Petersen, who made his way into the side on the back of 1376 runs in the past first-class season, got to a 55-ball half-century in his first session of Test cricket. Amla seemed to be carrying on from his 253 not out at Nagpur, whipping from in front of the stumps and cutting with supreme confidence. The first 20 fetched 17 boundaries, 10 of them from Petersen
