India vs South Africa, Nagpur
Dhoni wont the toss and chose to bat. The openers have done justice to his decision. After 12 overs India are 111 – 0, Sehwag 59 off 48 balls, Tendulkar 43 off 25 balls . Its a flat batting track and its going to remain same for the rest of the match. 350 seems like a must on this track. There is nothing in it for the bowlers.
There was only one chance the South Africans had for picking a wicket when Morkel got the ball to nip a bit off the seam, got Sehwag’s edge, the ball flew a bit wide of the keeper, the keeper didn’t go for it.
Tendulkar looks rock solid and well set for a big one. Sehwag looks a bit iffy but seems to be controlling himself. He is not going the see-the-ball hit-the-ball way
There seems to be a little something-in-it for the spinners. Bhajji might enjoy that, if the dew and his average form doesn’t play spoilsport.
17th over – Sehwag out to a rubbish shot to a ball of Faf du plea …. I don’t know how to spell that, bit I am sure you know who….
