India 194-6 (70 ovs) vs SA | Scorecard

Interestingly, Duminy continues, as he comes on to bowl his fourth over while Tahir continues to be sidelined.

The leg-spinner has bowled just four overs in two spells, while off-spinner Piedt has sent down 27 overs, taking four wickets in the process.

Amla did the same mistake in Nagpur in India's second innings, delaying the introduction of Tahir till around the 25th over after which he came and bagged five wickets.

Jadeja and Rahane content to milk the spinners around the ground to keep the scoreboard ticking. Rahane nearly edges the straight delivery from Duminy as he once again plays down the inside line.

The last ball is short as Rahane punches it through the covers where the mighty Morkel sprints across and gets down in time to save a certain boundary and keep it down to two.

Piedt errs with his line as he bowls a wide half-volley which Rahane crashes uppishly through the covers for a four.

Tahir finally gets a bowl as Duminy is taken off after a four over spell. He starts with the googly which is short as Jadeja hits it through the off-side for two runs. The fifth ball is again short and wide as Jadeja crashes it through the covers for a four to raise the 50-run stand for the seventh wicket.

Rahane's fifty (61) and his good partnership with Jadeja (21) which has fetched more than 50 runs now has helped India reach 174 for six in 70 overs.
