The India-A bowlers had a tough time on the field as Pieter Malan and Tony de Zorzi scored centuries to take South Africa-A to 343 for three at stumps on day one of the opening unofficial Test here on Tuesday.
After opting to bowl, the Priyank Panchal-led side got two early wickets before Malan (157 batting off 258 balls) and Zorzi (117 off 186) shared a 217-run stand for the third wicket to put South Africa A in a strong position in the four-day game.
Pacer Navdeep Saini, who has lost his place in the Indian team, took a wicket and so did left-arm speedster Arzan Nagwaswalla and Umran Malik, who was picked in the A squad after impressing with his extra pace in the IPL.
