- Live scorecard (Day III)

India resumed at 25 without loss on the crucial third day of the opening Test against South Africa at the VCA Stadium in Jamtha (Nagpur) on Monday.

The visitors had put up a mammoth 558 for six declared in their first innings after batting for close to two days. A late declaration gave the hosts four overs to bat before stumps on day two.

Hashim Amla, with an unbeaten 253, and Jacques Kallis (173) were the most significant contributors to that South African total.

With newcomers like Murali Vijay, S Badrinath and Wwriddhiman Saha in their ranks, and absence of veterans like Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman, India will need their three most experienced batsmen -- Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir and Sachin Tendulkar -- to perform at their best.
