SA 119-5 (130 ovs) & 121 vs India 334 & 267-5d | Scorecard


After a long time, Ashwin finally strikes with the wicket of JP Duminy, who is out for a duck.

The left-hander shuffled across and went right back as he looked to defend but was beaten and trapped right in front of the stumps.

It took India 120 overs to claim the first four wickets but two wickets in the space of six overs in the post-lunch session has opened the door for India.

South Africa in a bit of trouble at the moment as they are reduced to 112 for five, in the 125th over.

New batsman Dane Vilas does not take time to get off the mark as he drives the third ball he faces through the covers for two runs and repeats the shot off the next delivery for two more runs.

In his next over, Ashwin gets one to rear off the pitch, hitting Vilas on the arm as he looked to defend.

Jadeja beats Vilas twice in his 42nd over getting the ball to spin sharply and also some bounce. He was very close to getting the edge both times.

India keeping a few fielders in the deep for AB, who takes a single from the second ball off Jadeja to bring back Vilas on strike. Jadeja won't mind that as he beat Vilas twice in his previous over and came very close to getting the edge, but the right-hander manages to play out the over.

South Africa are 119 for five in 130 overs with AB on 39 from 270 balls and Vilas on four from 23 balls.
