Shardul Thakur gets maiden five-for as South Africa reach 191/7 at tea

India pacer Shardul Thakur grabbed his maiden five-wicket haul as South Africa lost the momentum towards the end of the afternoon session to reach 191 for 7 at tea on day two of the second Test. Thakur (13.1-3-43-5) with his happy knack of breaking partnerships more than compensated for Mohammed Siraj's hamstring injury as Keegan Petersen (62 off 118 balls) and the in-form Temba Bavuma (51 off 60 balls) laid the platform only to fritter away a promising start. The only silver lining for Proteas is that they are now only 11 runs short of India's first innings total of 202. In fact, just like skipper Dean Elgar (28 off 120 balls) and Petersen had a 74-run stand broken in the first session, Bavuma and keeper Kyle Verreynne (21) had added 58 runs in a fifth wicket stand before Thakur once again got into the act. If outswingers worked well in the first session, it was the scrambled seam off-cutters that did the trick in the post-lunch dismissals. In case of Verreynne, the ball cut back
