Root to Rohit, FOUR, to long-off

Hugh: "When you look at Root's career and how, through periods of utter turmoil, he maintained such excellence in his batting - and then how remarkable it is to see a player like that opening the bowling, I cannot but think how utterly incredible Jacques Kallis's career was. Prolific at the top of the order AND a genuine front-line bowler: incredible!"

Shank: "@Hugh, 10 years later, Saffers are yet to plug that hole. They lost 2 players in a single shot."

Ankit : "Wood should have given another over, was bowling well. "

srini: "considering the way india bats these days, can we safely assume that the game will be finished by end of day today?"

Kiran C: "@Hugh - Kallis is a once in a century cricketer! No one else even come close to his consistent all round prowess in both formats of the game."

Ishaan Karki: "If Hartley gets his lines right, can be a handful here. Is the tallest spinner on either side I think, will get good variable bounce. "

Naman: "Jaiswal should play his natural game or he is more likely to get out..This chase is about small contributions from everyone rather than 1-2 batsman grinding all day."
