SA 202-5 (67 ovs) & 335 vs India 307 
| Scorecard

A desperate India take the review after Pandya hits du Plessis on the pads. The bowler himself was unsure but Kohli standing next to him at silly mid-off after a brief discussion decides to take the review.

But the impact is too high on the pads and the ball is going on to clip the top of the stumps which means the decision stays with the umpire's call and India also end up saving their review.

Du Plessis drives the last ball straight to mid-off and takes a risky single but he makes it safely and anyways the fielder didn't hit the stumps.

That takes South Africa's total to 200 for five in 65 overs, to stretch their overall lead to 228 runs.

Ishant beats du Plessis with a beauty as the ball moves away enough to past the edge before the Proteas captain defends the rest of the over.

In the next over, Philander looks to drive Pandya but the ball stays low and comes in to take the inside edge but falls well short of wicketkeeper Parthiv Patel.

Philander looks to pull a short ball and doesn't connect properly but the ball falls safely behind square to fetch him a single.

Du Plessis clips the last ball of his pads for one to retain strike.
