SA 258-all out (91.3 ovs) & 335 vs India 307 
| Scorecard

Mohammed Shami picked up four wickets, while Jasprit Bumrah bagged four as India bowled out for South Africa for 258 in their second innings.

AB de Villiers was instrumental in helping South Africa reach a healthy total in the second innings amidst some testing bowling by the Indian pacers.

He stroked 80 from 121 balls, adding 141 runs in a crucial third-wicket stand with Dean Elgar, who overcame a shaky start to score 61.

Faf du Plessis battled hard for 48 from 141 balls, but his partnership of 46 with Vernon Philander (46) proved to be crucial.

The pitch is still uneven with some balls shooting up for length and India will need to bat out of their skin to clinch victory on Day four and five.
