| Scorecard

Vernon Philander opes the bowling for South Africa on Day 3 and wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock is right up at the stumps.

He starts with a wide one down the leg side which Hardik Pandya can't glance but even the wicketkeeper is beaten for four byes.

Pandya takes a single from the third ball on the leg side before Kohli defends the remaining three balls to end the first over of the day.

Lungi Ngidi to bowl the second over. Pandya resorts to his tactics of walking across and getting outside the line of the off-stump. He defends the first five balls before taking a single from the last ball.

In Ngidi's next over, Kohli gets a thick outside edge which goes past the slips for a four to take his score to 90.

But the next ball is hit right off the middle, through the covers for another boundary as Kohli closes in on his century.

Ngidi then gets the edge but it falls short of the fielder at slip before he punches the last ball down the ground for three runs to take his score to 97.
