India vs South Africa, 1st Test - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Jadeja to Markram, out Caught by Dhruv Jurel!! A very awkward looking sweep shot from Markram and he's gone! Almost seemed like an afterthought to go for it. Fired in full, he doesn't bend his knees enough, goes through the shot early and it pops up off the toe-end. Jurel does well to keep his eyes on it. Wasn't a very difficult chance but just to keep his eyes on the ball was important because short-leg fielders generally take evasive action when they see batters sweeping.
