Amla shuffles across and turns the second ball on the leg side for one before Philander pulls the last ball for another single.

Ishant from the other end. Philander gets a leg bye from the first ball as he fails to connect with the flick before Amla picks a single on the off-side.

The last ball is short and wide and sits up nicely to be hit as Philander smacks it through the covers for a four.

In the next over, Bhuvi gives Amla some width who slaps it through the covers for two runs and then takes one to fine leg.

Philander then drives Bhuvneshwar on the up through the covers for a four as runs start to flow after the tea break.

An angry Bhuvneshwar then puts some extra effort and gets the ball to kick off length, hitting Philander on the gloves.

South Africa have scored 16 runs from three overs after the tea break to take the score to 159 for six in 57 overs.
