While Lesego Senokwane: South Africa A continued from where they left off against India A on Day 3 of the ongoing first unofficial Test between the two sides here at the BCCI Centre of Excellence Ground 1 as the top-order batters kept scoring runs, adding to the team’s first innings lead.

Starting the proceedings on Day 3, Gurnoor Brar got an early breakthrough in the first session as Jordan Hermann was dismissed in just the second over of the day. While Lesego Senokwane and Zubayr Hamza tried their best to build on the innings thereon, Manav Suthar continued his fine form with the ball and sent the latter packing.

The 28th over saw Tanush Kotian picking up two wickets as he dismissed Marques Ackerman and Senokwane on the first and last deliveries of the over as India gained the much-needed momentum. Anshul Kamboj then joined the celebrations as he claimed the Proteas’ fifth wicket, dismissing Rubin Hermann cheaply for an 18-ball 15 as the visitors struggled to get going.
