Jansen’s all-round effort boosts South Africa A

Marco Jansen impressed with bat and ball for South Africa A against India A in Bloemfontein on Wednesday.

Marco Jansen fired with bat and ball for South Africa A against India A in Bloemfontein on Wednesday.

Batting at No 8, the 21-year-old made an unbeaten 70 off 123 balls to help the hosts post 297 in their first innings.

He was well supported by Glenton Stuurman, who made a vital 27 while batting at No 11 before being freakishly run out when the ball ricocheted off the bowler’s foot on to the stumps.

Jansen and Stuurman then each took two of the five India A wickets to fall on day two of the second match between the teams.

The visitors were 198-5 at stumps, still 99 runs behind, with Hanuma Vihari (45*) and Sarfaraz Khan (30*) at the crease.
