The buildup to the India vs South Africa second Test in Cape Town was all about the capitulation of the visitors in the first Test. After a loss by an innings and 32 runs in Centurion, the odds were stacked against the Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team. However, it did not take long for the Indian cricket team to dish out a cold revenge - only 107 overs to be precise. In less than five sessions, India won the match by seven wickets and drew the two-match series 1-1, their first in South Africa in 13 years.
Pakistan star Agha Salman has revealed how his pee break helped Australia's star opener David Warner earn a lifeline during the third Test match at Sydney Cricket Ground. During Australia's first innings, Warner edged a good length ball which was bowled outside off stump from Pakistan pacer Aamer Jamal. The ball took the outside edge of Warner's willow but debutant Saim Ayub dropped the catch at first slip. After the day's play, Salman revealed that Saim's fielding position was third slip but since he had gone for a pee break, the debutant had to switch his role.
Jasprit Bumrah, India's priceless fast bowling mean machine, produced a hostile spell to guide India to a series-levelling seven-wicket victory against South Africa in the shortest game ever played in Test history. Bumrah (6/61 in 13.5 overs), the master practitioner of fast bowling, knocked the stuffing out of South Africa's middle-order in a menacing morning spell though Aiden Markram (106 off 103 balls) fought like a lone ranger on a burning deck to take South Africa to 176 in 36.5 overs at stroke of lunch on day two.
