South African all-rounder Andile Phehlukwayo today said it was important to find runs on a bowling friendly pitch like the one used for the third Test against India here. He said South Africa did a good job to restrict India to 187 runs in the first innings, but the batsmen must rise to the occasion in the first innings. The Proteas were placed at 6/1 at stumps in response. "We did have a good day. Our efforts on the field were really good bar a few mistakes here and there. 180-odd is really good. The guys put the ball in the right areas and they were rewarded," said Phehlukwayo after taking 2-25.
