SYDNEY :Australian opener David Warner's impassioned appeal for the return of his missing baggy green cap for his final test has been successful with the rucksack containing the iconic headwear discovered at the team hotel in Sydney.
Emotions were heavily invested during the Indian cricket team's second and final Test match against South Africa at Newlands, Capetown. The guests suffered an innings-and-32-run drubbing in the first Test match in Centurion and this was their only chance to make up for it with a series-levelling win. Team India came with added energy and went on to win the game by 7 wickets that too within two days. What the win meant for the side was clearly visible when India skipper Rohit Sharma vented out his frustration with an animated celebration after taking the catch of Aiden Markram. The wicket more or less made sure that India had to chase a paltry total.
The India vs South Africa 2nd Test ended inside two days. In all, only five days of cricket action was possible to see in the two-match Test series. While the first Test ended in three days, the second Test's duration was beyond explanation. Thrice the teams were all out in a span of five sessions. While the pitch at the Newlands Stadium is under question, there are those who have raised questions at the batters' technique too.
India captain Rohit Sharma said his team's seven-wicket victory over South Africa inside two days – the quickest win in Test history – had shown their ability to play anywhere in the world.
Fielding in the slips is never easy, with deliveries coming at pace after edging the blades of batters. On occasions, players fielding in the slips get hit on the body while attempting to catch or stop a ball. That is what happened with India star Virat Kohli in the second Test of the series against South Africa in Cape Town. The ball kissed the bat of Proteas batter David Bedingham's bat before awkwardly falling in front of Kohli. The India star tried to stop the ball but it bounced off his hand and hit him in the face.
Australia vs Pakistan 3rd Test Day 3 Live Updates: Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith will aim to keep Australia moving against Pakistan on Day 3 of the third and final Test match in Sydney.

Labuschagne was on 23 and Steve Smith 6 in their team's 116 for 2 before play was ended by bad light and rain before Tea. (LIVE SCORECARD)
A two-day Test is bound to generate a lot of question marks. The same is happening with the India vs South Africa second Test that ended in less than five sessions on Thursday. As many as 23 wickets tumbled on day one with the hosts being bowled out for 55 and the visitors for 153 before India lost three more wickets in their second innings. In the second session of the second day, India completed the task in 12 overs. Only 107 overs were bowled - making it the shortest Test match ever.
India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah had a ball on Thursday with the pacer registering a six-wicket haul. The right-arm pace spearhead extracted the most out of the surface at Newlands, Cape Town on Day 2 of the second Test against South Africa. Bumrah's terrific show kept the fans in the stadium on the edge of their seats while those outside the venue remained glued to their television screens. While Bumrah has a massive fan following, an infact watching him wreak havoc on South African soil must be special as the little one was none other than his own son Angad.
