Mohammed Shami took 5-44 to become the 11th Indian to take 200 Test wickets as India whittled out South Africa for 197 in their first innings of the first Test
CENTURION (SOUTH AFRICA) – Pace bowler Mohammed Shami bowled India into a strong position on the third day of the first Test against South Africa at SuperSport Park in Centurion on Tuesday.
Shami took five for 44 as South Africa were bowled out for 197 in reply to India’s first innings total of 327.
His haul saw Shami become the 11th Indian to take 200 wickets in Tests.
India reached 16 for one at the close, an overall lead of 146 runs on a pitch which is likely to offer increasingly uneven bounce over the remaining two days.
Shami said there was no mystery to his success. “I bowled line and length,” he told journalists.
