Ashwin comes back into the attack with left-hander Kagiso Rabada out in the middle.

Du Plessis edges the second ball for two runs past the slips before he is beaten off the fifth ball and then keeps strike with one from the last ball.

Du Plessis takes a single from the third ball off Ishant on the off-side before Rabada defends the rest of the over.

A rare boundary for South Africa as du Plessis smashes a wide delivery from Pandya through the covers for a four to take his score into the 30s.

Ashwin comes back and gets one to spin big, beating Rabada easily but it goes through the wicketkeeper too for two byes.

South Africa are 225 for seven in 80 overs, with an overall lead of 253 runs.

India are not taking the second new ball as Pandya continues as the Indians are way of the new ball going for runs. They don't want to let South Africa off the hook, a couple of wickets here could turn things in their favour.
