I don't even understand about the first innings, it doesn't even feel like the pitch is THAT bowler heavy either.
 
South African fans celebrating a collapse of 6/0 yet they're 98 runs behind after already being dismissed for 55.

Has a test match ever been completed in one day?


What should they do mate, go back in time?

Get sad after each wicket?

Remember when they bowled Australia out for 47, they still had to make 200 to win that game after the two previous innings had just been dismissed for a combined 130: you can’t exactly sit there in silence

They've now got 2.5 days to put on a batting clinic before they let India bat again if it turns out that was first innings bullshit and the pitch normalises :D

Important to note (since this is a sport of pendatry) this is the fastest completed match by number of balls bowled with a finish - which is due to rain delay. If you include draws, Test matches | Team records | Shortest matches (by balls bowled) | ESPNcricinfo

I have no idea how they measure this (particularly given the lack of record keeping in the old days) but in terms of time this is officially the shortest tests Test matches | Team records | Shortest matches (by days) | ESPNcricinfo
 
The capacity of Newlands is 25k, I would say there would be at least 10 to 15k there, maybe more, hard to count them all watching on tv.
If they'd played this in Perth on a weekend I can guarantee you'd get a full house
