Second Test: Jadeja removes de Villiers to leave South Africa at 177 for 7 at tea
At tea, South Africa have scored 177 for the loss of 7 wickets.
AB de Villiers (85), by far was the only South African batsman who looked comfortable against the spin duo of Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin, who picked up 6 wickets of the seven that have gone down so far.
After being asked to bat, Hashim Amla's men hardly added 15 on the board before spun the cherry to remove van Zyl for 10 and within the next three deliveries sent Francoise du Plessis back to the pavillion, who so far had a forgettable series with scores of 0, 1 and 0 in the three innings he faced.
South Africa's captain Hashim Amla with his dogged play tried resisting along with Dean Elgar but Varun Aaron pitched one in good line that pegged back Amla's stump, leaving his side reeling at 45 for the loss of 3 wickets.
