India sense victory, SA face daunting task on Day 3

November 27, 2015 09:10

SA 32-2 (14 ovs); Target: 310 | Scorecard

Welcome to the coverage of Day 3 of the third Test between India and South Africa in Nagpur, on Friday.

India need eight wickets to clinch the four-Test series against South Africa after their spinners, led by Ravichandran Ashwin, wreaked havoc on a turning track on the second day of the third test on Thursday.

Shot out for 79 in their first innings earlier in the day, South Africa returned to chase a 310-run victory target on a manic day when 20 wickets tumbled on a fast-deteriorating surface at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium.

The tourists, who trail the four-Test series 1-0, were 32-2 at stumps, having lost opener Stiaan van Zyl and nightwatchman Imran Tahir, and facing an embarrassing defeat inside three days.

Dean Elgar (10) and captain Hashim Amla (three) were unbeaten at the crease.
