and he hitted only one 4s and D. Bedingham also scored only 12 runs in 17 balls and he hitted two 4s. Other batsman played very poor and India team in 1 st inning scored 153 runs and entire team dismissed. In 2 nd. inning, South Africa team scored 62 runs in 17 overs by losing 3 wickets. This was the end of 1 st day of this 2 nd test game.

South Africa should not make such a bad bowling friendly pitch. The 5-day Test match is likely to be completed in two days. Two innings were completed on the first day itself. And in the second innings, South Africa have already lost 3 wickets.

South Africa batting a bit better in the second innings. If other batsmen are not batting well, Marakram's batting is quite good today. He is unbeaten with 36 runs. And at the end of the first day, South Africa managed to collect 62 runs for the loss of 3 wickets in their second innings. They are still behind India by 36 runs. If South Africa can collect like 250 in the second innings then they have a chance to win. But as I saw the condition of the pitch, it is very difficult to score 250 runs on this pitch

That's a test cricket for you ladies and gents.

153/5 and then 153 all out lol. You can't be too comfortable no matter what, especially when a pitch is spicy and kind of lottery. Fingers crossed for 2 day match, have a bet on it. Grin

It's been a long time since I saw Indian players batting so stupidly. 7 batsmen of the team could not add any run to the scoreboard.

Rohit scored 39, Gill scored 36 and Kohli scored 46. Besides, Rahul collected 8 runs. All but these four batsmen returned to the dressing room empty-handed. They needed to bat with some responsibility. The Indian team could not even take a lead of 100 runs. And I won't be at all surprised if India lose this match. I would say India is more likely to lose at the moment.

I have never been even in my dreams we can have match like this with Indian bowlers dominate in South Africa, and they will bowl out for just 55 runs amazing stuff from the Mohammad Siraj and co which make history and perform like this with Indian inning was also no different but thanks to top three those make us some better and India able to have lead of 98 runs which can make good for them in second inning while South Africa done reasonable job in second inning and have 62 for three at the end of first day play in second test at Cape Town.

In second inning we have best from Mukesh Kumar which is also doing good, and now tomorrow first session is going to vital for both teams if Indian bowlers able to have quick wickets then surely we can expect end of this match before tea in shape of Indian win and level in this series which could be also good for the Indian team.

I enjoyed watching this match to be honest because it's been a while that I witnessed, bowling dominated the entire three sessions and especially the long 10 over dream spell from Siraj. I don't expect the SA batting can withstand tomorrow morning session, then we likely will have the result before the day ends and probably India is going to level the series.

I feel the same way. It's tough to believe that a team like India went from 153/4 to 153 all out thanks to Ngidi and Rabada after tea. Mukesh Kumar already took some important wickets in the 2nd innings though Markram is hanging on.

If India get Markram quickly, it's game, set and match for the proteas. Excited to see how this crazy whirlwind of a test ends.

It is the first time occurrence in the cricket history, wickets fell for every alternate balls and 6 gone in just 11 balls.

Mukesh showed why he should have been picked in the first match itself, and damn he was right on top with his line and length, he set the batsmen then take wickets which is kind of beauty, and he should be given more chances to play in test cricket because he is having everything that needed for test bowler.

Rizwan was out by Pat Cummins in today's day. Rizwan just completed his century but he tried to hit six or four and this six or four has been not affordable for him.

Rizwan thinks that it was a short ball but it was almost length so he hit the shot fastly to the right side but the ball was gone in the hands of Hazlewood. He hit pull shot but the ball was not going inside the boundary and gone in the hands of the fielder but when he out the all crowd clap for him due to his wonderful performance.

Muhammad Rizwan made this match like a T20 Match and was just near to the century but unfortunately our on 88 runs. Pat Cummins is a good bowler. And collected 5 wickets in today match.
After Muhammad Rizwan, Aamer Jamal was good in batting. First their partnership was good when Muhammad Rizwan got out on 88 runs. After that Aamer Jamal made 82 runs.
By the way when Pakistan lost 5 wickets at 96 runs. So I was thinking they will make almost 180 runs but Muhammad Rizwan and Aamer Jamal Partnership pulled the score. And made 313 runs. Which I think a good score.

Today is the debut match of Saim Ayub and he didn't perform well in his debut match, last time when someone from the Pakistan team went to the debut against Australia, and in Australia Fakhar Zaman and he did 94 runs in his first test innings but Saim Ayub can't do this.

Hazlewood was on bowling and Saim Ayub was on strike, Hazlewood gave a normal length ball but Saim Ayub couldn't touch it and he tried to tip but this tip has been gone wrong to Saim Ayb and for Pakistan because he is a very good opener that Pakistan got.

What a test match we are having between India and Sout Africa.

23 Wickets have gone down and still 10 overs left in today's play. Chances are that we will see result by tomorrow. Indian also don't have a big score in first innings but they manage to take a vital 98 runs lead. South Africa second innings is better then first innings so far. They need to give a target of 250 to win this game which looking not possible at the moment.

Test cricket is a five-day game, 23 wickets on the first day! Where two professional teams face each other, the kind of pitch being played is really quite ridiculous. We saw a lot of drama in this Test today, we saw South Africa's 55 all out at the start and India's 153 with four wickets to take no more runs later the fall of 6 wickets for no runs. In today's match, I only saw the role of bowler. India are leading the match and still ahead of South Africa by 36 runs. South Africa ended the day with 62 runs in the second innings for the loss of 3 wickets. There is no telling what will happen tomorrow, but the pitch has been a nightmare for the batsmen.

Today was totally dominated by the bowlers. I think the match will end tomorrow. Tomorrow will also be dominated by bowlers I believe. Mohammed Siraj literally destroyed South Africa's batting. It is the first time for me when the match has gone to the 3rd innings on the first day Cheesy

. 3 of the South Africans did good as well to dismantle the Indian batters. South Africa is on the back foot right now and I believe India will win it tomorrow.

Good come back from India in second test after losing the first test. That's very much sure that tomorrow we will see result of the game, probably in favour of India. Siraj was extra ordinary with ball today. Indians were 153 for 4 and then there batting collapsed. Six Indian batmen were out without scoring any run. The 98 runs lead which India got in first innings has given them a huge edge in this test.

I think good comeback by South Africa team after bowled out just 55 runs, they all out india in just 153 runs. Its amazing to watch after 153 runs in loss of 4 wickets and all remaining bastmen didn't add a single run to total and all out in 153 runs. From South Africa Rabada picked 3 important wicktes by giving 38 runs and Ngidi also picked 3 Crusial wickets by giving just 30 runs. South Africa strat their second innings in Day 1 and loss his 3 important wicktes in 62 runs. Bow south Africa trail by 36 runs. India is favourite to win this match if they all out South less then 200 runs.

Pakistan scored enough runs to not be considered bad as Pakistan's 313 was enough for the first innings. And Australia have started their game and if they play well then there is a possibility to surpass Pakistan's runs in the first innings but since Pakistan scored 313 runs if Pakistan can bowl a bit better then they can be ahead of Australia. So to make a good prediction we have to wait a bit more and see how many wickets Australia can save

I don't think 313 will be enough in first inning. Pakistan makes a very bad start with losing both openers very earlier than expected. Abdullah Shafique is very technical players but he is not performing against Australia which is not good for the Pakistan. Saim Ayub is new players but he is more likely to be a shorter format. Pakistan need best opening partnerships like Babar azam and Rizwan. Shan Masood and Babar also could not remains comfortable. Rizwan done a great job by making a fast 88 but I think the credit goes to Aamer Jamal and Agha salman who brings a very crucial runs for their team. Now it's Pakistan bowlers turn how they stop Australian batsmens to score and defend score to win at least one match in the series.

South Africa vs India today 2nd Test match has already started. South Africa team came out to bat first and scored 55 runs for 10 wickets in 32.2 overs. I didn't think that South Africa team will perform so badly. I thought South Africa team might Can make like 150 runs but batsmen of South Africa team are all out to improve the bowling line of India team. Siraj bowler of India team took 6 wickets with 15 runs in 9 overs. Mukesh Kumar took 2 wickets in 2.2 overs with 0 runs. Bumrah Took 2 wickets with 25 runs in 8 overs.

The game between these two teams of South Africa and India is very tight because South Africa plays much better than India at times and on the other hand India is a very strong team in the game of cricket so it is very difficult to predict between them. The game between these two teams was so tight that India scored only 153 runs in the first innings and South Africa scored only 55 runs. Both teams have very good quality bowlers. So they lose wickets very quickly

India vs South Africa third test match India bowled very well to bowl South Africa out for just 55 runs. With a lead of 55 runs from South Africa, India lost one wicket in the beginning but the team was under a bit of pressure but Rohit Sharma and Gill's responsible batting made the team a little bit ahead. India's batsmen could not make such a good run, except Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and this batsman of India, no other batsman could make such a good run. India were all out for just 155 runs. None of us really expected such batting from Indian batsmen. We might have thought that the way India batted with confidence, they might have given South Africa 200 or 300 runs. But unfortunately India's batting line is very strong but they only 98 runs to South Africa.

Collecting 98 runs is also becoming difficult for South Africa. South Africa is not playing well in the second innings either. They lost their first wicket at 37 runs, and South Africa lost their third wicket at 45 runs. But Marakram is playing very responsibly. He is unbeaten with 28 runs. And South Africa still trail India by 45 runs. If South Africa are able to deliver a target of 150-180 runs then they have a chance to win. The pitch is completely bowling friendly. And probably within 2 days the match will be over. But I still think South Africa will probably win this match like the first match. Because Indian batsmen are not in good rhythm now.

It has become very difficult to stop the fall of wickets in these Test match. In Test matches we don't usually see such low score especially when good teams are fighting. Neither India nor South Africa can score. The main cause of this condition is the pitch. But the match can be competitive even in low score. Current condition South Africa may win the match. On the other hand, India didn't get the form. The team's top order batsmen are not able to score they didn't perform in the first test and in the second Test too, it looked like South Africa would eventually win.

South Africa lost all wickets by scoring 55 runs in the first innings but it looks like they can at least cross 200 runs in the second innings. Meanwhile, since India scored 153 runs in the first innings, India is already far ahead of South Africa. And they haven't even played the second innings yet. So I think India will lose the match by 32 runs in the first test match but India will win the second test match. And there will be an equal winning streak with South Africa. as both the teams are very good, both the teams are not seen to collect many runs throughout the match

What a test match we are having between India and Sout Africa.

23 Wickets have gone down and still 10 overs left in today's play. Chances are that we will see result by tomorrow. Indian also don't have a big score in first innings but they manage to take a vital 98 runs lead. South Africa second innings is better then first innings so far. They need to give a target of 250 to win this game which looking not possible at the moment.

The Test match between India and South Africa is just a matter of wickets. India started well in the first innings of this Test match, but after seeing their 153 for 5 wickets, they were 153 all out. I was surprised to see how this could be possible. Look at how terrible Mohammad Siraj was in the first innings as he single-handedly picked up six wickets against South Africa. But I think India is still in a good position, they still have a chance to win this match.
