India 80-2 (28 ovs) vs SA 335 | Scorecard

Kohli is looking in superb touch. Rabada overpitches slightly and Kohli is quick to rock on the frontfoot and play another elegant drive through the covers for a four.

He has been quite positive with his footwork and has been right to the pitch of the ball when defending off the backfoot or right back when it's short.

Still no signs of spin as South Africa continue with their pace battery despite Ashwin getting a lot of help on the first two days.

Philander comes back into the attack. Vijay taps the fifth ball on the off-side for a single before Kohli gets two runs on the leg side off the last ball.

Another change from the other end as Morkel replaces Ngidi, who bowled a good first spell of four overs for six runs.

Vijay takes a single from the fifth ball before he steers a wide ball from Philander through the vacant thirdman region for a four.

Left-arm spinner Maharaj finally comes back into the attack. And both the batsmen find it easy against the spinner, picking up four easy singles from the over.

Vijay adopts a cautious approach against Philander with tea just round the corner.

Maharaj drops short as Kohli is quick to rock back and play the cut shot for a boundary. The spinner rushes through his over, enabling the Proteas another over before the tea break.

He has not made an impression so far on a wicket where Ashwin was brilliant, even on the first day.

The wicketkeeper is up to the stumps for Philander, a tactic which worked in the last Test when Ashwin was brilliantly caught behind by wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock standing up.

Vijay not wanting to flirt with deliveries outside the off-stump and leaving as much as possible.
