South Africa v India 2013: 1st Test: Day 2: 5 of the Best Plays of the Day

Another absorbing day of Test cricket that finished just about even, but both sides had their moments to take control of the first Test match on what was another day that showed the world, that Test match cricket is well alive, and can make for engrossing viewing as well.

Here are 5 of the best plays from Day 2.

1. The Collapse

The last five wickets tumbled really fast for India

After resuming at 255/5, India would have been hoping for MS Dhoni and Ajinkya Rahane to push on and get the team to a score in excess of 350. But, that did not happen. Vernon Philander finally found the right areas and Morne Morkel continued from where he left off on Day 1. Morkel got the wicket of Dhoni and from there, the floodgates opened, as India lost their last 5 wickets for 16 runs, in the space of 4.3 overs.
