India 234-7 (90 ovs) vs SA | Scorecard

Morkel keeping it short to Ashwin and aiming for his body, who pulls the fourth ball but can't beat the fielder at square leg. Morkel bowls a quick bouncer which goes high over the batsman as keeper Vilas does well to stop it, leaping high. Ashwin again pulls the last ball but this he can't find the gap at midwicket.

Slowly but surely, Ajinkya inching towards his century as he collects a single off Abbott to take his score to 92.

Two balls later, Ashwin plays a nice wristy flick through midwicket for his second four. He is timing the ball really well this morning as he plays a couple more good shots but fails to find the gap both times.

Morkel bowl a good line and length to Rahane in the channel just outside the off-stump. He goes hard at the fourth ball only to get an edge towards thirdman for a single and Ashwin also gets a single in the same region.

After defending the first five deliveries from Abbott, Ashwin throws his bat at the last ball of the over for a single to retain strike.

India reach 243 for seven in 90 overs. Rahane closes in on the first century of the series, having made 93 from 171 balls, while Ashwin is looking solid on 13 from 50 balls.
