The ball has been shown to the umpire. The seam seems to be bruised and Morkel does the right thing by taking it to the umpire rather than picking on it and taking things in his hands.

08:23 PM (IST)
9.1 : India:15/1
9.1: K Rabada to Rahul, Intent. That's writ large on this single from KL Rahul. However, Pujara's heart would have been in his mouth. The former taps this length ball towards point and sets off for a run. The latter responds without any hesitation. He would have given an after-thought to that call seeing de Villiers get to the ball but does well to make it in. AB nails a direct hit at the striker's end but Pujara is well in.

7.5 : India:11/1
7.5: K Rabada to Vijay, OUT! Drags it on! Rabada draws first blood! An early wicket for South Africa. Rabada lands it on a length around off, jags back in and also stays very low. Vijay tries to defend but the ball takes the bottom edge and deflects onto the stumps. Not a lot Vijay could have done on that delivery. He walks back dejected and India have been rocked back early. 276 more needed.

6.6: V Philander to Rahul, Ho, ho, ho! That was close to the off pole and also stays low! He lands it on a length outside off, stays very low. Rahul is beaten as he tries to defend and the ball goes agonizingly close to the off pole. We saw many a deliveries like this during the South African batting but none misbehaved from the line of the stumps. This was very close though.

3.6 : India:11/0
3.6: K Rabada to Rahul, Back of a length on off, Rahul taps it towards point for an another easy run. This is what India have to do, keep rotating strike, put away the bad balls and not gift wickets like they did in the first innings.
07:57 PM (IST)
3.5 : India:10/0
3.5: K Rabada to Vijay, A similar shot to the boundary he hit but this time Faf has a man at deep point. So only a single. A defensive approach by Faf? Maybe because the pitch is not that hard to bat on.

2.4 : India:5/0
2.4: V Philander to Vijay, Yes, no, yes, no and to Vijay's delight Rabada slips. Gavaskar on air mentions that the calling between the two has not been good. Vijay taps the length ball towards mid on and initially calls for a run. The two hesitate again but then go through with it. Rabada runs towards the ball and slips as he reaches to it. No harm done.
