South African fast bowler Dale Steyn snapped up five wickets for 23 runs as India were dismissed for 76 off 120 deliveries before lunch in a remarkable start to the second Test in Ahmadabad. It was a stark contrast to the first Test at Chennai, when the bowlers toiled for 25 wickets for 1498 runs over the five days.It was the first time that India had been all out in the first session of a Test and they managed one run more than their lowest total at home, made against West Indies in 1987.
The Indians elected to bat but South Africa were able to start their first innings before the first interval. They finished the day on 223 for four, with a lead of 147.
