15 OUT! Chahal strikes! A timely wicket for India as this partnership was starting to flourish. Yuzvendra floats it up on middle, it turns back in quite appreciably. De Kock tries to flick by walking down the track but misses and is hit on the front pad. The Indians put out a confident appeal and the umpire agrees with them. De Kock too, starts walking back without even thinking of a review. He should have, as it looked like it was missing the leg stump. Nevertheless, the Indians are ecstatic as the dangerous de Kock walks back. Also, Hawk Eye agrees with me and it shows the ball to be missing the leg stump. 83/2

7.3 OUT! It is a legal delivery! Bumrah draws first blood. He goes wide of the crease and bowls it on off, it shapes back in a touch. Amla tries to drive with not a lot of foot movement. He misses and the ball hits him on the pads. Bumrah makes a loud appeal and the umpire raises his finger. Amla straightaway starts walking back as he knows he is a goner. The umpires though ask him to wait as they want to check for the no ball. After a few replays, the third umpire rules it in favour of the bowler. An early wicket for India and it is the big one of Amla. Just the start they wanted. 30/1

49.2 OUT! Faf du Plessis holes out! He will be disappointed though he could not put that away. He gets a full toss on off but unfortunately he hits it straight down the throat of Pandya at long off who does not drop many. The South African skipper walks off to a standing ovation. Yes, India did miss a review against him but since then he has looked fluent as ever. Nevertheless, a dot and a wicket to begin with for Kumar. 264/7

20.4 OUT! Chahal gets his second. The tight bowling from the Indian spinners pays dividends. Chahal tosses it up on leg stump, seeing the flight Markram uses his feet. He did not get to the pitch of the ball but still goes ahead with the shot. He tries to flick but it goes off the inner half towards Pandya at short mid-wicket who takes a sharp catch. Markram bags a failure and he walks back dejected. The Indians are delighted as they know they are on top here. 103/3

25.5 OUT! TIMBER! Kuldeep is up and running in celebration as he gets his first. What a delivery that! He tosses it up on middle, it is the googly. It turns back in a touch and also stays low. Duminy fails to pick it and by the time he realizes he is too late. He misses the ball completely and it hits the middle of middle. Another one bites the dust for South Africa and they are in a spot of bother here. 122/4

27.5 OUT! Virat has taken it cleanly! Half the side back in the hut for South Africa! Kuldeep once again tosses it up on off, Miller tries to drive but goes hard at it. He hits it uppishly towards Kohli at covers. The Indian skipper dives forward and he seems to have taken it inches above the ground. Miller though feels it has bounced as he stands his ground. The umpires come together and decide to take it upstairs. The soft signal is out and it is time for the replays which show Virat has his hands under the ball. It is clean as a whistle. The dangerous Miller is given his marching orders and South Africa's woes deepen. 134/5

40.4 OUT! Kuldeep Yadav provides the much-needed breakthrough for India. Not the best of deliveries he has bowled but he won't mind. He bowls a dipping full toss outside off, Morris goes for the sweep but is beaten as the ball sneaks beneath the bat, bounces and then hits the off pole. The 74-run stand has been broken and an excellent innings from Morris comes to an end at the right time for India. They will now look to restrict the hosts under 250. 208/6

49.5 OUT! RUN OUT! A full ball way outside off, Rabada goes for the big hit but misses. Andile Phehlukwayo at the other end wants the run. Dhoni underarms a throw to Bhuvi who collects it and whips the bails off at the non-striker's end to find Kagiso short. Also, the umpire signals it as a wide. 268/8

6.3 OUT! There comes the first breakthrough! Morne provides it. A nothing shot from Rohit. The ball is on a length outside off and the batsman just looks to go over the top without bothering to move his feet. Big mistake. He has survived a couple of close calls so far, with the edges missing the stumps. But third time he is not so lucky. The ball goes off the leading edge and is miles in the air. Quinton de Kock - my word - that is some catch. Calls clearly and loudly - and runs towards point and takes a very good catch. Still a decent start from India. 237 more needed from 261 balls. 33/1

12.2 OUT! LBW shout, turned down. But South Africa still get a wicket! Superb fielding. A length ball outside off, Dhawan swings wildly across the line and misses, getting hit on the pads. Morris starts to appeal but then bails out, recognizing the inside edge. But then, out of nowhere, Virat Kohli is halfway down the pitch for the single. Poor Dhawan has no idea and is suddenly seeing his skipper haring towards him when the southpaw is busy searching for the ball. No option other than to sacrifice your wicket for the best batsman in your team. Dhawan starts to run but gives up halfway. Because Aiden Markram has swooped in on that ball and already had a shy at the bowler's end. Bang. Hits. Dhawan is not impressed with Kohli who is looking angrily at him. Dhawan gestures to him about what was the necessity for that run and then walks off angrily. Absolute waste of a wicket and the 34-run stand has been broken. India need 203 runs from 226 balls. 67/2

44.3 OUT! Kohli falls. After a valiant century. A short ball outside off, Kohli looks to pull but mistimes it miles in the air. Kagiso Rabada runs across to his left from fine leg and takes it comfortably. Kohli cannot take his team home but his side is nearly home. End of another magnificent innings. 262/4

42.4 OUT! No double century stand, no 8-wicket win. South Africa have picked up a wicket more because Rahane has got bored of net practice. A length ball on middle, Rahane looks to go over the top but there is no timing on that. The ball goes off the inner half of the bat towards long on where Imran Tahir takes it calmly. What a partnership. Worth 189. Just 14 more needed. 256/3
