Hello and welcome to Sportstar’s LIVE coverage of Day 3 of the first Test between India and South Africa at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Saturday.
IND vs SA – 1st Test Scorecard
DAY 3 REPORT
For the second day running, the Eden Gardens pitch continued to mystify batters, indiscriminately, in the opening Test between India and South Africa.
Despite going through nearly three innings’ worth of batting, not a single player from either side has crossed 40 in a go.
But as the dust settled on Saturday, it was the home team that pulled ahead in the game after its spinners made up for a sub-par batting effort, which saw India post just 189 in the first innings.
TOSS
South Africa won the toss and opted to bat against India.
