India v South Africa, 2nd Test, Bangalore, 14-18 November, 2015

So roads from Bangalore to Delhi, and some massive scores then?

Likely to be another scrubbed-up Bunsen.

Oh dear, yet another player (Philander) injures himself playing football, and he's now out of action for eight weeks. Wasn't Duminy injured in the same way a few months ago?

What will it take for football warm-ups to be banned?

Was on the last tour to Aus. He had been named in the test team and couldn't be replaced.

And Steyn joins Philander on the sidelines.

Bigger crowd in Bangalore than in Perth.

Saffies in early trouble at 15-2.

Looks like it was a good toss to win for India - SA in trouble at 4/80.

Duminy out; India into the tail.

They are all there to see AB.

He still needs to be keeping though. With Vilas, you're into the tail too early.

Oh dear.

Another 4 to Jadeja, ay? And ABdV is clearly in a class of his own in this SAf side these days.

AB makes it look a different pitch to his compadres.

Faf looks in terrible nick and even Amla seems a bit off his game - and with the rest of the top order being relative newbies SA can ill afford that situation to continue. Not sure you'll be able to turn this series around but I'm pretty sure that when you return to your home shores your batsmen will climb into Eng with a bit more relish.

Didn't watch. India 80/0 means most SA batsmen did a lousy job then? Couldn't have been that much of a turner.

Oooh, that's an ugly day 1 scoreline for the SAffers.

Far better day 3 score though.

Can one burn an effigy of the rain?

FFS, there's no rain, and just a few damp spots on the ground.

THINK OF THE PUBLIC AND GET ON WITH THE GAME.
