Jadeja to Maharaj, OUT! LBW! Jadeja has opened up the South African batting lineup in this over. India 2 wickets away from winning the first Test match! Similar delivery by Jadeja, pitches this one around leg, he gets it to curl away from the batter. Maharaj looks to defend but is beaten all ends up. It hits him on the back thigh pad and the Indian players appeal again. This time the umpire agrees with them and raises his finger. This time Maharaj straightaway goes for the review. Ultra Edge shows no bat. Ball Tracker comes in and shows that it is clipping the off pole and thus umpire's call. South Africa retain the review but lose their 8th wicket. End of the match in the first session itself? Quite possible now!

10:53 (IST) Oct 06

Review time! Maharaj has been given out LBW and he has gone for for the review. It looks out but anything can happen!

10:52 (IST) Oct 06

Keshav Maharaj is the new man in!

R Jadeja to Philander, OUT! LBW! Jadeja on full throttle! That looked plumb to the naked eye and the replays have confirmed it. Jadeja pitches this one around leg and gets it to turn away from the batter. Philander looks to play at it but misses and is hit on the back pad. India appeal in unison but the umpire is unmoved. Jadeja tells his captain to straightaway go for the review and Kohli obliges. Replays roll in, nothing on Ultra Edge. Ball Tracker comes into play, pitching in line and THREE REDS. Philander walks back now as India need just 3 more wickets to win.

10:50 (IST) Oct 06

Review time! India have taken the review for LBW. Philander is the man in question! It looks very close and let us see what transpires!

Jadeja to Markram, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Max-reflex by Jadeja and he pulls out a blinder! Jadeja floats a fuller one on the off pole line, Markram hits it back powerfully but uppishly towards the left of Jadeja. Jadeja sticks out his left hand and the ball just sticks there. The Indians are surprised and so is Markram. He has to walk back and India 4 wickets away from a victory now.
