Centurion, South Africa, Dec 26 (AFP\/APP):India were in a solid position despite losing two wickets off successive balls from Lungi Ngidi on the first day of the first Test against South Africa at SuperSport Park in Centurion on Sunday.<\/p>\n

India were 157 for two at tea.
\nOpening batsmen KL Rahul (68 not out) and Mayank Agarwal (60) put on 117 for the first wicket after Indian captain Virat Kohli won the toss and decided to bat on a green-tinged pitch.<\/p>\n

But Ngidi interrupted the touring team’s serene progress when a successful review resulted in Agarwal being dismissed leg before wicket.
\nCheteshwar Pujara was out to the next ball, caught off bat and pad by Keegan Petersen at short leg.<\/p>\n

Rahul and Agarwal both showed good judgement in deciding which balls to play against steady but largely unthreatening bowling.<\/p>\n

New cap Marco Jansen, 21, a tall left-arm fast bowler, created the only chance of the morning, having Agarwal dropped by wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock with his score on 36 and the total 52.<\/p>\n

India were 83 for no wicket at lunch but were put under more pressure by some improved bowling by South Africa after lunch.<\/p>\n

The South Africa team wore black armbands in honour of anti-apartheid icon Desmond Tutu, described as the country’s moral compass, who died on Sunday aged 90.<\/p>\n

Both teams also held a minute’s silence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
