Two heroes emerged - one at the dusk of his career and the other just in his Test infancy - on Day 3 of the Durban Test between South Africa and India.

While Jacques Kallis shone with his 78* in what is his 166th and farewell Test, Jadeja claimed four and looked set for more.

South Africa were on 299/5 - 35 behind India in the first innings - before rain brought an early end to proceedings.

Shikhar Dhawan completed a good catch to dismiss Smith - running back and keeping his eyes on the ball all the time.

Amla was dismissed on three soon after, by Mohammad Shami and Jadeja (center) removed Alviro Petersen off the next delivery of the fresh over.

In walked Kallis - at the dismissal of Amla - and the veteran was given a guard of honour by the Indian team led by skipper MS Dhoni.

Kallis (left) and AB de Villiers combined to blunt Indian attack and make them toil.

De Villiers in particular, took the lead and scored a fifty.

Jadeja once again came to India's rescue when he dislodged de Villiers on 74 and followed it up with the wicket of JP Duminy (28).
