That's TEA at The Wanderers Stadium

South Africa 191/7, trail by 11 runs. Marco Jansen 2*, Keshav Maharaj 11*; Shardul Thakur 5/43. 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.
