The first Test between India vs. South Africa started with a bang at the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium in Mohali on Thursday, with the Indian side coming crashing down at 201, and the visitors ending the day at 28 runs for two wickets.

When last reports came in, the Proteas batsmen are struggling to face the Indian spinners and were reduced to a score of 179/9. India are likely to get a lead.

Things didn’t seem very bright at the end of the first day for the visitors, given that they have lost two big wickets, and their star player, JP Duminy hasn’t recovered from his hand injury as yet.

Chandigarh pitch is just the perfect one for spinners, and no wonder nine wickets on the day went to the spinners, who had a gala time.
