India vs South Africa, 2nd Test - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Harmer to Rahul, out Bowled!! Harmer strikes in his first over. A tossed up delivery by Harmer outside off, draws the batsman forward and Rahul gets beaten as the ball spins in sharply from the rough. Tried to play it by closing his bat across the line, missed it altogether and the stumps have been rattled. With both the openers gone, India sink further. Rahul was lunging out to meet the ball and he made the mistake of going across the line, the dip and drop of the ball beat him and went past the inside-edge. All said it was a lovely delivery.
