Silky in this test, India have pretty much edged ahead of SA. That also with a young inexperianced indian team. The bowlers and batsmen have done incredibly well. whether we lose this or win, we have played very well here.

India will be batting at some point tomorrow. Hopefully we get the SA tail ASAP in the morning and have a lead of 50. If we manage to post 200+ SA will find it very hard to chase it

Nice start for the day

End this innings with a 50 run lead.

Could get interesting

Terrible innings from Faf. Asking the tailenders to score all the runs when he is the batsman

The lead is already only 40 neon..the damage was done yesterday. We let them off the hook when they were 6 down for 150. Should have had a lead of around 80 going into the second innings.

Good comeback from Zaheer.

Time for India to go 10-2. Both openers in the dugout with Kohli and Pujara in.

Might as well open with Kohli and Pujara

That was excellent from Zaheer K

India won't get a better opportunity than this.

They look a lot more relaxed now, the openers. Keep rotating the strike, that's key at the moment. Don't let them bowl maidens and put pressure on

We have to be more aggressive this innings.
2 days left, we shoudl be lookng at building a solid lead today, and planning to get them in early tommorrow

There's 3 days left Neon..we need to try and bat out the second session tomorrow. That'll leave us with 4 session to bowl at the Saffers

im losing it

india need to keep them for long, and give our pacers some good rest.

Dhawan's gone. Good bowling from Philander probing his off stump

Come on boys, don't throw this opportunity away!

Good line, Had to play at it

The good news for India is that Styen has looked off colour.

close

This match is excellent.

The game is evenly balanced at the moment
Balls moving around

Great advert for test cricket

Great advert on the day when ICC might cancel the World Test Championship in 2017 due to lack of sponsors.

Doesn't look like Morkel will bowl again

Bring on Tahir

Lack of Sponsers = Lack of money
Can't see an issue here Kash. Can cricket afford toplay a tournament without sponsers?

The problem with a world test championship is that unless its the home nation it will not draw in the crowds. We saw what happened to Yorkshire when Pak played the Aussies. It was like a county match crowd wise.

The sponsors probably look at this and think fek it and rather contribute to a one day tournament.

You would think in England they would have been interest.

Even in England, only certain games gets a full crowd i.e Ashes, or when they play India

Apart form that, the grounds only tend to fill up for ODI and 20\20 games.

I'd say thats the same in about every test playing nation at the moment.
