Mohammed Shami and second innings - what a beautiful love story. The Indian pacer went wicketless in the first innings and as always came back stronger in the second innings and ripped the Proteas' top order apart. Shami provided three important breakthroughs by removing Temba Bavuma, Faf du Plessis and Quinton de Kock. Faf and de Kock amassed more than 200 runs in the first innings for South Africa but failed to read Shami's seam movement in the second innings. In the last two years, Shami's average in the second innings is 19.32 which is much better than his average in first innings 34.55. 

Here's how fans on Twitter reacted on Mohammed Shami's stunning performance:
