Pujara was India's key on day fiveCheteshwar Pujara seems to have take Virat Kohli's call for 'intent' quite seriously. The no.3 batsman has been intent on getting impossible runs, something his dodgy knee is barely capable of. In the first innings, he was dismissed by an immaculate throw from Ngidi for a golden duck while attempting a non-existent single.
In the second, he appeared more confident at the crease than in the first Test, but yet again threw it away going for a third run and taking on the arm of AB de Villiers; never a good idea that.
The throw came in right on the bounce for Quinton de Kock who sent Pujara on his way with a quick bit of glovework. Pujara is now the only Indian to be run-out in either innings of a Test and the first since Stephen Fleming in 2000.
