SA 60-2 (19 ovs) & 335 vs India 307  | Scorecard

AB de Villiers and Dean Elgar rallied South Africa after a few early wickets to guide the hosts to 60 for two at tea on the third day.

De Villiers was unbeaten on 33, hitting five fours, while Elgar struggled to 23 from 54 balls, to rally the Proteas after a couple of early wickets as they stretched their overall lead to 88 runs.

South Africa were rocked early by the two early dismissals of Aiden Markram (1) and Hashim Amla (1), who were both trapped leg before wicket by Jasprit Bumrah.

Earlier, Captain Virat Kohli single-handedly kept India in the contest with a splendid innings of 153 before the visitors were bowled out for 307.

Kohli hit 15 fours in his 217-ball knock, scoring nearly half of the team's total.

India ended up conceding a slender lead of 28 runs after South Africa had made 335 in their first innings.

Kohli's 71 run-partnership with Ashwin, who made 38, was instrumental in India getting past the 300-run mark.
