Super Sehwag sprints past 200
A stirring double-century, at better than a run a ball, from Virender Sehwag was the centerpiece of an emphatic Indian response to South Africa's mammoth total. By tea on the third day, Sehwag had made more than two-third of India's runs, with 287 being added to the overnight total of 82 at well over four an over. The first-wicket partnership ended at 213, with Wasim Jaffer contributing a dogged 73, but that was merely the signal for Sehwag to unleash a fusillade of strokes before the intervals. South Africa's five bowlers toiled away with no reward on an unforgiving pitch and by tea, a couple of them were looking a little shell-shocked. |
