The first Test of the three-match series between India and South Africa is underway at the SuperSport Park in Centurion in South Africa.
India are off to a solid start with KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal opening for India. Earlier, Virat Kohli had won the toss and elected to bat first in his second visit to South Africa.
Notably, the Test match is being played behind closed doors due to the outbreak of Omicron in the country. India had narrowly lost the series 1-2 the last time the two teams played.

India are batting at 32 for no loss of wickets after 10 overs.
