Kanpur, April 11: Indian bowlers have done a decent job by restricting South Africa to 265 in their first essay and the onus is now on the batsmen to post a big total and put the hosts in the driver`s seat, said young leg-spinner Piyush Chawla. According to him, the Green Park track may have already started deteriorating but the experienced Indian batsmen should not have much difficulty since the rival team does not have too many spinners.

"I think we have done well to restrict them to 265, particularly after the good start they got. It will now depend how our batsmen play tomorrow," Chawla said after the opening day`s play which saw the visitors being bundled out for 265 in the first innings.

South Africa got off to a sound start and were in fact 152 for one at one stage before the Indian bowlers struck to shoot them out for 265. Chawla reckons it`s now for the batsmen to complement the bowlers` effort and said the willowers should not have any problem.

"We have a experienced and quality batting order and they will be able to do the job for us," asserted the youngster, who returned to the Test team after a making his debut in March 2006.

India too will find going tough, predicts Amla

South Africa`s in-form batsman Hashim Amla today admitted that his team lost "too many wickets" towards the end but warned India that they would also find the going tough in the third and final cricket Test.

"We lost too many wickets after a good start. It is not an easy wicket to settle down. But whether we have enough runs on the board will be known tomorrow when India come in to bat", Amla said after the opening day`s play which saw South Africa being bundled out for 265 in the first innings.

The visitors began well and at 152 for one at some stage, they looked set for a big total. Harbhajan Singh and Ishant Sharma then shared six wickets among them and Piyush Chawla claimed two to bowl out the visitors for 265.

Amla, the only Indian-origin player in the South African squad, said the Green Park track was turning slowly and the batsmen have to play with a positive attitude to be able to survive. "It had a lot more turn on the first day than any other wicket we have played on.

So that is why the first innings total was important for us.

Whether it is good enough, we will know tomorrow", said the batsman who struck a sedate half-century today.
