Steyn triple strike jolts India on Day 2

NEW DELHI: Dale Steyn dismissed Cheteshwar Pujara, Murali Vijay and Rohit Sharma in his successive overs on the second day of the second Test at Kingsmead in Durban on Friday.

Scorecard

Steyn denied Vijay (97) a well-deserved century having him caught behind down the leg side by AB de Villiers and on the next ball Sharma shouldered arms to a delivery that was pitched on the middle stump and went on to crash into the middle stump to register a golden duck.

Steyn gave South Africa the much-needed breakthrough when he had Cheteshwar Pujara caught behind by AB de Villiers.

Pujara fell after scoring 70 runs and added 157 runs with Murali Vijay for the second wicket.

Constant rain washed out the morning session and forced an early lunch in the Test.

The start of the day's play was earlier delayed due to bad weather. However, things looked good to go when the umpires walked out to the center to inspect only to return back as it started drizzling again.

India had reached a comfortable 181/1 before bad light stopped play on Day 1.
