LUNCH BREAK! India 53/3 after 26 overs against South Africa
It was clearly a session dominated by South Africa -- three wickets for 53 runs in 26 overs. India openers started cautiously and added 36 runs in 14 overs, but the loss of Mayank Agarwal (26) changed the scenario completely. Runs dried up drastically, and then India lost two wickets in two balls to comeback man Duanne Olivier. The pacer removed Cheteshwar Pujara (3) and Ajinkya Rahane (0) to put the Proteas firmly on the driver's seat. KL Rahul (19*) and Hanuma Vihari (4*) are on the crease for the visitors at the break.

Olivier to Vihari | NOT OUT! INDIA 51/3 in 25.4 overs
South Africa went for a LBW decision against Hanuma Vihari, but lost it. That's two wrong reviews for the hosts so far. The replay showed that there was an inside edge from Vihari's bat.
