LIVE CRICKET SCORE – IND vs SA 1st TEST VIZAG
IND vs SA 1st Test Match Live Cricket Score and Updates from ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam: India will aim to begin their home season on a high when they take on South Africa in the first Test of the three-match series beginning on Wednesday at the ACA-VDCA Stadium. This will be India’s first big test in the ongoing ICC World Test Championship. Virat Kohli’s men would be full of confidence after they consolidated their position as the No.1 side with a 2-0 series whitewash in West Indies, which also saw them earn their first points in the WTC.
They would go into the series as undeniable favourites considering their enviable record at home since 2012-13. However, the upcoming series against the Proteas will not be an easy one. The quality of the South African side, despite their inexperience, was visible in the T20I series which ended in a draw. And with the likes of Faf du Plessis coming into the line-up, the hosts can be rest assured to face stiff competition from the Proteas.

Live Updates
-
Play has been called off for the day
-
It’s still pouring heavily at Vizag, chances of resumption in play diminishing every minute.
-
It’s absolutely pelting down now at Vizag, looks like the inevitable might just happen!
-
And there comes the rain, in all it’s glory! We’re in for a delayed start to the last session on day 1, folks!
-
Not good scenes here in Vizag! The entire ground has turned blue, that’s because of the sheets covering it, and the skies have gone really dark!
-
That’s tea and Vizag and a premature one thanks to bad light. It’s pretty overcast now, the umpires have had a word with both the captains and the players are walking off!
-
SIX! Rohit is hitting biggies at will here. 5 so far. This time it is the sweep shot. He hits it nicely and it clears the mid-wicket fence.
-
There it is! 100 for Rohit Sharma. 4th in Tests. What a way to grab the opportunity presented. He was struggling to get into the side, here, he gets a chance as an opener and he responds with a ton. Outstanding knock and the whole stadium is on its feet applauding the effort. He gets to the milestone after cutting the ball through point for one. He would now be eyeing a big one, maybe a double ton. He has three in ODIs, can he get his first in Tests here? Also, the bowler has overstepped so it is no ball too.
-
Senuran Muthuswamy is back!
-
SIX! one after the other. This time it’s over the long on boundary, Gets to the pitch of the ball and launches it. This one went further.
