| Scorecard

Morkel comes back into the attack to bowl with the new ball. And he also picks up a wicket as Shami is forced to have a poke only to get an edge to be caught in the slips for one.

The onus will be on Kohli now to score as many as possible with just two wickets in hand and South Africa leading by 54 runs.

Kohli shows how it is done as he drives a full delivery from Philander through the covers for a four. Initially he called for two but the timing was so good that it beat the fielder at sweeper cover.

Kohli then taps the fourth ball through the covers for a single to bring Ishant on strike for the last two balls of the over, who does well to defend them.

Kohli keen to block against Morkel in the final over of the session. He defends the first three balls before asking Ishant in Hindi 'Will you be able to play the last two balls?' and Ishant replies in the affirmative.

Kohli takes a single from the fifth ball, giving Ishant the strike for only the last ball of the over, who defends it watchfully to end the morning session.
