SA 121-all out (49.3 ovs) vs India 334 | Scorecard


Welcome to the coverage of Day 3 of the fourth and final Test between India and South Africa at the Feroz Shah Kotla in Delhi, on Saturday.

India have been the dominant side in the match so far. The hosts posted a healthy 334 in their first innings before bowling out the Proteas for a paltry 121 to seize a massive 213-run first innings lead.

The Indians opted not to enforce the follow-on and will look to bat South Africa out of the match.

Also, the pitch will get increasingly difficult making South Africa's task that much more difficult in the second innings.

Ravindra Jadeja did the star turn with a five-wicket haul, after Ajinkya Rahane's brilliant century, as India took control of the fourth Test against South Africa. Jadeja produced a mesmerising spell of 5 for 30 as the visitors were dismissed for a paltry 121 in 49.3 overs.

After Rahane's 127 helped India post a decent 334 in their first innings, the Proteas did not even last two full sessions, falling 14 runs short of saving the follow-on score of 135.

While left-arm spinner Jadeja accounted for the bulk of the spoils with pin-point accuracy, it was a magical delivery by pacer Umesh Yadav (2-32) and Ishant Sharma's (1-28) sharp bowling that was the highlight of the final two sessions.
