"Happy with my performance, but not completely. My wicket was crucial yesterday, would have been good if we went to stumps with only a wicket down, let's see how the games go on from here on. I'm trying my best. It was difficult to play against this attack, it hasn't been easy for us, but we will take it. We are confident, we have a crucial session coming up for us, if we don't lose a wicket early, that'll be good for us," said South Africa batter Keegan Petersen before the start of the Day 4.
