India 245; South Africa 256-5 on day two of first TestRetiring veteran ends day unbeaten on 140 at Centurion
An unbeaten century from the veteran Dean Elgar and 50 on debut from David Bedingham allowed South Africa to take an 11-run lead with five wickets in hand over India, before bad light ended play on the second day of the first Test at Centurion.
The 36-year-old Elgar is retiring from international cricket after this two-Test series but played one of the best innings of his long career as he scored an emotional 140 not out to help the hosts to 256 for five in reply to India’s first-innings total of 245. He will resume on Thursday with Marco Jansen, who has three, with South Africa seeking to build a substantive lead.
