  1. Cheteshwar Pujara Could Have Rotated Strike Better, Says Dale Steyn South Africa pace bowler Dale Steyn said that India batting mainstay Cheteshwar Pujara could have batted well and rotated the strike better during the second day of World Test Championship final against New Zealand in Southampton. Notably, Pujara’s strike-rate has become a debatable matter for quite some time now and he once again failed to do well, scoring 8 off 54 balls as well. He took 36 balls to open his account and was eventually trapped in front of the stumps by New Zealand pacer Trent Boult.

  2. He continued: “I saw something come up and it was like 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 4, 4, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 and then a wicket. I’m sure in all those 50 balls, he could have rotated strike and just gotten that scoring to nudge on a little bit for himself and as well as his team." However, India ended the second day on 146 for 3 with the captain Virat Kohli (44 not out) and the vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane (29 not out) in the middle. The day’s game was stopped due to bad light and saw an early end as well. Even the third wasn’t fruitful for India as they could only manage to put up 217 runs on the board before getting all out.

  3. Kyle Jamieson claimed a fifer and helped his side as well. Meanwhile, New Zealand openers Tom Latham (30) and Devon Conway (54) provided a steady start to their team before getting dismissed as well. However, the captain Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor were in the middle before the end of the third day and they put up 101 on the board with the loss of two wickets.
