Kohli Kohli’s distinctive feature is how it dealt with balls on the off-stump channel, something he has fought into the series-decider.
What was extraordinary was that he did not avoid playing a noble drive he knew, he had just taken the right ball to go for his punch and did not play carelessly around the stump.
It will be the stump on the 3rd day of the 3rd test.
15 balls to go down, go with a wide closing drive from Jansen and get fifty no later than the right straight drive.

The South African Pace combo from Rabada and Duanne Olivier took advantage of the conditions at the first hour by removing Maya Agarwal (15 off 35) and Kl Rahul (12 off 35).
