I'm not trying to hate on Philander, but it was actually nice to see him be out bowled by both Steyn+Morkel for a change. Early days though..
Flem, there is still a 3rd innings, Australia for instance did reasonable in our first innings, often forgotten how SA performed badly first innings in the 47 game.

Think they've done a bit more than avoid indignity imo. Personally, I think they won the session. There was definitely help for the bowlers and SA would be disappointed with 70-2. Especially how they leaked runs in the last few overs

Kohli would struggle to ever be out at two down tbf...

Neither teams' session really. SA would be pleased with the amount of edges they produced and ind would be pleased that Kohli and Pujara seem to be almost comfortable.

It seems like India won the session because of what we expecting more than anything; they're in no way ahead in the game at 70/2. India will be a lot happier with how that went than South Africa but realistically it's honours even.

Fair enough, but if you'd told India they'd be 70-2 at lunch with Kohli and Pujara well set, they'd have taken that gladly. There's also the fact that Philander and Steyn weren't as good as they usually are. Reckon SA will be slightly disappointed
If they can keep milking the part timers, I definitely see a good score

Good fightback by kohli, with a certain degree of luck. but india has to play like this.

Yeah, Philander especially. If you pick Morkel then that's what you get, but Philander was really poor in that regard. I wonder if the work he's been doing on becoming a better away bowler and a better one day bowler has got him into some bad habits; I was actually impressed with how he brought his length back in the UAE and in the one dayers he played recently but bowling the same length here was criminal.

Yeah I don't disagree with that at all, but that's more saying that we expected SA to win the session than that India won it. India will be a lot happier than SA with how that went but that's not quite the same thing as India winning the session. If this was Ireland playing their first Test and they went in 50/2 they'd probably take that but they'd have still lost the session.

Morkel is so unlucky.
lots of runs on offer on this pitch.

Philander is bowling crap. needs to pitch it up bowling in tandem with morkel and he will tear india apart.
