2nd Test: Steady 74-run Stand Between Stubbs, Bavuma Takes South Africa To 156/2
Barsapara Cricket Stadium: A steady 74‑run stand between skipper Temba Bavuma and Tristan Stubbs took South Africa to 156/2 in 55 overs at lunch on day one of the second Test against India at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium on Saturday.
Kuldeep Yadav struck early after the interval to dismiss Ryan Rickelton, but Stubbs and Bavuma ensured there was no further damage with a composed unbroken stand. While Bavuma remained unbeaten on 36 from 86 deliveries, Stubbs was 32 not out off 82 balls.
Bavuma and Stubbs began cautiously, taking time to assess the conditions before cashing in on anything loose to keep the scoreboard moving and ensure the visitors look well-placed to post a commanding score on a pitch which has offered true bounce and little assistance for the bowlers.
